Books are officially closed for the summer. And before I have to slip into button downs and the occasional suit, I have a small window of freedom. Well, I have a growing list of things that need to get done, but that comes after I regroup, mentally assess the mess that my life and apartment [...]

muddy optimism
February 10th, 2009 · No Comments · general stuff, hats
I’m really bad at being optimistic. Once, in a stupidly foolish moment of one-sided confidence, I declared my conviction that people in general just aren’t really interested in what anyone else has to say. They only care if you’re interested in what they’re interested in. If not, their interest in you is directly correlated to [...]
hello, 2009!
January 6th, 2009 · No Comments · general stuff, hats
I’m back in Boston. Back from the land of anorexically skinny girls, equally slight boys, and faux fixed gear bikes with freewheels but only one brake. Needless to say, I didn’t do much while back at home. I did mentally review the never-ending goal of losing five pounds while I stuffed my face with food [...]
boldsprints!
October 19th, 2008 · No Comments · hats
While I’ve never been masochistic enough to get on a pair of rollers, head to head with another person, and pedal like crazy for one full minute, I still feel an obligation to contribute/reward those who choose to engage in such behavior. Which is why two s*class hats will be given to the top male [...]

I passed a chipmunk the today that had been perfectly smushed against the pavement. Well, I passed it a few days in a row now (it’s on my commute) and as gross as it is, I still tend to pass right by it. And I look at it. Like every day. Okay, I’m definitely not [...]

redundant re-runs
August 6th, 2008 · No Comments · general stuff
Re-runs are great; there are some shows you can watch over and over and over again. And on those days you can barely drag yourself out of bed, starving but too hung over to actually make anything to eat, the warm glow of Law and Order marathons are God’s gift to the now-latent raging alcoholic [...]
back at it
July 30th, 2008 · No Comments · general stuff
A visit to NYC, deadlines, and a promisingly huge project. Those are my excuses of the day. I have to admit, I’m excited about this project. Not the hats – that’s something small and personal (at least for now). But there’s something big starting up and it’s right down my alley. Yesterday couldn’t have been [...]
unfinished business
July 16th, 2008 · No Comments · drop offs
You know when you start hooking up with someone who is clearly psychotic and who keeps trying to rip your balls off but you keep going back for more? And you tell yourself that it’s because the sex is so awesome or because she’s so hot and you probably couldn’t do better and all your [...]
