An Efficient Day
I stopped by to see Maria at work last weekend. She just started working at a shop called Treasures downtown. I had nothing better to do since it was near the end of the Thanksgiving holiday. With several days off, […]
ITEOTWAWKI: Tour News
I can officially get excited. R.E.M. has announced its first concert for 2008. We don’t know when they will release their next album. We don’t even know what it might be called. But we know they will play in Florida […]
“The Ex” and “Ocean’s Thirteen”
For the first time in forever, we rented a few movies. We had some time over the holidays, so I used a gift card I got for my birthday and picked a pair up at Blockbuster. We had want to […]

ITEOTWAWKI: I Can Do It Too
A while back, I wrote a column about wanting a guitar. I bit the bullet and bought one over the summer. A few times a week, I go down to the basement, find some chords of a song I like […]
I Feel Used
I finished a book the other day, “The Ethical Assassin” by David Liss. I picked it up a few months ago at a local bookstore for the same reason I always pick up books – I liked the brief plot […]
