hail to the v
It’s been a long time since I’ve written about vaginas.1 But a friend of mine posted this video on Google+2 the other day, and while I certainly haven’t been thinking about it since then (I have so many other things to think about), it crossed my mind again this morning after being thoroughly entertained by … Continue reading
day twenty eight: some thoughts about music
I was driving home the other day, and I was listening to the radio and the Pearl Jam song “Black” came on, and I was sort of listening to it, but mostly I was preoccupied with merging onto a road in the middle of a construction zone and not getting run over by a semi. … Continue reading
day nine: george michael vs. justin timberlake
From Kevin: Who’s more awesome: George Michael or Justin Timberlake? Please provide evidence/support. Okay. Let’s break it down. Round One: George Michael was in Wham! Justin Timberlake was in *NSync. Wham! (as a band name) contains punctuation. It’s not Wham. It’s Wham! Wake me up before you go-go! WHAM! *NSync (as a band name) contains … Continue reading
things i learned from this month’s cosmo
So, I’ve been dutifully reading Cosmo and reporting on it for what feels like 100 years now, and I realized something as I was flipping through the current issue for the fourth time to find something to write about: I’m over it. Maybe I’m just grumpy and preoccupied with other things (I’m kind of busy … Continue reading
random question of the day
Moments ago, I was reading this article in the Guardian about how when Dan Brown’s new Robert Langdon thriller The Lost Symbol comes out in September it will save the world, or something. So Dan Brown is a superhero. Why does he look so pissed 1 in that photo, then? Anyway, this sparked a random … Continue reading
terrible songs they play in emergency rooms
I was in an emergency room yesterday. I took my mom because she essentially tripped over her own feet and landed in a hallway and thought maybe she broke some ribs. (Did I ever tell you about how graceful I am? Now you know who I get it from. Heh.) Turns out that she didn’t … Continue reading

Say you’re on a blind date. 1 You have to find something to talk about, right? There are some universally-accepted topics, that range from the safe and boring (weather, traffic) 2 to the potentially hatred-inducing (religion, politics). 3 In the middle are those other topics, the ones that can turn into conversational goldmines or gateways … Continue reading
let’s make fun of the slap chop
Here are my thoughts on this delightful commercial, provided here with notes on which moment in the commercial I thought them: 0:01 — Hi, Vince. 0:05 — I’m gonna be in a great mood all day because I’m gonna be slapping my troubles away. With the Slap Chop. Aside from the obvious inference that slapping … Continue reading
posting on a saturday? what?
I just spent about an hour going through a bunch of posts in Google Reader, and there are 98 left. It’s down from over 300 yesterday, but you know, sometimes there is just too much internet. Still, I finally got around to this, and it made me happy. Nothing like a little William Carlos Williams … Continue reading
can we talk about american apparel ads?
Look, I know it’s not news that American Apparel ads are creepy, and looking at them sort of feels uncomfortable, like when you’re at the store late at night buying tampons and Snickers and…oh, let’s say batteries, and the cashier dude, who of course has a 70s pornstache and slightly brown teeth, leers at you … Continue reading
