I was all ready to write about how Jason Schwarztman is my crush this week. I’ve liked him since Rushmore, and that movie where he played the guy who had a crush on a girl and he makes a doll out of strands of her hair that he finds, which I never saw but they […]

I have never liked Bret Boone. I’ve said some pretty mean things about him during his stint as an M. The two words that most readily come to mind are “overrated” and “cocky.” But now that he’s been traded to Minnesota, I feel bad about all the stuff I’ve said. I mean, it’s one thing […]

I’m anxiously waiting for my phone to ring. Though I usually resent like hell the idea of sitting around waiting for a boy to call, I’m OK with it right now because the boy in question is my brother, Joe. After spending his first tour in Iraq as a captain in the Marines, he is […]

Remember that potentially good financial news I talked about a couple of weeks ago? Well, it became a reality and the first money I spent (other than three or four celebratory Whiskey Sours) was this overdue investment: an iPod. I’ve wanted one for so long, particularly when I see people at the gym, sweating to […]

And not just because it’s possible that there are snakes this big there, because, by most accounts, it’s not. No, it’s mostly because there are people who believe it is possible.

This week, I have a crush on the boy I saw at the Tin Hat last night. I didn’t see him when I first got there, but on his way back from the bathroom or the bar, he made significant eye contact and I noticed how tall and cute and dark haired he was. When […]

There was an article in the P-I last week about how people in their young twenties are being called the “Entitlement Generation.” You don’t want to read the article, so lemmee sum up: these little whippersnappers don’t want to work hard paying their dues, settle for low pay, or remain loyal to any one company. […]

Ray Allen has signed a five-year deal with the Sonics. I’m happy. Enough said. Allen agrees to stay with Sonics

So I’m home for the weekend. And when I say home, I mean the town I grew up in, in my parents’ house, on my mom’s computer. I come home fairly regularly, so it’s not like I’m having all kinds of Thomas Wolfe moments or anything, but I’m always a little surprised at revelations I […]
