So I’m getting cable TV complete with DVR today. Despite my calm facade I’m really most excited about this. I lost all TV access like a week or so ago, because despite what DirecTV told Sister #4 about three free months and warning her before they cancel the account, they just shut her off and [...]

I’m having entirey too much fun with the concert ticket generator [via}

You know the drill:

B. Tell me who is to blame for the inkspot question mark
C. Just an old friend coming over to visit you, that’s what I’ve become
D. All my life I’ve been slow and [...]

earlier this week, kottke linked to the 50 best book to film adaptations, then today i noticed he marked which ones he’d seen and/or watched.
so i did it too.
incidentally, i must note that the list doesn’t include “The World According to Garp,” “Secretary,” “High Fidelity” or “In the Bedroom.” which i would say are [...]

if you are ever lucky enough to meet my friend Kelly you will learn that she’s totally irresistible. she’s just one of those people you want to say yes to. that’s mostly because her demands are totally fun, like drink beer and stuff. so there’s that to keep in mind.

i am digging this bad plus author/music meme more than you can even imagine.

i think i might have done this once before, but you know? who couldn’t use more musical goodness from supergenius headquarters?
1. The person (or persons) who passed the baton to you.

yeah, so it’s obvious that i’m totally and utterly in love with flickr.

tam laid down the challenge, far be it for me to disappoint. and besides i’m entirely too lazy to write about the actual reading that spawned the HUG FELT ROUND THE WORLD.
1. Total amount of music files on your computer:
according to iTunes there are 2673 songs weighing in at 11.59 GB that would take me [...]

happy new year darling ones! if you’re like me you’re kinda glad that 2004 is over. it wasn’t a bad year really, just one of upheaval. i’m thinking that maybe i only dig odd-numbered years. 2005 promises to be the most challenging year of my life that i can remember in quite sometime. with the [...]

it probably was not a good idea to ingest a medium mint condition from caribou at 6:30 tonight. but if sister #2 is kind enough to bring it the bowling alley for me, who am i to object? i mean really, that’d just been rude.
i was at the bowling alley because i had dinner with [...]

come on, i’m coming off the plague and dainec’s sick and she did it. so there.

so dana has a fun, fun, fun request and it could prove funny. we’ll see.
