It’s nearly 11 a.m. and I’ve already eaten half the lunch I brought to work. It’s all Sister #4’s fault.
She’s finished working and is spending the week getting ready for the big move to Udaho (6 days!). This means she’s at home in the morning before I go to work, and this is seriously fucking [...]

As the Stink, Sister #2, Sister #3, and I were driving to the Acme Comedy Club (to celebrate Jodi Hanson’s, unofficial Sister #5, birthday) we got on the subject of how I was haughty. Apparently making fun of a shitty, shitty Chinese buffet restaurant in Champlin makes a person haughty.
“I’m Haughty Melodic,” I said.
Sister [...]

* The credit for the awesome title of this post goes to Aden, there has been no better title for a review of Clerks 2 that I have seen.
There aren’t many movies I’m willing to go see in at the movie theater. 2+hour movies + my ADD = a bad time. So it’s only very [...]

Sister #4 is at a Saints game with Amandahugnnkiss, and the livingroom is lit by the glow of Jed and an A Different World re-run (it’s now on Nick@Nite which is about the best thing to happen to me). I’m wearing my favorite orange t-shirt and the most comfortable jeans I own.
This should be [...]

So I’m wondering what color to paint the master bedroom. So uh, what color is your bedroom? Why did you choose that color?

The list of 111 Wussiest Songs that the Largehearted Boy called out today had me alternately laughing my head off and gasping in horror while clutching my chest in the manner of the most offended.
The most offensive? Ye Olde ‘Mats “Skyway” coming in at #93. Clearly whoever made this list has never suffered through [...]

Instead of getting dressed for work, I have chosen to sit here listening to acappella versions of Living on a Prayer (which makes me giggle, because acappella guitar sounds are funny), Come On! Feel The Illinoise! (which left me in awe), and Wrapped up in Books. I think I made the right decision.

Robin diid this a few days ago and I’ve been thinking about it ever since.
The rules:
Step 1: Get your playlist together, put it on random, and play.
Step 2: Write down the first line from the first 10 songs that play or close to it. (Okay, this is proving harder than expected considering that the first [...]

A long time ago when BFK and I worked for the same company, she outed my website to my Evil Coworker. It wasn’t a total outing because my coworkers all knew about iwilldare.com, but none of them read it. However, the day BFK decided to bring up iwilldare.com in casual conversation was also the same [...]

Can we talk a bit about the utter wonderfulness of Liz Phair’s second album Whip-Smart? I love this album. I can’t say that I love it more than Exile in Guyville, because there is a lot of my coming of age wrapped up in that one. But there just seems to be no love for [...]

• Rock and Roll class featuring guest lecturer Grant Hart from Husker Du
• How only old people go to record stores
• Max and his plans for Nolie’s Motion Picture I-IV
• Dancing about architecture and writing about music
• On sisters and debriefing
• that is all

Maybe it was the way the covers fell across my body, or perhaps it was the way my hand was tucked under my head. As I closed my eyes tonight, the image was there and so real that by the time I rolled over to try to erase the memory from my head I knew [...]

Aziz Ansari is forced to carry around a boombox playing the world’s shittiest mixtape. What should be on the shittiest mixtape?

Come over to my desk to help me with an annoying computer problem. While being the knight in shining armor ask, “is that Mike Doughty?” referring to the music issuing forth from the headphones wrapped around my neck. That’s all it takes, I’m that easy.

It’s roughly 900 degrees outside, and it has been that hot for like a week. Welcome to the arctic tundra. Anyway, I’m sitting in the office here working my ass off and shivering.
Working my ass off. I just need to reiterate that. It’s the roof is on fire time of the year, with freakouts happening [...]
