So I joined okCupid.com. I figure it's going to be an experience whether I meet someone or not. It'll be an adventure at any rate. So far there have been a few dudes who have contacted me that actually seem very cool. I've even added one of them on facebook. I'm giving myself plenty of time before I meet anyone for real. But it should be ( Read more... )

welcome to the weekend of Kevy D's visit.

saturday - i got back into town maybe half on hour before Chris and Kevin got back from greensboro. i had pretty high expectations for Kevin's "Risa You Should Drink" speech, and they were promptly exceeded. there were allegories, metaphors, brilliant strokes of rhetoric--i think there were even a few story ( Read more... )

so we played Napper Tandy's on Friday, and it was a really great show, one of our best. someone i haven't seen since sophomore year of high school was in town for his sister's graduation and came out to see the show, which was really cool. it was nice catching up with what he's been up to in the years between (short story: class clown goes into ( Read more... )

say, in the last five years? why was i ever scared by this movie? they couldn't have possibly fit more cheese into it.

also thank goodness that Pete and Pete is just as wonderful as i remember it being as a child. some things get better with time. Skeet Ulrich isn't one of them.

"Today, I woke up feeling like something was crawling inside my ear. I immediately went to the doctors, and was told a roach had crawled into my ear. The doctor tried to drown it with water, but ( Read more... )

here, in a brief conversation, is my personality and chris's summed up:

chris: is the coffee maker leaking?
me: yeah, it is. i'll buy a new one at the thrift store.

so there you have it. i'm thrifty and he's mechanically inclined.

man, today was not my day. i won't go as far as saying FML, but seriously, FTD. fuck this day.

it started out all right. i woke up to the smell of bacon--paul and his wife stefanie made breakfast for us in our hotel room. yes. awesome. eggs, bacon, strawberries, coffee. so actually the day started out great. everyone still in a good mood from an ( Read more... )

done with Curious Incident. amazing book, but it's nice to have my brain back.

i started reading Duma Key by Stephen King this morning, and sixty pages later i had my writing brain back. i thought of three ways to make my story better and leapt out of bed, excited to write them down. but i thought i'd share this first, a paragraph early on in the ( Read more... )

so i'm reading the book "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time", which is narrated by a 15-year-old boy with Asperger's, a form of autism. i've heard really good things about the book, and i used to tutor a kid with Asperger's, so i thought it would be an interesting read. a few people who read it warned me that when you read this book ( Read more... )
