**************** Part 2 **************** It has been said that New Year’s Eve is the worst holiday in creation. Mostly, it has been me that has said this. I’ve mentioned before that I don’t really like people all that much, but I do enjoy parties (“You hate people!” “But I love gatherings. Isn’t it ironic?”). This […]

aaand we’re back
Sorry for the lapse, everybody. December was a crazy month. Just as I was settling back into life post-jury duty, I was stricken with what might have been the flu or TB, possibly bronchitis, perhaps the worst cold of my life, maybe even all four. I’m still hacking up pieces of lung every now and […]

December 13th marked the 25th annual celebration of “Laurapalooza.” I work with two Lauras, and one of them—whom, for clarity’s sake, we usually refer to as “LZ“— hates having her birthday so close to Christmas, so she makes up for it by throwing a ginormous party every year. Her brother has a swanky downtown loft […]

Jim James from My Morning Jacket has said this about Louisville: “You move away, but you’re always going to come back.” This would have horrified 17-year-old me, but now I’m proud to say that it’s true. I think a lot of Louisvillains have had love/hate relationships with this city, but these days, I’m loving it. […]

I’m too strung out on berry pie to form coherent sentences or topics, so it’s going to be a random assortment of observations this evening. Observation 1: I am an internet ROCKSTAR. I got a funky virusy thing on my computer that was messing with my web browser, and despite the fact that my usual […]

I’ve got jury duty for the next two weeks, and although it seems complaining about your jury summons is the popular thing to do, I’m really kind of enjoying it. I get paid time off from work to sit around and read books, and everybody keeps commending me for performing my civic duties. I finally […]

That’s what I wanted to scream at my podiatrist this morning when he rammed a needle full of cortisone into the joint below my big toe. Dr. Sadistic Bastard had the gall to tell me that I might not even feel this giant needle full of cortisone (and local anesthetic) because there was so much […]

Last night I bought an exercise ball to sit on at work, in lieu of a chair, just like Dwight. Thankfully for all my coworkers, there are dividers between our cubes, so I’m only knocking over my own shit. Thoughts so far: Pros, I can definitely feel something happening core-wise, and bouncing gives me a […]
