Oculular Traumacide

Phil | February 27, 2009

Sometimes I forget that I wear glasses. Like when I’m walking and carrying my messenger bag plus an additional bag full of materials and papers for clinic plus a jacket in case it rains plus my empty lunch container, and then I try to set things down when I get to my car but realize [...]

Focused

Phil | February 23, 2009

Graduate school is one of those things that even though we all choose to be there and love it, we still love to hate it and complain about how much work there is to do. Especially those of us on the speech pathology track, what with our classes and our clinics and whatnot, and our [...]

It’s the lips that really make all the difference

Phil | February 20, 2009

In my previous post, I alluded to the fact that ‘newness’ was going on. If you happened to click over and see what I meant, you got a pretty good idea. I’ve invested in a new url and a new image entirely. It’s been a long time coming, really. I grew weary of having my [...]

Inaugural Video Warp!

Phil | February 18, 2009

1. Wait, what’s going on here? Newness, that’s what!
2. It’s 20sb Vlog Day!
3. There’s rules to follow. Something about love.
4. I’m not very good at following rules.
5. This required more coordination than I anticipated.
6. It was also an intense workout, surprisingly enough.
7. At least for the one arm on camera.
8. Smile! You might see my [...]

Dar for the win!

If Charles Darwin was still alive, he would be 200 years old today. Who knew that even more than a century after his death, the man could still incite the wrath of people who reject his theory of change over time whilst still being enamored by Puggles?
Despite my Jewish upbringing, I largely discounted the whole [...]

Oh, Fudgcical!

If I recall correctly that famous saying known as Murphy’s Law, it’s something to the effect that “If anything can go wrong, rest assured that not only will it go wrong wrong, it will bitch slap you and then stuff your head into the toilet for the biggest fucking swirlie of your entire life.” Which [...]

More noms than Stouffers will get, like, ever.

This is what happens when I get it in my head that I want to cook more: I go to IKEA, buy fabulous new cookware, including a new chef knife, then hit the store and stock up on tons of food, break out a new lasagna recipe I’ve never tried, spend two hours cooking in [...]

Homo Domesticus

Phil | February 5, 2009

I had a revelation tonight. It occurred to me after I got off work around nine, then headed off to Target. I was in desperate need of bar soap, and had every intention of buying only that which I needed. That would be bar soap. Easy to remember, easy to check off the list that [...]

Rant and Roll

Phil | February 4, 2009

I can’t help but love that Yahoo!Answers can serve as a forum to help confused teenagers really work things out. It’s just so cute.

So, wow, what a question, right? How DO you suddenly turn gay if you like the Jonas Brothers? I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I actually agree with some of the [...]
