I declare my support for AFAJP, Americans for Fairness in Awarding Journalism Prizes, and their campaign to win a Pulitzer for The Onion. This video joins the ranks of those by such luminaries as Tom Hanks, Ira Glass, Paul Reiser, and the President of Georgia.

Recently, my friend Nick (pictured here) received a few flirtatious texts from a Louisiana number that were clearly not intended for him.  It was still going on when he, Carin, and I were at Green Mill this Tuesday night, so we decided that it was high time he replied.  Nick has detailed the entire sordid tale on his own [...]

This morning I accidentally knocked Carin’s toothbrush onto the floor. We boiled it to sterilize it. I was struck by the surreality of the above image and felt the need to share. You’re welcome.

Last night. I cooked dinner for my girlfriend and myself. She came home from a rehearsal, and we settled in to watch the election returns. We sipped a full-bodied, spicy tempranillo, Ate juicy, medium-rare steak, perfect roasted potatoes, steamed broccoli, insalata caprese, and Ben & Jerry’s Americone Dream, And we watched Obama win. Twitter, Facebook, [...]

This year was the first Halloween in years (possibly since I was a kid) in which I actively participated. Carin and I attended no less than four events as Marty McFly and the flux capacitor. (We were joined on one occasion by our friend David dressed as 1955. He just wrote the date in time-circuit [...]

Last night, I embarked on a ridiculous endeavor. My friend Nick and I went to see the very wonderful Yeasayer at The Triple Rock, and I decided to Twitter (tweet?) from the concert, because what better way to enjoy a concert than by staring down at your phone, typing furiously with your thumbs while you [...]

Now that I’ve moved into my new apartment, I’ve started hunting for furniture, since I need…well…almost everything. While looking for a sofa, I found this: I know what he means, but c’mon. Internet users as a whole, particularly those who buy furniture on craigslist, aren’t generally known for their mastery of Latin. I imagine he’s getting a [...]

The past several days have been quite the social whirlwind. One would think that completing my girlfriend’s introduction to the original BBC version of The Office would be more than enough joy for one weekend, but oh, no. The partying would continue unabated. Carin and I had comps for Friday night’s performance of Little House on [...]

Got my photos developed from my ancestor hunt to Lake Pepin. The black and white roll didn’t come out, because the nine-year-old roll of TMAX has ripped sprocket holes, so the roll never advanced. I suspected this might’ve been the case when I rewound the film. Oh, well. Click below to take a look… Sea Wing [...]
