(Note: most of this post was written a few days ago, before I got sick, but then my computer decided it needed to restart and I couldn’t finish it until now.) I haven’t written anything for a couple days because 1) I was working 2) I took a little trip to Duluth, Minnesota. Clearly, an ...

I’ve been really sick, so I haven’t updated in a while. Highlights: – I went to Duluth (more to come). – I graduated from college (WAY more to come). – I have a viral chest infection and a bacterial ear infection (hopefully not more to come). – I got really, really sunburned today (more bitching ...

Okay, this happened Saturday afternoon, but the more I think about it the more it bothers me, so I feel a need to post about it. I was at work and there were two middle-aged Jewish women and the 13 or 14-year old daughter of one of them sitting at a table. They gave me ...

I’ve had several people ask me how it feels to be 22. The answer: Pretty much the same. I didn’t get as drunk as I did last year (an easy task, because I was falling down drunk last year). There just wasn’t as much of a sense of change this year. I think the birthdays ...

For shits and giggles, here’s my horoscope for the next year, from the Washington Post: IF JUNE 8 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Your practical side excels at organizing and creating order out of chaos.

(note: This was written at about 5am last night, but Blogger was down at that time) Do: Get given a stuffed animal from Finding Nemo, of the character played by your namesake. Don’t: Try not to laugh while chugging a drink while your friends sing you Happy Birthday in mock disdain for your friends and ...
