The cut on his finger came from a ninja sword
Worms are not bugs
His mom said he could stay at the park until it’s dark out
If he has caffeine he will die
Pirates always bury the hidden treasure at the bottom of the slide
Going home from the park makes him very angry
If I don’t push him high [...]
This is what my Wednesdays are like
This is your brain on ADD
It’s 1:16 p.m. and you sit down to a fine turkey sandwich for lunch. While eating your turkey sandwich you watch the latest Dawson’s Creek rerun and decide that after lunch you’re gonna clean the Fortress of Solitude that needs to be de-Tibbled. While eating lunch decide that you need a new printer because your [...]
Things that make me a little sad
1. Being dressed by 10 a.m.
2. Having to wait until tomorrow to listen to the ‘Mats reissues
3. The guilt I have for not wanting to get a job anytime soon
4. Al, the cutest girl on Earth™, moving to ND
D. fives
6. Missing the great MNSpeak outage and all the speculation therein
7. Having to make my own [...]
Bret Michaels has been replaced by my new love
You know, I thought I had it bad for the skanks and strippers that populated Rock of Love 2 but I was wrong. Those slutty women ain’t got nothing on Amanda from my new absolute favorite TV show The Paper. Amanda is, as I like to say, the bomb digs.
I can say with absolutely [...]
The Origins of Slaughterhouse Five
Steve Almond on the origin’s of Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five.
Denis Johnson on writing and drugs
“There isn’t one, necessarily. I mean, you can take drugs without writing and you can write without taking drugs. Personally, I think it’s a miracle I was able to become a writer at all after everything I took when I was younger.” He paused. “I think what I’m saying is, don’t do drugs if you’re [...]
Forever in love with those songs
There has been a lot of soul searching and raging debate at Supergenius HQ the past few days. Since I am no longer of the working class, I have been arguing with myself about whether to drop more than $50 on the new Replacements‘ reissues that are out tomorrow.
I reasoned with myself that I’ve [...]
Last night’s Rock and Roll Bookclub has drained me of all my brain cells, energy, and ambition. While I didn’t feel that drunk, it is pretty obvious to me that I am that hungover. Youch. My blood has been replaced with thick, sludge-like poison and a dead squirrel has taken up residence in my [...]
Three confessions on a Friday
1. I watch a lot of The N because they play Dawson’s Creek every morning at like 4. What I kinda dig about The N is that they play music videos between shows. At least I think they do. Whenever I watch a TIVO’d episode of Dawson’s Creek there are always videos tacked on to [...]
On making out and Blue Oyster Cult
If we had a nickel for how many times I’ve randomly shouted (both outloud and in my head) “Time to play B sides, time ain’t on my side, time I’ll never know” we could all go out for ice cream on me.
I suppose if you’re gonna have a Blue Oyster Cult song stuck in [...]
It’s Niles dumbasses
The hosebeasts on the Today Show keep referring to David Hyde Pierce’s character on “Frasier” as Miles. They did it about three times. Don’t they have researchers for this?
Charlie the Unicorn 2
The sequel you’ve all been waiting for. . . Charlie the Unicorn 2.
The Batman place, a brief talk with Nolan, age 4, who thought up this title & picked this picture
What are you doing? Liam asks.
Nolan is going to blog, I say. What do you want to tell people Nolan?
Be nice to Jaycie, he says. Be nice to Maxwell.
What are you doing today? I ask.
Ahh, we’re gonna fly kites and stuff, and have ice cream. First we are gonna fly kites.
What are you doing with [...]

Love,
Jodi
