this is not Nam

I think it’s the water. Or, not the water exactly, but the tube that pipes the water into the industrial coffee maker we have in the kitchen at work. Possibly it’s the Maxwell, but I’d like to give the company more credit than that. Either way, whatever the cause, the women who drink the office […]

five days in three parts

Part One – I just can’t listen to Elliott Smith the way I used to. It was spring break last week [EDIT: last week –ish] for Adam and Chelsea and they drove all the way down from Madison, WI to Louisville to waste it with me. They arrived just after I got home from work […]

it’s pronounced “hiney”

KatieFebruary 8, 2008

Officially living in Louisville now. I’m sitting in a Heine Bros getting ready to buy some Robert Plant/Allison Krauss tickets. The first show sold out within minutes, and so they added a second. Cross your fingers for me. The move was pretty uneventful save for some very eventful weather we ran into in Illinois. God, […]
