Memories
Oh man, just rediscovered this conversation from back in the days of CB: Tracy: Did you ever see that blog where that girl posted pictures of her cervix every day for a month?
KJ: Why? How? Tracy: I guess her boyfriend had a really strong camera. Sarah: Yeah he did! KJ: That’s just gross. Sarah: Why were you looking at this? Tracy: Because some friend sent it to me, like,...

and so on
From August, 2005:
The latest story that’s making the rounds of amused relatives: So my aunt Bone (yes Bone) goes to the movies with everyone, and sitting beside her is my cousin Barney (yes Barney), who is, oh, 12ish. They were seeing Lord of the Rings 3, and the time before when they went to see #2 Barney had gotten “a bit worried,” so Bone was “keeping an eye on...

The process of getting this post accurate:
Not quite as embarrassing as the great Amy Adams vs. Isla Fischer debacle, but still.

MS Paint Portfolio: How about you, you, you?
Back in mid-2009, Evan sent me and Sanam an email that suggested that, since his uncle and cousin both work at the zoo, there might be a chance for us to get a behind-the-scenes tour there, and maybe hold some animals.
Sanam and I, predictably, lost our shit.
I’ve had a folder on my desktop ever since reminding me to illustrate the email thread that ensued; and now, a year and a half...

A Dead Fellow
From December 2005:
Ohh, my head… my favorite quote from last night: Daphne: “Beer before liquor, so you’re okay.” Ed: Yeah, that definitely rhymes.

rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
Well, Sunday marked my last shift at MRS, as the store has declined to keep me and my oh-so-helpful 4-hour a week shift on past the holidays. This is both sad (the work was pleasant enough and I enjoyed the discount) and a relief (I’ll get my Sunday evenings back and only be working 1 official job).
Throughout my time with MRS, I kept track of the amount of money I spent versus that which...

Rated Arrrrrr
Just found this little tale I sent to my college girls back in March of 2007:
Okay. Time for a story.
Well then.
Daphne, in her infinite wisdom, declared Saturday (March 24th) to be St. Patrick’s Day 2.0. Since my St. Patrick’s Day 1.0 this year had involved me going to bed at 10:00, I had to agree that this was an excellent idea. So, armed with green food dye, Daphne, Joan,...

this should stop being an annual event.
When Aemon moved I made a tribute video to friendship in his honor, and now I’ve made one for Sanam, and I’d like to officially go on the record and say I’m not going to make any more goodbye videos, because I’m starting to think it’s just encouraging this sort of bad behavior. Everyone else has to suck it up and stay here, no more moving!
The last video made people...

Material Advancement
So I have this new job, working as a copywriter at a pharmaceutical advertising agency—an agency which, for the purposes of this blog, shall be hereafter referred to as “Pharmville.”
Sanam spent several years telling me I should work in advertising, and I spent several years ignoring her; and then she suggested I talk to KellyS, who was apparently more convincing AND set me up...

Honesty is genetic
In response to my interview-bloopers post:
“You’ve heard about my gaffe while trying to get into [private school], right? I was 10, and they asked what I did in my spare time, and I said, ‘I fight with my brothers.’”

(non-) MS Paint Portfolio: Fundo!
An invention I came up with in senior year of college, while not perhaps entirely sober:
“The invention is you have a little plastic disk shaped like a heart,
and that heart-shaped disk is on a ring. And that heart is the proud
possessor of a spike sticking out of the middle of it. It’s like a ring
pop that you’ve sucked the jewel off only the circle is a heart and the
stick...
