Saturday, November 15th, 2008All right, people. We just returned from dinner at the truly awesome Marie’s Pizza & Lounge, and color me impressed. The food was average, but the drinks were insanely cheap and the atmosphere, my god, the atmosphere … (You’ll note the liquor store on the left; it occupies as much space, if not more, than [...]
shout out
Friday, November 14th, 2008I have now officially lost count of how many times I’ve left the house in the morning thinking, “Jesus Christ, those bananas are looking bad,” and come home the same day thinking “HOLY FUCK BANANA BREAD FTW.” I married well, people. This bud’s for you, Tiny E.

Thursday, November 13th, 2008My esteemed colleague Emily just sent me the following link. It’s a bunch of pictures of Swedish Dance Bands from what appear the ’70s. If the pants in this picture — and particularly those of the guy on the right — don’t compel you to click through, you really probably shouldn’t, as clearly you are [...]
linkity link link liiiiiinks
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008Look, nobody said NaBloPoMo was gonna be easy. I tried it last year, which I only just now remembered I’d done because I looked back through the archives and saw 30 days’ worth of entries, and only managed to succeed by repeatedly backdating posts, which I admitted at the time with much self-flagellating. November 2007 [...]
news & notes
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008My esteemed colleague Jon sent me a link to this story: Apparently the Sapulpa Daily Herald, based out of the selfsame western semi-suburb of Tulsa, kind of didn’t think it was that big a deal that the United States elected its first black president. The story is here, but I want you to take a [...]

Monday, November 10th, 2008I don’t know if their motivation for posting these things goes beyond “Hmmm, this would be fun,” but whatever the reason, I have thoroughly enjoyed the following photo gallery of questionable fashions of the last four decades or so. Among other things, the question I keep coming back to is “Where the fuck did they [...]
please disperse, nothing to see here
Sunday, November 9th, 2008Nothing too lengthy today, but OMG THIS NICE OLD LADY HAD BEEN LIVING WITH THE CORPSES OF HER BROTHER AND SISTERS FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS. This is the kind of thing that only population density can bring you. Shit like this happens all around the country, but with 12 million people crammed into a [...]
killing me
Saturday, November 8th, 2008So I’ve discovered that if you take advantage of the feature on this page that lets you open up the puppy-cam in a pop-up window? And leave it open throughout your work day? You never get a single work-related thing done unless your work is squeaking like a third-grade girl all day because OMG PUPPIES [...]
excruciating and fascinating detail
Friday, November 7th, 2008If you, like me, have spent the past 22 months obsessively poring over election details, you may find the following incredibly incisive account of said election as fascinating as I did. Newsweek published it; it’s all from deep-insider reports that the magazine agreed to publish only after Nov. 4. The navigation on their website sucks [...]
the ballad of Johnny one-note
Thursday, November 6th, 2008It occurs to me I’d gone years without thinking of Ralph Nader until just today, which is either an indicator of what a forgiving person I am or how shitty my memory is. Probably you’ve heard about this already in some forum or another, but on the off chance you haven’t, here’s the quote from [...]
