The death of an icon like Michael Jackson is one of those unifying events that reminds us how very much we have in common. I would defy you to find an American thirty-something who cannot remember the first time they saw Michael Jackson dance, scooting across the floor in a motion that we didn’t even [...]
Because I like irony or poetic justice or just bits of weird symmetry in my life, the marketing department at The Nerdery went to the very same Mexican restaurant today, on my last day, that we went to on my first day. It kind of happened by accident because none of us can make lunch [...]
I’ve been slowly picking through Watchmen since about September. I’d get so far in the book and then come to the poorly written autobiography stuff and stop. I’d pick it up a few weeks later and have to start all over from the beginning because I had no idea what was going on. During the [...]
If you lived inside of my head lately this is what you’d hear, “Grrrrrrrr. Blah. Suck. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Suck, hate, suck, suck hatey suck suck. Grrr. Suck it. Bite me. Suck suck.” I’ve been a joy to be around. So fucking cranky that I can’t even stand myself so I spend all my time avoiding thought [...]
It’s always weird when you cry over the death of someone famous. It’s not as if you knew them, bbut yet you still have an emotional connection. I don’t think I’ve done it too often. I remember a lot of celebrity deaths that really shook me up — Phil Hartman, Elliott Smith, Kurt Cobain — [...]
I am not sure what is worse, the day I had or the fact that I have a Paula Abdul song stuck in my head. The emotional rollercoaster that is Supergenius HQ is exhausting me. On a logical and rational level I know that Sister #3′s anger is not about me or caused by me. [...]
It seems to me that when monumental events happen in my life I can never find the words I need. Tonight Sister #3 and the Tibbles moved into Supergenius HQ. They needed a safe place to go and I’m the only one with the room to house them all. Everyone is safe and nobody’s hurt, [...]
When I went to bed last night I made a decision not to set my alarm. I haven’t been sleeping well and thought it would be good for me to sleep until I woke up. I use my cellphone as an alarm so when I made the decision not to set the alarm I didn’t [...]
powered by ODEO For February, FFJ and I read, or rather attempted to read C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters. It sucked. It sucked hard and it sucked long. It was really, very quite bad. But I suppose you’ll find that out of if you listen to the podcast. For March we promise to read something [...]
I like to make random, inane bets with most everyone I know. I got gambling in my blood. I once bet someone that I could say all the words to the movie “Almost Famous.” I didn’t win or lose, because we never got around to actually watching the movie together. But I did make the [...]
I have heard tales told that when some people need help getting the mojo rising or the juices flowing they follow their prurient interests to porn. Tonight I needed some help. Not with the bow-chikka-bow-bow, I took care of that yesterday ifyaknowwhatImean. Nope, I needed some emotional porn. Ever since I found out I was [...]
The worst part about finding out that I’m losing my job in a few months is that it has caused my ADD to go into hyperdrive. I have to keep apologizing to people while I’m speaking with them because I lose my train of thought mid-sentence. I’m lucky that the only people I’ve spoken with [...]
Remember how almost exactly one month ago I got a raise and promotion? Guess who got laid off today? It’s me! It’s me!
i made it my new year’s resolution to go out and see author’s read. i don’t think i’ve been to a reading since sweet rob read at the loft like a year ago. so, i made plans to go out tonight and see Pete Hautmann discuss his book Godless. but it was bone crackingly cold [...]
yeah, well today totally did not go how i planned it at all. not in the least. there are times in your life where you can convince yourself so wholly of something that you never even plan for the opposite to happen. today the opposite happened and it took me completely by surprise. so much [...]
