Car drama today. Well, not really drama. I was just trying to build some excitement and anticipation for you, Dear Reader. Got to Radford (eg the studio), and some people (WERE THEY NICE?) notified me that my right back tire was low. Really low, practically flat. (OH NO) I proceeded to look in the trunk [...]

That’s right, folks. Today is July 27, 2007. 7/27/07. I am turning 27 years old today. In addition, as I pulled up to the studio, the mileage on the Tiger car turned to… 177,777. Pretty righteous, no?
You’ll notice the headline was not “Coldplay Rocks Indonesia.” Three guesses why. Shall we: Rename the Richter Scale the Geological Scale of Terror? Seems so fitting with the times. We could also label car engines this way. Global Warming Scale of Terror Level Voldemort: People with their own planes Global Warming Scale of Terror Level [...]
1. Lindsay Lohan- now, I think everyone is asking the same question- why doesn’t she just hire a driver. So I figure it must be a convoluted publicity stunt designed to make her into An Adult ala Drew Barrymore. The Lohan DUIs have become another reason to avoid reading blog comments- a. Harry Potter spoilers [...]
Today they were playing disco in the weight room at Virginia Tech. Can you think of anything more horrible? Well, probably. It was another beautiful day though, so after returning from my strenuous endeavors I decided to run errands. I once again opened the sunroof and let my fine musical choices peal resoundingly throughout the [...]
I bravely set out on a beautiful 70 degree morning, sunroof open, blasting some contemporary latin hits. The sound rolled grandly across the sleeping town. I proceeded up North Main to the donut place in a converted gas station- the old-school kind with spanish tile roofs. (I LIKE DONUTS FOR BREAKFAST) It turned out that [...]
So here we are at the Barnes and Noble in Christiansburg, VA… OK not really.
Crazy high driving fines here in Jolly Old Virginia: Under the law, which took effect July 1, the new civil penalty for driving 20 miles an hour or more over the speed limit, a violation defined by the state as reckless driving, will be $1,050. First-time drunken drivers will face a civil penalty of $2,250. [...]
“A good sangria has a Cognac base,” he says. “It needs a little strongness for the body.” To that end, in a small copper skillet, he heats some Hennessy Cognac, along with two kinds of añejo tequila — El Tesoro de Don Felipe and Sauza Tres Generaciones Cazadores. They don’t call him bar chef for [...]
I was looking at my copy of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and I realized that I totallly do not like Mary Grand Pre’s Illustrations. I think they are just aggressively American in a charmless way. Soft Geometry. Bah. Bah. Ok, maybe charmless is a little harsh. And from a totally unbiased [...]
Sample Conversation Re: He Shot Her Face Off And Killed Her Mama
Published July 17th, 2007 in Daily. 0 CommentsIt was one of those days where absolutely every last person I encountered was completely insane. At the grocery store: (mumble mumble) Bagger: …those people who lose the use of their face. Checkout Girl: No, I didn’t mean her. This was a black lady. Her husband shot her face off and killed her mama. But [...]
I seldom go to Starbucks. Not just because it is the cockroach of civilization but since it’s not on my way to either work or school. And then there’s the Existential Loneliness. But this morning the Little Lady turned on the coffee at 5:45 AM or some godforsaken hour, and then she had finished the [...]
Books About Animals Are Popular Among Freaks and Shut-Ins
Published July 16th, 2007 in Daily. 0 CommentsFrom the New York Times: Why do people love books about animals? Because they are pathetic, apparently: Mr. Katz, an upstate New York writer who has published six increasingly popular nonfiction books about dogs since 2001, says he thinks he knows exactly what’s going on. “Americans have become existentially lonely,†he says. “We’re disconnected from [...]
I am a notorious packrat, or rather, I am notorious for collecting cool junk. Here is example 57million: Some kind soul left this thing on the “free stuff” table at work. Kick ass! The best thing about having a painting studio that isn’t also the livingroom is that you can fill it with your secondhand [...]
That’s right, Dear Reader. We braved the crowds of loony toons and watched Harry Potter 5 on the first day it was showing. Or are we crazy and obsessed ourselves? Or did we just want to provide you with this Coveted Review? You be the judge. The Good – I loved the scene where they [...]
