The Great One

I walked in the door around 7 o’clock Monday. It had been a long, stressful day of moving out of my school apartment.
As with every homecoming, Gretzky trotted over to me, tail hiked high in the air with happiness. When I bent down to pet him, I immediately noticed something was wrong.
My family said he [...]

Stop sippin’ that Haterade, New York Times.

You know what I realized while scanning the news today? In the world of media and marketing, we are all a bunch of haters.
It began while reading this — Joe Nocera’s new NY Times business blog. In his July 14 entry, he spends 586 words berating a PR professional for sending him a not-so-newsworthy pitch.
This [...]

Free doughnuts make any day better.

I knew it was going to be a good day when I almost missed work… because I woke up half-drunk. (Editor’s sidenote: I’m not proud of myself. These are just the facts, people.) Once I finally got to the office, things began to look up when I discovered that one of my coworkers brought in [...]

BREAKING NEWS: No one cares what’s on my to-do list

Do you ever find that the Internet is sort of… well… overwhelming? (Megan aka the “Webmaster Supreme” probably knows what I mean.) I feel like an 70-year-old saying this, but with so many sites, blogs, social networking profiles and favorites to keep track of, a new form of neuroses has erupted within me.
Before, not being [...]

Highlight of my day: mustaches?

The high point of work today was when I found out that there is, indeed, an American Mustache Institute. The Institute’s mission is “Protecting the rights of, and fighting discrimination against, mustached Americans by promoting the growth, care and culture of the mustache.”
Well praise Jesus. How did we ever survive without this vital humanitarian organization?!
Please [...]

I’m kind of boring today.

Today is a very Monday-ish Monday.

My new piano keyboard has a “whammy bar”. That makes me feel like a rockstar. Also, there is an applause button. Rockstar again.

My friend Jess introduced me to a song called “Oxford Comma” by Vampire Weekend today. This song is awesome on a few levels. First, it’s named after [...]

Much-anticipated (by me) John Mayer photos

So pops and I went to the JM concert last night. Colbie Callait was one of the opening acts, and she was a total snoozefest except for her cover of the Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back.” Let’s just say she was way more entertaining when I saw her downtown this past May, wasted at [...]

Country correction…

Though Kenny Chesney may be a musical crap factory, it’s not because he’s married to Nicole Kidman. Apparently that honor belongs to Mr. Keith Urban, as brought to my attention by my country-loving roommate. My bad — guess country hats confuse me.
Enough with the country chatter, I’m off to the JOHN MAYER concert now. Obviously [...]

Three things I learned at work today:

There is, in fact, a CliffsNotes version of the Bible. Complete with clickable summaries on every book, psalm and chapter. (That would have made Sunday School a lot easier.)
According to my coworker Kevin, Kenny Chesney is a “crap factory,” and not just because he’s married to Nicole Kidman.
Session beer – (noun) The classy way of [...]

Fuck. My. Life.

Upon receiving a Facebook bumper sticker from Megan saying, “Life would be easier if we were gay.”
Me: “Life would be easier if we were gay! We’d both be getting laid right now. And eating bacon afterwards.”
Megan: “You know the way to my heart… attack.”
Megan: “I really wanna play with a Tamagotchi right now.”
Things are getting [...]
