It was a weekend of debauchery. There was one day when all Birmingham & I ate was food leftover from my New Year’s Eve Eve party: adult rice krispie treats, scraps of cheese, eggnog fudge, Sam Adam’s Winter Lager, only to go to his friend’s house for a small get together where we ate brownies [...]

I made the decision to abandon television during the harrowing days of the 2000 election. I was a recent college grad, and I was working at [...]

The top 10 things I learned this weekend
Two days is not enough time to be considered “time off.” If you’re planning on going out of town for a weekend in the month of August, just take Friday off. Everyone else is doing it, so it’s not like you can reach anyone you need to anyway. SisterAlyson has definite ideas about music that [...]

The floodlighted night
I’m going on record here. I am the one person on the internet who didn’t really like the new Batman movie. Admittedly, I went in more interested in being air conditioned for two and a half hours, not because I was hoping it would be The Greatest Movie Of All Time. But still, I was [...]
