Hey, mine too

I have a good friend in Tucson whose name may or may not be Wendy in real-life. This alleged Wendy person and her boyfriend are kindly letting me stay with them until I drive home, since I’ve already sublet my studio to a couple of cute boys who are probably having hot gay sex in my place as [...]

The only thing I feel compelled to blog about

Check out this little nugget:
Frugal Traveler: The American Road Trip
I love it when places I think are mine, mine, solely mine, show up in the high-falutin’ New York Times. And that’s right, this one currently ranks Number 1 on the Most E-Mailed list. Just what Dahlonega needs…a bunch of Yankees reading about it in the [...]

Bitch, please

A few days ago, I spent an entire IM conversation unbrainwashing one of my best girlfriends when she dropped a comment about how she’d be perfect if she lost just ten more pounds. She then went on to talk about how fat she felt and how if only she had just a little more willpower, she could [...]

Oh, the cheese

“Creating a proverbial map of the archipelago of anthropological ideas on [...]

Don’t be a fool

I’m in the middle of writing the boringest paper I’ve written in years, and really I don’t care so much. But my friends, being what they are, like to distract me with amusement and encouragement. I share that with you now. This one is from my friend Pete! Pete! is a person whose name must [...]

Death by cuteness

Today, as expected, was a rough day. I am SO over this semester. Luckily for me, I ran across what is perhaps my favorite website of the week over on Dooce.com.The site is called Disapproving Rabbits, and it’s pretty basic. Just image….

After image….

Of disapproving rabbits, along with snappy little captions. This one is my favorite, top of Page 10…
