I am about to jump out of my skin. Luckily a friend called me and invited me to watch election coverage at a nearby coffee shop. So I get to be all antsy and tense around a bunch of other antsy and tense people. GO OBAMA!!!!! […]

Didja vote? Didja? I did. I wandered over to my polling place a few minutes ago. It makes me feel sort of fuzzy inside. And I really feel like it’s the duty of every American to vote. I wish more people would. Anyway, I’m feeling strangely optimistic about this whole thing. Which worries me. But […]
I couldn’t find a book. So I’ve been writing and rewriting a rant for like an hour. It’s about religion, which is why it’s taking so long. I’ll skip posting it. I’m bored with it already. Long story short: Christianity is an awesome thing. A lot of people professing to be Christians are not. It […]
Happy Halloween, kiddies. I’m not dressing up this year. I’ll leave that to my furry pal to the left (my dad’s adorable Vizsla, Kenai). I’m just going to lay low for the night. I got a couple of party invites but I don’t think I have it in me this year. Instead I might just […]
Hm. Michelle Bachmann’s obviously running scared. I just saw her very first campaign ad tonight (from a show I taped on Sunday). Apparently she’s “Standing Up for Minnesota”. Maybe she should think about sitting down and shutting the fuck up. I don’t think the majority of Minnesota wants her doing anything for this state ever […]
About a week ago, my router went haywire and it took a complete reset to get my internet up and running again. Of course I had completely forgotten how I set it up in the first place so even though I thought I was doing it right, every time I tried to restrict access to […]
So I know I’ve mentioned my new favorite TV show, Life, at least once or twice. And have hopefully convinced several people to watch it (like… okay, my mom). But I have yet to mention how brilliant the music person on there is. Where else can you get episodes with Camper, X, Morphine (aw… Sandman), […]
You know, I said I wouldn’t talk about politics anymore. And this isn’t really politics. It’s just the sad reality of this election and what it’s bringing out in people. How quickly this nation has descended into racist rhetoric. I always knew that racism ran rampant throughout America. Can’t deny that. And it’s everywhere. North, […]
So after going to bed around 4 am this morning, my phone started ringing at 8:30 am. Then moments later my doorbell started buzzing. Since I have to run to the front door to answer it (I can’t buzz people in or anything) I had to blindly find a pair of shorts, make sure I […]
You know what? It’s my damn birthday this weekend. So I am not working for the rest of the week. Cleaning? Okay. Working on this site? Yeah, okay. Answering emergency requests from my most favorite clients? Well… sure. But other than that! Done. As of right now. And I am pretty happy about that. This […]
Oh lord. I have been remiss in posting this as off late. But I will renew my complete adoration of The Unit. It is currently my favorite television show of them all. And why do I not quote it? Because I would have to write the whole friggin’ transcript. It is brilliant. I’ve been watching […]
Usually it’s nice and quiet in my building on Friday nights but currently my upstairs neighbor is playing WoW or something and it is unbelievably loud. As if his playing of U2 and Ryan Adams incessantly wasn’t annoying enough. Ah well. I’m sure he’s a nice guy. Like the majority of my neighbors I’ve never […]
You want to know the real reason I’m voting for Obama? Because he uses Gotham in his campaign. My vote will be swayed by typefaces. To be honest, I’ve been obsessed with Gotham for way too many years. It is just truly beautiful. One of these days I’m going to get back to creating fonts. […]
I would love to chat about politics but am trying to refrain from doing so (unsuccessfully apparently). The Republican ticket seems to be tanking any shred of credibility. Whether or not they get elected (and I fear they will be—and have felt that way for many months) I have a really sinking feeling about the […]
So I’m just putting this out there in the ether. Because if one person reads it and is helped, I’ve done my good deed for the day. I upgraded to the new iTunes 8 a week or so ago. And after I did, trying to download free episodes from the iTunes store stopped working completely. […]
Well I watched the Emmys tonight. What a suckfest. Dear lord. However! Zeljko Ivanek got one for Damages. Yay! And he thanked Tom Fontana in his acceptance speech. If I ever accept an award for anything, I think I might thank Tom Fontana. Just because. […]
Thoughts: 1. I’m watching Clear and Present Danger. I love this movie. 2. I used to have some incredibly beautiful scars running up and down my legs. A legacy of playground dust-ups childhood mayhem. I thought scars stuck around for life. But they’re all gone. The only ones I have left are around my eye: […]
Gram Parson died 35 years ago today. Strangely enough, I was watching Gimme Shelter last weekend, which my first exposure to Parsons. When I was 12 my stepfather at the time sat me down and we watched the documentary. He was a lot more excited about explaining who the Flying Burrito Brothers were than about […]
I went out to dinner with moms tonight. She was craving a burger so we went to some chain that was supposed to have good burgers. And they did. But that’s neither here nor there. When we were done eating, we got up to leave and for some reason I stepped wrong on my shoe, […]
Sunday Odds and/or Ends. Dreary day today in the cities. I spent it working on a bunch of miscellany I wanted to get done before the week starts. I’m planning on focusing on one client for the entire week, and needed to make sure I wasn’t leaving any client tasks hanging out there. I think […]
