why aren’t there divorce cakes?
pretty sure cake makes everything better. ice cream, too. or, better yet—both. which is why i’ve decided to adopt “cake or death?” as my new personal motto. when i wake up every day, i will ask myself this question, and it will invariably lead me to focus more on the things that don’t s*ck, which […]
nobody messes with joe. or his boss.
because my busted-#ss television still isn’t fixed, i could only experience the president’s not-state-of-the-union via good ol’ radio on NPR and that new-fangled twitter that all the kids are raving about. nevertheless, i kinda surprised myself by how often i had to stop and pinch myself to say, “holy cr*p – this guy is really […]
in defense of february 15
(Editor’s Note: technically this was written on February 14, and just posted to the Inter-tubes today—because the writer is a feeble technophobe living in another century, apparently) not exactly by design, a few of my ex’s have been slipping in and out of my periphery of late—some more dramatically than others. given that the weird […]

okkervil river, ok!
for all of you who love the okkervil river – or, more accurately, love those who love okkervil river – this special youtube channel is a lovely way to bide your time while surfing through the inter-tubes. those crazy guys (the ones actually in okkervil river) decided to ask a bunch of other crazy guys […]
a dozen or so things about me
a couple people asked me to do the facebook equivalent of a chain letter, which ultimately required me to list 25 things about myself. and since the interwebs are nothing if not a repository for stupid lists, i’ve reproduced some of the highlights here, for all you non-facebooking folks: 1. i’m a wretched singer, and […]
give and take (but mostly give)
give + take is a book about a modern day robin hood type. and conchord free press gave the book away (i.e., free) to anyone who requested a copy – with the stipulation that you [a] make a donation to the charity of your choice, [b] pass the book along to someone else when you’re […]
