I’m sure that your ex-boyfriend ex-lover and you had a Really Special Relationship. As you fumbled your way into adulthood, those mornings spent drinking black coffee and reading the Times together, I know that the cloyingly self-conscious part of you was having meta-thoughts about how perfect…
i wish i was really good at one thing. one thing that wasn’t spelling. being able to spell every word ever stopped being impressive in 7th grade when we stopped taking tests on it. i guess it is pretty cool that i’ve never made the mistake of spelling “definitely” with an a. you fools!
i think i’m just going to be kind-of-good at a lot of things forever. maybe...

After work I attended a birthday party for my nephew Micah who turned two recently. There was a lot of babies there, so I left after 50 minutes. Too much shrieking and annoying sounds, not to mention most of them are ugly. Micah might be the…

James Lileks gives a tongue-in-cheek explanation about living in Minnesota to outsiders, in today’s Star Tribune…..

Best Tumblr post ever. I’m pretty sure.
so. it’s 2011.
i rang in the new year by drinking too much tequila and dancing a lot and sloshing the tequila around and kissing many people on the mouth and then puking a bunch. not in their mouths. so, all in all, probably my best new year’s celebration yet. truly. i was with a lot of really great people, and since it was my last hoorah with alcohol and cigarettes (until my...
