lost weekend
I was sitting here just now, gazing out the window at the misty morning as I sipped piping hot joe from an oversized cup, wondering where the hell the weekend went already. Last week was like drowning for five days straight, smothered in a sea of dumbassery (special thanks to Charlie Pierce for my new… Read.

trading liberty NOT
There’s one trope zipping around out there at the moment in connection with the current storm over phone records and data mining that makes me a little bit crazy – and that is the discussion of whether or not the American people will “trade off” civil liberties for what is really merely a sense of… Read.

Oolong
This is Oolong the rabbit, who was apparently an internet meme about ten years ago. Ten years ago I hadn’t even heard of internet memes. I have so much catching up to do that I’d never be able to catch up if I could afford to make it my full-time job. I’m pretty sure this… Read.

worse worser worsest
I’m up in the middle of the night because I can’t stop thinking about work. Is there a worst-case case of insomnia worse than that? No. No, there’s not. You can’t make me believe there is. I won’t listen. When I woke up, I promised myself I wasn’t going to look at the clock. This… Read.

shirt sleeves
Yesterday was the first time this year that I was able to ride my bicycle to work in shirt sleeves, and, it has to be said, they were short sleeves. It was about sixty degrees, a little on the cool side of comfortable for me, but the sun was out and I warmed myself up… Read.

trash day
Trash day. Gotta remember to put out the recycling, too. Am I the only one who thinks that the garbage truck and the recycling truck both end up in the same place? I said that once to one of my coworkers, who was horrified at the thought. She apparently never doubted that the guys who… Read.

goddamn laundry hamper 3
It’s Day 3 of Goddamn Laundry Hamper Week and, as you can see, the damned thing is nowhere near empty even though I’ve washed three extra-large loads and a regular load of clothes that I pulled from it last weekend, so I’m definitely not crazy and these pictures prove the goddamn laundry hamper can refill… Read.
