Not too long ago I bought Trenton a crepe maker. We’d had a handful of awesome crepe experiences at various restaurants, and he was skeptical that such a delicacy could be made at home. Many years of French class had convinced me otherwise and so I special-ordered one from Bed, Bath, & Beyond (PS. what […]

Bartenders love Trenton. Wait, let me rephrase that. Female bartenders love Trenton. At first I found it mildly irritating, but now I’m starting to enjoy the perks that come with dating a head-turner. There are still occasional frustrations. Take Moonbeam, for example. Moonbeam is a waitress at Cumberland Brews and that is not her real […]

The Summer Slaughter tour came through Bogart’s last night. Decapitated was headlining, and Trenton didn’t want to miss the chance to see one of his favorites live, despite the fact that only a small fraction of the original lineup remains. A few years ago, the original(ish) members of Decapitated were involved in a bus crash, […]

Finley doesn’t know about Pandora and when we showed up to his house for Ultra Cute Movie Night, he was wearing a pair of white short-shorts WELL above the knee. The first cute movie night was a raving success and we had a blast. We watched an old movie starring a young Art Garfunkel, drank […]

Saturday night, Trenton, Luke, Eli, and I went to It’s All Greek To Me for dinner. Trenton and I had been there before for lunch, and loved it. The host/chef/waiter is this big, friendly, bald Greek man with a mustache who inserts “please” two or three times into every sentence. The menu had changed slightly […]

Trenton really deserves all the credit. He recently started a new running program and it has totally inspired me to get my ass back in shape. At Carleton, we had easy access to the rec center, and working out was never really an issue. The biggest inconvenience (besides the 8 minute walk across campus) was […]

Like most of what I write about here, I can’t articulately explain the draw I feel towards abandoned buildings. Something about the contradiction, the decay. There’s a building on Frankfort Avenue that has been on my mind for months. First it was just abandoned, and I’d heard rumors that it was caught up in some […]

Trenton’s right—I should have written this down sooner. Some of the details are becoming vague, but I’m going to do what I can. The thing is, living with the twins makes stories like these seem almost commonplace. Nonetheless, this one definitely deserves capture, if for nothing other than blackmail purposes… It must have sat by […]

In high school, I spent a lot of time watching actors. My Walden friends were constantly rehearsing or performing, and I loved to be a peripheral part of it. It’s a completely different experience watching someone you know perform. For most of my friends, talented though they were, I could never quite remove what I […]

I’m a bad friend. I’m a worse blogger, but I’m a bad friend. SEVERAL weeks ago, Chase and I had a pretty fantastic evening and I swore to him that I’d come here and tell the internets all about it. That was just after Christmas, I think… Anyway, my apologies, Chasetopher. This one’s for you, […]
