OK, so I'm already freaking out trying to get ready for my trip to Indonesia tomorrow. I remain thoroughly unready, have been informed that I'm unable to get a boarding pass in advance for the 3 international legs of my trip so will likely be cramped in a shit seat, and to top it off, just now... A friend of Sarah's brought over her dog, and in ( Read more... )

I have a lot to be thankful for, as usual, including having had the fortune to enjoy 4 thanksgiving meals! First was the giant 150 person vegan potluck at Poplar Springs animal sanctuary; several friends of mine came with and we ate ourselves silly, tossed pumpkins to pigs to eat, played with sheep, goats, giant cows, donkeys, chickens, etc. The ( Read more... )

Oh my god. My brain hurts so bad, I need to release the pain. Jacob and I just went to a sideshow at a local bar and museum of oddities, and I was expecting more wacky and less terrifying. The acts included ( Read more... )

Someone has paired randomized Nietzsche quotes with randomized family circus cartoons. Remarkable how many of the pairings work out really well!

Jacob is here, and as always good times are flying about higglety-piggelty. There was Streets of Rage duels until 3:30am while drinking lychee liquor, a legendary badminton battle on a set that turns out to have a net that's only chest high (after modified rules we were fine) with birdies that separate every few hits, and me winning $28 playing ( Read more... )

Here's the thing: gingerbread - when well done in cake form - is absolutely fucking delicious. You won't even believe it. Now that it's October, gingerbread is mandatory. Even time I make this stuff I am regretful that I don't make it more often. So, that being said:

As always, I am remiss in posting and can't be expected to remember all that has happened of interest since the last post. One entry of note is that I am now a year older (as of about a month ago), and got a pretty sweet trip up to Philly from Sarah for the birthday, including a super-fancy and incredible meal at Horizons, plus vegan cheesesteaks ( Read more... )

So I have been remiss in posting here, and much has happened, and I am lazy. BUT. I have been to Urbana and while it was insanely frantic between the rehearsals, and trying to get work done, and seeing friends, it was wonderful catching up with people as I could. Also, Tim and Beth's wedding was really cool, and a great chance to see lots of ( Read more... )

Man, when you need cold refreshment and drunkenness, and refuse to either buy a 6-pack of beer that is not great, or overpay significantly at Whole Foods, a 24oz can of Schlitz Bull Ice really does the trick. I mean, if you need 8% malt liquor and don't want to pay more than $0.80 per 12oz, this is really your best option. Better than steel ( Read more... )

I have been remiss in posting, and now I don't even begin to remember all that has happened which I meant to discuss. A few highlights, perhaps ( Read more... )
