Pink, It’s Not Even a Question

December 10, 2009

Up until about 6 months ago, I had a pink Razr. Yes, the hottest phone of 2006.
I took a fair amount of ribbing over it. I didn’t care. I hate– no, I loathe– talking on the phone so basically I view it as a texting device. I only talk with three people on the phone [...]

The 500

December 9, 2009

Today marks my 500th post.
500 acts of self indulgence. 500 outstretched arms. 500 flashes of alienation.
What is to say? Nothing really. So I asked Peter DeWolf what he would ask me, what he wants to know.

Me and Jenny

December 8, 2009

A perfect example: Forrest [...]

Because If I Don’t Say this Now I Never Will

December 6, 2009

I feel stuck lately in that I don’t feel that there is anything to say.
I am happy enough. My job is good. Nothing is wrong.
My annoyances are even mundane; a frustrating coworker, a disappointing number on the scale, a few duds in my social circle. Nothing special.
I am…existing. I am here. My [...]

Tongue Tied

December 2, 2009

A few weeks ago my dear friend, Irish Lebowski, had a birthday. Now, you may remember that Irish had a baby a few months back. She is delightful, that Baby Lebowski.

Overload

November 30, 2009

So, yesterday TLC played a marathon of shows about super sized people. You know what I am talking about: “Half Ton Dad”, “Half Ton Mom”, “Half Ton Teen” and “650 Pound Virgin”. Basically, the show served two purposes: to make me think about biscuits and how delicious they are and to once again remind me [...]

Team Jacob’s Abs

November 23, 2009

You know, sometimes I have thoughts I cannot control.
Let’s say, for example, I went to see New Moon this weekend. Just as an example. It is not like it happened or anything.
And let’s say during New Moon I had some thoughts, some dirty thoughts. And these dirty thoughts involved me, 17-year-old Taylor [...]
