I’ve been a bit down in the dumps lately. It’s January and I’m a Minnesotan. I’m legally required to be down in the dumps at this time of year.
Since I’ve been so sad and insecure and nearly descending into the pits of the mean reds, I decided to pull out some old favorites today [...]

Today marks the second anniversary of the second best thing to ever happen to me musically. Two years ago today 89.3 The Current was unleashed on the airwaves.
Though I am not nearly as giddy in love as I was in the beginning. I still love The Current, only with much more maturity.
I [...]

My eyes started watering before George W. even opened his mouth, and I totally lost it when he said “Thank You Madam Speaker.” Totally lost it. I tried to laugh at myself and ended up just kind of sobbing in a weird sort of glee. Madam Speaker. This is not unusual behavior for me. As [...]

The Onion’s AV Club places odds on certain bands getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Replacements get 6-1 odds, Husker Du only gets 25-1. [via]

It’s probably not a good idea to go driving in the rain while you’re ovulating
The line ‘all I wanna do is make love to you’ will work on lonely boys in the rain, but chances are it will scare off every other man on the planet
If you’re gonna use a lonely hitchhiker to make a [...]

Sometimes I drink my tea like I’m a robot while singing in my head “domo arragato mister roboto” because it’s fun and sometimes you need to do that to keep your brain from flatlining while at work.
Also the fingers of my right hand smell like onions.

As anyone who has read this site for any amount of time knows, I have a mad-crazy skatepunk fetish. Mad. Crazy. It’s all part of this weird koo-koo-ka-choo Mrs. Robinson thing I’ve got going on (In fact my freind ChiliD is always teasing me about the fact that he can never tell if he’s too [...]

There are nights where I cannot be your support system, your sounding board, or your amusement. There are nights where I just need to be alone with myself and not communicate with anyone. Sometimes the neediness of people that I know is too hot and heavy for me to bear. It itches and makes me [...]

For those of you already worrying about Operation Maneater’s success, have no fear there is a plan. First of all, I’m calling it Operation Maneater because “Maneater” is my favorite Hall & Oates song and has nothing to do with the love of money or being tamed by the purr of a Jaguar. However, I [...]

For some reason the University of Phoenix’s commercials that use The New Pornographer’s “The Bleeding Heart Show” bug me endlessly. However, it’s not as ridiculous as when Outback Steakhouse used Of Montreal’s “Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games.”

“Write about this early.” Kelly popped her head back into Ruby before slamming the door.
“Are you kidding? I’m gonna blahg this as soon as I get home,” I said.
Here’s the deal. Kelly and I are on the hunt. We’ve decided that sitting at home in our pajamas chatting with each other is probably not the [...]

So I had a horrible dream. Details follow so if you hate these kinds of posts, you have been warned.

“I’m going to give you an eight dollar tip,” Premium Wood said, signing his credit card slip.
“Okay,” I said. “Thank you.”
“This way you can tell everyone you got ate tonight.” He cracked up laughing at his own joke.
“Thank you for caring about my sexual well-being,” I said.
“Did you just thank him for caring about your [...]

When I brought my lunch money over to H. (which is really what I call her even though her name is Heather), nobody was around. So I decided to march down to her office like a soldier from the Nutcracker, or at least what I thought was a soldier from the Nutcracker. As I was [...]

It should come as no surprise that my all-time favorite song in the history of songs is “I Will Dare” by The Replacements. I love this song with a passion that borders on creeping me the hell out. I hear that opening jangly guitar bit and my heart immediately starts to smile. Seriously. I can [...]
