Powerball!

I’m positive that one of the surest measures of life (dis)satisfaction has to be the amount of time one spends thinking about winning the lottery. Every day on my way home from work I pass a billboard advertising Powerball. And I have to say that my productivity in that grey cubicle is being severely impacted […]

Awkward Improv

Super awkward moment at Improv class last night. Let me set the stage: We are being taught by this really nice, knowledgeable, and funny guy named John*. John’s a medium-set blond guy with a shaved head. He’s a really helpful, positive personality who knows how to correct you without making you feel stupid, but also […]

Funny Things I Found on Craigslist

Here’s a post I found in the Rants and Raves section of Craigslist (which, as you might expect, is a bizarre and stupid political screamfest wasteland):
Liberals - Be Thankful I’m a Jesus Freak
I know how Liberals and you R&R people HATE Christians. Just be Thankful I believe in God, and believe I will have to […]

Hair Loss Buddhism

There will come a day, and that day seems to be rapidly approaching, when I will bid farewell to the hair on the top of my head. (Incidentally, the hair on the other 95% of my body doesn’t seem to be going anywhere). I confidently intend to rip the band-aid off all at once with […]

Hanging out with other people’s families reminds me that things could be so much worse. Damn, that […]

Skype

Just got off a Skype call with Scott and Caitlin. It was so good to see their faces! The internet connection they have almost ruins it, but not quite.
Everyone in the Universe should get Skype. It’s the next best thing to being there in person. Head and shoulders above the telephone, anyhow.

Living with Desi

My roommate Desiree and I have been living together for about 4 months now. I have to say one of the greatest pleasures of living with her is that she hasn’t been exposed to nearly the amount of pop culture that I have. I introduced her to The Daily Show, which we now watch regularly. […]

Torrential!

Oh my god! I’ve just witnessed the most intense outburst of weather I’ve ever seen. It was just drizzling a little bit, and in the space of literally 1 second, it went from a few raindrops to the heaviest rain I’ve ever seen in my entire life. COMPLETELY instantaneous and without warning. Branches were being […]
