The Most Powerful Position is On Your Knees

10.31.2003

I cannot in good conscience condone this type of behavior. Really. I can’t. On my way to some nebulous nether region between Hillsborough and Durham Tuesday night (on a map it says “here be monsters”), I passed a church that proclaimed “Wal-Mart is not the only saving place.” I can’t even begin to express all [...]

10.27.2003

even my car can’t stop mentioning Iceland Say hello to Plooblewagon, brought home Saturday after many hours of half truths, little white lies and outright, barefaced lies from a salesman who was actually wearing a black cowboy hat. In case you care, it’s a 2003 Mazda Protegé5 (with a 5-speed, natch). And no, it’s not [...]

I Don't Know Much About Art, But I Don't Know Much About Weights and Measures Either

what is it with me and animal noses? Hastings has now decided that I feed him every time I stand up. He’s stepped up the “how about a snack?” meow to the “I’m calling the animal protection society, bastard” meow. Every time I put food in his bowl, he spins around and fixes me with [...]

could be worse – he could have gotten a tattoo I’ve posted a gallery of my Iceland photos. I think there are maybe three that were taken in daylight. <a href=”This one didn’t seem worth preserving for posterity, but I still enjoy it.

Ode to a Minibar

10.21.2003

I’ve been home from Iceland for four hours. I am very, very sleepy. My eyes itch. My upper lip feels funny. I’m having that looming and staring and trying to remember how to type feeling. So why am I up and writing in my blog about Iceland when basically I’ve been writing in a blog [...]

Brought to You by the Icelandic Dental Association

10.19.2003

I’m a little worried about that molar Want an update on my week in Iceland? Well, it’s like this. It’s 4:00 a.m. and you’re in a bar and someone asks if he can use your camera and it’s Siggi Baldursson (formerly of the Sugarcubes and now involved in a lot of cool other stuff), and [...]

What's the Dizzle, My Pizzle?

10.14.2003

dogs love me ’cause I’m crazy sniffable I went to a pet store yesterday to pick up some gifts for Taavi the Viking Wonder Dog. Now I was raised by with dogs, but I’ve been owned by cats for more than ten years and haven’t been down the chew toy aisle for quite some time. [...]

Heiliges Crap

10.13.2003

gratuitous donut porn I stopped at a convenience store Saturday night and found this rack of donuts sitting forlornly outside. I assume they were old and about to be thrown away, but I couldn’t help but feel an intense “hey, free donuts!” rush. It was a struggle not to scoop them all up and dash [...]
