I’ve checked off yet another item on my list of things to do before I die. Turns out I didn’t really know it was on there, and had I known ahead of time that I would get to do it, I probably would have used good judgment and chickened the fuck out. Be that as [...]

I went swimming today. Not an earth-shattering activity, unless you happen to be the one whose muscles are currently only barely working right now. It’s been probably a year or so since I actually had a good swimming workout, which is saying something, given that it’s generally my preferred form of exercise.
I was very excited [...]

I went to the grocery tonight for two things: juice and disposable aluminum mini bread pans. I walked out with both those items, but also some fresh cherries and, of all things, a newspaper subscription.
You know the rule that you’re never supposed to go grocery shopping on an empty stomach? Little did I know that [...]

Guitar Hero is officially kicking my ass right now. I’m currently on the “advanced” level, and all was going well. The other day I used my gig money to purchase Slash and then opted to use him as my lead guitarist. Then, tonight, I wind up in a guitar battle against Slash! I battled Slash [...]

I went to the movie theater today, for the first time since I moved here in January. I picked a good time to go, apparently. And all thanks to the ruggedly handsome character by the name of Indiana Jones, whose nerdiness and fondness for archaeology act as a serious bonus to his overall persona. And [...]

Step aside, Jenny Craig. Weight Watchers, you too. I lost ten pounds in one day. All by getting a haircut. The last week has proven to me exactly why long hair will never work for me; ergo I could never make it as a hair metal rock star. Because what happens when my hair gets [...]

I spent nearly an hour today talking to my roommate’s partner. It was pretty much the best hour of my entire week. Over the course of our conversation, it suddenly became clear that my experience living in this place was not Hell, or any of its seven circles. Nay, it was more like Purgatory.
It turns [...]

My friend Renee likes to write letters to life’s editors. I was inspired to write tonight, and writing letters seemed so perfect I had to steal her idea, only in the form of love letters.
The Good
Dear Togo’s,
You came into my life at the exact moment I needed you most. There I was, driving around, pangs [...]

I’ve been surprised at how much work I’ve actually had to do this week, even though I’m on break. My way of handling said work is to goof off all day and luxuriate in the total “lack” of responsibility, and then realize at about 11pm that I have a whole bunch of things I need [...]

I”m currently on break. Which means that, while I don’t have to study at the moment, I have to figure out how to arrange everything so I can get back into another glorious semester of school. Because that’s all boring and uninteresting, here’s a list, in no particular order, of things currently taking up my [...]
