Well, why are you auditioning for American Idol?
Honestly, I think that might be my answer to every question anyone asks me ever again.  Or at least for the next day.
In other news, I am a very bad chess player.

(Minus the “sweepstakes” bit.)
This morning kicked my ass. It didn’t even pretend that it was doing anything other than kicking my ass, either, and by the time I got to work, I was ready to go back to bed. The day didn’t get much better, either, I guess because it was one of […]

Back when I was in AmeriCorps, that was my motto. Well, not my personal motto, but it’s the AmeriCorps motto. AmeriCorps: Getting Things Done. You know, I actually had to raise my right hand and pledge to get things done for America. It was rather somber, and then afterwards, I went […]

…which I was at some point, and will be until January 19, which is the sign-up deadline for this particular swap, by the way, so you might as well just get comfortable with that fact right now, I thought I would tell you a little story from my youth because that’s always fun and exciting, […]

I was going to write this on Friday, but I got distracted by other things. For instance, I watched The Black Dahlia, which turned out to be a very bad decision on my part. Ouch. And then I was going to post it yesterday, but there was this whole issue with a power outage. […]
