…I was six months from being born. But much more importantly, everyone’s favorite 6’5″ Utahn law student, Mark, was born. And in honor of his birth, a few pictures of him from our Adventures in EuroLand: The view I had of Mark for much of our trip. One of the many instances that caused us ...

I’ve turned into a total wimp since I moved here. I used to scoff at single-digit temperatures when I lived in Chicagoland. Those days, I’m afraid, are gone. I’ve spent the last couple of nights frozen solid because the temperature here dipped into the (gasp!) low 40’s. At night. The problem is, my apartment retains ...

Northwestern is going to be playing UCLA in the Sun Bowl, which takes place December 30th in scenic El Paso, Texas. I get back from Christmas in Connecticut the night of the 28th. Who’s up for a little roadtrip?

Stupid motherfucking cold. I feel a little better, but here’s the downside: I woke up this morning and I could barely talk. I found this out because the first thing I tried to do was yell at my cat to get his head out of my printer (he’s weird), and almost nothing came out of ...

The only parallel that came to mind was the Simpsons episode where Bart joins a boy band that’s actually a front for subliminal advertisment for the Navy. Except the ...

It’s definitely cold and flu season. I dragged myself to the grocery store today since I had nothing to drink except beer. Normally, this wouldn’t be a problem, but beer is off the menu due to the heinous cold I have. Ralph’s decided to go with volume over pricing in selling their store-brand NyQuil substitute ...

I’ve been desperately trying to fight off what I could tell was going to be an extremely bitchy cold for the last week. I thought I had beaten it Saturday, because I was feeling much, much better. Oh, how wrong I was. The antibodies…they surrendered. Looks like I’ll be spending the next few days with ...

Looking at the cab line at LAX last night, and seeing approximately 8,000 people waiting for approximately three cabs, I decided I’d try out the new bus service that runs from right near my apartment to and from LAX. I was reminded why I usually drop the extra 20 bucks on a cab: The driver. ...

Yay California! Boo still being on east coast time and waking up at 7:30am.

Watch out for drunken moose.
