OH MY GOD. just when i didn’t think i could love The Current anymore than i already do, they go and make my love grow. i did not think my heart was capable of holding so much love towards something that didn’t come from the body of one of my sisters and call me aunt [...]

how much you wanna bet that Dick Weber’s death is recognized by a moment of silence at bowling on Friday night? those old guys just loved ol’ dick. they even had like a dick weber scholarship donation night and stuff. and even though i can feel the flames of hell licking at my ass for [...]

i’d should totally be taping The Current’s SchmoopFest-Song-a-thon from the radio right now. And i would be taping it if i could find some sort of old cassette. so far what i’ve heard (between breaks from “That 70s Show” [which has, incidentally, made me believe that the only way to watch TV shows is all [...]

presented in no particular order, songs guaranteed to make me (and in my opinion anyone with a heart) swoon:
1. born for me, paul westerberg

3. god only knows, the beach boys
4. i’m gonna make you love me, the jayhawks
-. ring of fire, johnny cash
6. nightswimming, R.E.M.
7. dance me [...]

darling ones, clearly you are flooding my inbox with valentine’s greetings and schmoopy sentiments of schmoopiness to make my valentine’s day so damn special. at least that’s the only reason i can think of that is making gmail be such a slutty bitch when i need her the most.

another reason to love Martin Zellar, he heads up the Mower County DFL.

it’s valentine’s day. my most-favorite holiday of them all. sure, sure i know everyone calls it a made-up hallmark holiday. but, as much as i want to deny it and be a bitter jaded harpie, i am a big schmoopy romantic. i’d say deep deep down under all my bitter crustiness. but that’d be a [...]

i love my writing group. but today group was cancelled and i couldn’t be happier. in week that’s had me busy every night, it’s nice to finally get some time to myself. i thought about grocery shopping and cleaning up this toxic waste dump. instead though i decided to give myself an early valentine’s gift. [...]

Arthur Miller has died, and somehow this is making me just about as sad as when i read the play “Death of a Salesman” and Willy Loman died.
oddly enough, Miller’s most famous play was not the Miller play i read first. when i was a junior in high school we had to read “The [...]

1. don’t come over to me and ask for help and then while i am helping you point to the picture of st. paul westerberg that’s hanging on my wall and say “what’s up with that fucking joker? why does he keep hiding his voice in his new stuff.” because if you do i will [...]

• valentine’s day is monday, i expect gifts. flowers, cards, chocolates, books, any of these will do. or a yellow party monkey, from target. i really want one of them.
• i’m really so fucking busy this week that i don’t even time to poop, much less to make out my homemade valentines.
• i’m so busy [...]

dear AC Newman,
we here at supergenius headquarters regret to inform you of your recent slide from the top of the Imaginary Boyfriend List (IBL). for quite a long time you were our most favorite rock and roller, made even more special because of your absolutely wonderful orangey red hair (and you know how we love [...]

first of all, have i mentioned lately how much i dislike the music of nick cave? they keep playing him on the radio and i just want to hacchhkk ptewie all over the place.
second of all, in honor of the upcoming greenbag starburst jellybeans season i have decided to get my addictive personality in shape [...]

i’ve been really quite quiet today. partner’s at home sick and well, i have a buttload of work to do. swamped with things to do but not quite overwhelmed. it’s kind of how i like my professional life to be. it’s nice to some degree, considering i sat around counting my eyelashes for two months.
well, [...]

so i’m at sister #2’s at the moment babysitting. well, technically i am babysitting. it’s more sitting than anything, because the kidlings have to go to bed at 8 p.m. on school nights and mostly i’m just working on this proposal thing and doing my laundry.
but, i just had to tell you if you get [...]
