Whiskey Tango, Foxtrot?

Bill Amend announced that FoxTrot will be Sundays only starting in 2007. I can’t blame him; he’s drawn it for years. But it is disheartening because it was my favorite comic strip left in print. Everyone in my family could enjoy it - even my mother found it amusing and real enough to laugh at. […]

Nike Minus

If I hadn’t just bought new shoes in October, I’d definitely buy this. Nike and Apple did a good job partnering their respective skill sets into a product that is functional and attractive. Not only did they pick excellent music for the promos (OK Go and Steriogram are two strong contenders for my personal “PowerBoost” […]

Apologies For The Delay…

You guys thought I disappeared again. Well, four finals in 4 days can do that. We’ll pretend I was studying for all that time, and not doing things like hockey (5 games since Wednesday), lunch with Doran, Mike, and Matt Love at bd’s Mongolian Barbecue on Sunday, or work for clients. I also spent some […]

“More Of A Power Hitter…

… doubles, reach the fence on occasion.”
-Jim Marsdale
Tonight Rachel and I went to The Warehouse and watched Poonanza III, hosted by Larry Poon, and featuring Ryan Conner, Jon Mumma, Andy Haynes, Danny Rouhier, Jay Hastings, Justin Schlegel, Aparna Nancherla, Kojo Mante, Jordo Boughrum, Branden Ivey (aka Jimes), Quincy Ledbetter, and a video by Tyler Sonnichsen […]

Things I Might Have Said That I Definitely Plan On Getting In Trouble For

Wes and I are going through a bitter phase right now. Take these tongue in cheek. Even though they’re true. Mine are usually the long, awkwardly-phrased and verbose items.
To compensate, I just finished Christmas shopping for 15 of the 20 people who are getting gifts, and a large number were women, so I’m not […]

Well That’s Dumb

I had a great post all typed up that got eaten by the server. Mostly it was about spending a great night eating dinner with my old roommates who all graduated and got real jobs - Sam, Chris, and Cristian - and how easily we slipped back into our hilarious, absurd, and completely inappropriate conversations. […]

Spent The Day On Ice

I spent more time in or driving to The Gardens Ice House in Laurel today than I did elsewhere. First was Howard vs. River Hill at 4:30pm. We met up with friends who play on River Hill before the game and had a good round of light teasing. My brother had a decent game for […]

Well That Was A Good Night…

All told, my last few days have been a bit surreal. It was the last two days of class, so I had huge papers due and no real class instruction. I don’t have any real reason to get up tomorrow aside from hockey in the evening. It’s the first time in a while I’ve had […]

It’s Finally Worth More Than The Paper It’s Printed On…

… because of this excellent article by Sing Su in The Diamondback today. This is perhaps one of the only articles in my four years here I have felt was legitimately well-written and succinctly expressed an important message.
College is disappointing. It tells us a lot of things about ourselves - we’re irresponsible, we can’t […]

Someone Wipe Off His Arm…

I haven’t mentioned it on here yet (mostly because I am lazy and forgetful), but Rory “Give Me Back My Socks!” Scovel won 3rd place at the Seattle Comedy Competition recently. That’s a pretty big achievement for someone who may never have been to Seattle. But my favorite part of the site was this photo […]
