Wave Gotik Treffen: Let’s go!

I’ve wanted to go to Europe for a very long time. I find myself becoming extremely jealous when I hear other people’s tales of backpacking and European adventures. Oz and I often discuss going to Scotland so he can visit his home country — his mother’s maiden name is Dewar, as in Dewar’s scotch whiskey.… Continue reading

New classics on SNL

My knowledge of newer SNL episodes is pretty limited, but I really like Kristen Wiig. Her compulsive liar character, Penelope is excellent. She’s also hilarious on the Lawrence Welk Show clip. (Note: this one starts out a little slow but keep watching, it’s good.) Some others that I remember being pretty funny are: The art… Continue reading

My thoughts on Drew Barrymore

I used to think that I hated Drew Barrymore because of Charlie’s Angels, her stupid palsy face, and for doing stuff like this: I still kind of hate her, but after having a recent discussion with my friends, I’ve come to the startling realization that I may like Drew Barrymore. I know, it makes me… Continue reading

A melancholy Christmas

I just finished reading Augusten’s newest: I was expecting really big things out of this book, and to be honest, I was a little disappointed. The first few essays were about Augusten’s childhood and were admittedly chuckle-worthy. They involved a life-sized wax Santa with a half-eaten face and a gingerbread public housing unit. But as… Continue reading

More ranting, anyone?

Since the beginning of the summer, I’ve been compiling a list of things that I absolutely hate. They are mostly social faux pas, but some do relate to Web writing. Here they are, for you reading pleasure: Conversate. According to Jesse Sheidlower, editor of the OED, it is a word. Much to my dismay. Using… Continue reading

Phil Hartman, we love and miss you.

I remember sitting around the TV on Saturday nights when my parents and I would watch Saturday Night Live. In later years, we would watch the SNL re-runs that came on E! and proceed to quote them for the rest of the week. One of my favorite people on SNL was Phil Hartman because his… Continue reading

You’re fired.

This past Tuesday I went into work only to be met with a paycheck and the phrase, “Don’t bother clocking in.” Apparently I was fired because I wasn’t available to work the hours I was scheduled. Which, of course is total bullshit. I told the owners the week I was hired that I wouldn’t be… Continue reading

Nasty-larious

I found this while doing a Google search of “Augusten Burroughs tattoos.” It came up on the first page. I hope to God that the discoloration around the belly button is part of the tattoo, but I have the sneaking suspicion that it’s not. Continue reading

Baltimore wedding

The second wedding I went to was on Sunday in Baltimore and was for my aunt Ellen and her fiance Barry. Ellen’s friend Vicky, Grandmom and I helped Ellen get dressed in the upstairs portion of the Elkridge Furnace Inn. It rained the whole day, but right before the outdoor ceremony at 2 p.m., the… Continue reading
