weddings

Even though I am completely disenchanted with the whole marriage thing, personally, I love going to weddings. It’s actually great I am now at the point in my life where I will be invited to weddings constantly. Okay, there’s the whole output of money for the present and possibly buying new clothes (great excuse), but [...]

changing

I sent myself a FutureMail about six months ago, which I received the other day. In it, I mentioned two things I hoped would be different, and neither is. Is six months not enough time for change? I suck at change, actually. It’s something I need to work on.

superficial

I have only a superficial understanding of the following things, and I admit it. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict Stocks Rocket science Brain surgery How cars work Cricket (the game) Current foreign policy I’d really like to know more about how cars work.

priorities

Once the moving is over, my priorities fall in the following order: Make sure the internets are working. Make sure TiVo is working. Unpack boxes. And I’m leaving #3 for tomorrow.

and everyone we know

I just got back from seeing Me and You and Everyone We Know, which is the director’s, Miranda July, debut (as well as for writing and acting). It has scored well on Metacritic, and the Cinecast guys liked it, so I figured I’d take a chance. It’s quirky, different (very rare for movies these days), [...]

bte

I’ve decided to divulge the following secret: I have been listening to Better Than Ezra pretty much constantly lately. Yeah, they’re B-list mid-90s pop/alt-rock, but it’s addicting. My drugs of choice are Greatest Hits and Before These Robots (the new one). Top five-ish BTE songs for me: 1. At the Stars, 2. A Lifetime, 3. [...]

Absorbent and yellow and porous is he!

I wore a Spongebob Squarepants Band-Aid on my arm all day today, and nobody noticed.

pretend

The other night, Stacey and I talked about junior prom versus senior prom, and how much better senior prom was. This got me to thinking, because junior prom is one of those things I like to pretend never happened. It’s not about regrets, really, but there are just some things I don’t think about a [...]

home equity

Dear Bank of America, Over the past several months, I have received numerous offers from you in the mail, most of which have been for home equity loans. I don’t own a home, arguably a prerequisite for a home equity loan, and I’m going to go out on a limb here and say I therefore [...]
