I first heard about this idea from a friend who dates a British guy. Apparently, ICE originated in Cambridge and, though it’s brilliant, I feared it would never catch on stateside. How wrong I was! So, to give you and your loved ones a little peace of mind, program ICE into your phone along with […]
If Hickopolis was a real place, today would be our summer festival day. Tonight is Fucked Jukebox at the Tin Hat. A rare and hilarious occasion when regulars, randoms, and Randys enjoy the privilege of spinning their choice of seven songs, any seven songs, for all of the bar to hear. The first Fucked Jukebox […]
Regular readers of this blog (or anyone who read last Sunday’s post) know that I am currently obsessed with the South. I want to live there so bad, I start drawling and spouting y’alls just thinkin’ ’bout it. This craze has several origins: an ex from North Cakalaki, a formative summer in high school when […]
It’s raining and cold today, which means when I got dressed this morning, I had to figure out an outfit that consisted of long pants and shoes that require socks. Remember those J Crew pants I ripped the lining of last week? They were the only pair even remotely clean and dressy enough for the […]
BFE told me about this blog a few weeks ago, and then again last week when I was telling her about how I’ve decided the only way to keep grounded in the life I’ve spent the last ten years creating for myself while working for The Man is to date an indie rock boy. BFE […]
My mother has figured out how to allow for comments by anonymous people on her blog. Go, comment, laugh at how she and I seem to share one brain. The Front Porch
I am a bit of a snob when it comes to language. Grammar, syntax, punctuation. I love it all. I think about it before I go to sleep at night. It’s part of what makes me both terribly interesting and horribly annoying. I’ve almost successfully kicked the habit of correcting people’s redundancies and use of […]
I read Parade magazine in the Sunday paper this morning. The feature story was all about where people live and how much $100,000 will buy you in different cities. Upon reading it, I’ve decided I’m either moving to Nashville or Austin. You should have seen the house $98,000 can buy in Austin! And even though […]
This one is hopeless, which is what makes it a crush, I guess. I have a crush on a temporary IT guy here at work. He’s tall, has long hair, wears glasses, and is the right amount of skinny computer guy. I hadn’t seen him in a few days and figured he was gone, but […]
Last weekend, I went to see this band full of adorable boys play at Lobo in Seattle. The lead guitarist is a friend of a friend, so I got to meet all of the guys in that band, and their sexy female lead singer, and the cuties in one of the opening bands. What is […]
