Oh, is that what it’s like?: A history of my failure to accurately describe books using other books
8 November 2011It’s about zombies in the same way that Jurassic Park is about dinosaurs, which is to say that it’s really about humanity and the haunting fear that our inner natures will bring about our destruction much faster than any common threat to us as a group in the same way that Jurassic Park is really [...]
Minions: Tell me what to wear to all these weddings
12 July 2011I remember basically nothing from Kindergarten other than the family urban legend that grew from my behavior in that class which posited that I was incapable of making friends. Maybe not so much “incapable of” as “unconcerned with.” Cousin Danny was in my Kindergarten class, and since I knew him from when I was something [...]

tweetle dee & tweetle dum
10 March 2009I am currently obsessed with Twitter.

22 September 2008I (still) currently live in new jersey (let’s not talk about my issues with new york real estate right now), and, despite what the tshirts will have you believe, living in new jersey is not without its charms. Whenever I try to detail said charms to nonbelievers, though, it makes me realize that most of [...]
accountability/ flashback friday
11 July 2008Okay, sports fans– I am cutting all of my hair off tomorrow. (Also, my new “thing” is to address people as Sports Fans in situations where it in no way applies. I would never say it to my fantasy baseball league, but somehow, it’s okay when I say it to my book club. So look [...]
notes on having missed my calling
17 June 2008I commute now. Not only is this ruining my day-to-day life, it’s also kind of wrecking my future plans– I always thought I’d keep it real for the next decade or so and then move back to the jerze so that my children could grow up knowing what grass smells like and in a house [...]
