Give me that old time religion
I’m about halfway through reading Sarah Vowell’s The Wordy Shipmates and it reminded me that I had this old photo sitting on the hard drive unprocessed and previously unseen to the world. So here it is. Oh, and the book is fantastic. It’s about Puritans. Not the ones who were Read more…
Nerdy font humor at its greatest
See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor. If only there were a way that Comic Sans could have died at the end…
The Fishstick — Making it Mellow
As many of you know, I’m a virtual dance machine. (Emphasis on the “virtual.”) That’s right, just get me fueled up with about 2-3 quarts of liquid rhythm and I’m an unstoppable ninja of jitterbug and jive. Whether it’s cranking that Soulja Boy or simply sliding electrically, one thing is Read more…

I know I haven’t updated in a while. I’ve been insanely busy the last couple of weeks (business is good) and just haven’t had time to write anything. Rest assured though, I’ve been bookmarking a few things to post about. And more importantly, the site I’m passing along in today’s Read more…

Violent, Tangled and Deeply Weird
Yesterday there was an interesting post on Boing Boing about the bizarrely icky mating practices of giant squids, and as one would expect, the URL was promptly forwarded to a few of my friends. Inspired by the post’s title, Den wrote back, “‘Violent, Tangled and Deeply Weird’ – I think Read more…
Look at my pinwheel and see what I’ve found
My friend Clare caused me great psychological distress today. I think I need therapy to re-repress the frightening childhood memories that she caused me to recall this evening. Here’s the scene: I am unwinding on the couch with my laptop after an exceedingly long day of handling mindbogglingly epic crises Read more…
Nostalgia Wednesday: Career Ambitions
Whoops! I didn’t get this photo up in time to make the usual “Nostalgia Tuesday” schedule. I apologize for that, my internets must have been clogged up. You can see here that at even at this young age I was well on my way to a fine career as a Read more…
