Opera
Its been a pretty good weekend. I got lots done, got a fair amount of rest, got to see a bunch of my friends, spent lots of time with Stef, went to a Better than Ezra concert and got to see Grandmaster flash. Yes, that's right, the Grandmaster Flash ( Read more... ) -
Detroit Gastronomy
It has been awhile since I've written. Almost an entire year. I guess things catch up to you eventually, but I've just been busy lately and once you stop something, its tough to start up again. The summer is winding down and i feel like I've hardly even started it. A big part of this is probably because i spent almost an entire month out of town. I ( Read more... ) -

So this is The New Year
From January 04, 2009:
Here I am, at General Mitchel Milwaukee airport again. At least this time I’ve not been delayed. Rather, my changeover was about 2 hours long. I’m about to fly back to Kansas City. Vacation is over and its time to get back to the hum and drum. The odd part about it this year is that I’ve left wondering what I’m getting back ( Read more... ) -
Mix Tapes Pt.2
From December 24, 2008:
The mix cd is now not just a collection of random tracks that I enjoyed throughout the year. It has become a recording of a year in my life. It is an audio history of action, reaction, and emotion within a year of my life. As a historian (a weak one) I feel that these “records” are invaluable. I’ve even been considering ( Read more... ) -
Making a Mix Pt.1
From December 23, 2008: The last few days, I’ve been preparing for my trip home. Sure, I know what you’re thinking, “well Thom, you were just home for thanksgiving less than a month ago. Shouldn’t you already be prepared?” This is true, I should be prepared already, but going home for Christmas is different. It isn’t like the short jaunts you have ( Read more... ) -
Detox Diet Pt 2
From October 20, 2008:As is a the usual story, my mother would and still does, nag me on a regular basis concerning what she thinks is an excessive amount of drinking. Seemingly, by my observations, regular society drinks far more than I do. Perhaps that is a bit misleading. By regular society I am referring to young twenty something professionals ( Read more... ) -
Detox Diet
From October 19, 2008:Today is day 7 of me detox. I don’t remember if I ever wrote about this but I figure today is as good as any. This past December was the first time I went “home” for Christmas. Its not that I haven’t spent all my holidays at home, but this past year was the first year that I had moved significantly far enough from home that it ( Read more... ) -
What Drunk Type Are You?
I’ve decided there needs to be an addition to my list of the different types of drunks. I don’t remember if I’ve ever written it down before, but for the past few years, I decided that there were only 4 main types. My guess is the past few weeks of craziness has expanded what I believe is within these categories. I guess I can break them all down ( Read more... ) -
Dreams of...
From July 20th, 2008:I had a dream last night that was a convolution of many things. Maybe they were more than one dream and maybe they just all blurred together, I don’t know. One of them was John and I sitting in the big empty cafeteria room (multi-purpose room) back in high school. We were clearly seniors again, and we were being arranged in ( Read more... )
