Ah, the fortune cookie game (where you add “in bed” to the end of your fortune and giggle commesurately). My fortune: You are capable, competent, creative, careful. Prove it….in bed. (Yeah, if only I had the opportunity…) Nate’s fortune: Your sparkling eyes give a healing light to those you meet…in bed. (I’d have to ask ...

So sometime over the weekend, my counter went up to 3,000 hits. I’ve had this thing up here, sporadically, since summer. I think it’s been up and working for a grand total of about 3 months. So there’s 1,000 people reading this a month… Or, far more likely, 25 or 30 reading it over and ...

So much that I did all my studying for my Italian test, which isn’t until Tuesday either, before even starting this paper. So much that half the first page is taken up by user comments from IMDB.com. So much that I went to Television Without Pity and read ER summaries from 3 years ago. So ...

This is the fourth concert I’ve been to in less than two weeks, and I’m happy to say that it’s been four for four in terms of excellent performances. Well, at least in terms of main acts. Duncan Sheik opened, and while he was not bad per se, he picked a totally wrong set. He ...

1. It is time to give up on using your umbrella when the wind blows it inside out three times inside of ten minutes, especially when you’re also trying to hold a coherent conversation with your mother on a cell phone without getting blown into Lake Michigan. 2. It is time to ride your bike ...
