When I opened my mailbox on Monday, I expected to get my issue of Newsweek. What I did not expect was this. This illustration of California, shaking, throwing its citizens off, falling apart, and generally falling off the country, is precisely what I needed just as I’m preparing to move out to Los Angeles on ...

Visiting an outdoor amusement park (say, Six Flags Great America) on the nicest Saturday of the summer (say, today) generally leads to a whooooooooooole lotta time standing in line. You’ll still have fun hanging out with your friends, but it does become a little annoying to stand in line for 90 minutes for a 90 ...

1. Ran a red light in front of about 15 cops. Fortunately, they were all looking the other way, at a car wreck, so I didn’t get pulled over. I hope I didn’t blow through all my stored up good Karma on that one… 2. Went to Zephyr’s and attempted to eat both an order ...

I love the smell of a good concert in the evening. I just got back from Fountains of Wayne, and they were awesome. Ben Lee opened for them, and he did a bang-up job, so I got a copy of his new CD, which is not officially out in the states yet. I’m too sleepy ...

I would like to announce that my tremendous amount of useless knowledge (at least when combined with others’ useless knowlege) is worth: 30 bucks. My team, “Jesus, We’re Nerds!” (a name arrived at when we were deciding whether to be Cistern of Justice, then someone asked the spelling of Cistern and the other five of ...

California, California You’re such a wonder That I think I’ll stay in bed -Rufus Wainwright Well, it’s official, I’ve cracked. I’m moving to Los Angeles. Actually, it’s been official for a few weeks now, I just haven’t gotten around to expositing about it because I’ve been kind of lazy about writing in here lately. So, ...

I got a fun present today: Baby’s First Migrane. My head has never hurt like this. I feel a lot better than I did, even though I’m still at the “horrendously bitchy headache” stage.
