Peep Show
13 April 2009Easter was yesterday. I didn’t go to mass, but I think the Risen Jesus would still be happy with how I celebrated. In short form: I did a full-building egg hunt for my friends. Here I have helpfully drawn (pun!) your attention to Egg-Searcher Jesse and the object that has been giving him the slip [...]
Shelf Awareness
8 April 2009So, long story, but I might apply to go to business school part time. I know, right? What a perfect place for someone whose ideal day would be sleeping for 16 hours and reading Sarah Dessen novels/ watching A Double Shot At Love in between naps. This might be the dumbest idea I had since [...]
South by Southwest
23 March 2009Little Brother Peej and his band of lunatics played South By Southwest this weekend.

I’m a PC and I’m twenty seven and three quarters
23 February 2009You know those commercials where 4 year olds show you how they can upload pictures and send them to their grandparents? Christ, those kill me. I didn’t like the I’m A Mac/ I’m A PC ads because I think John Hodgman beats Justin Long 7 days a week and twice on sundays so the point [...]
Call the waaaaaambulance
16 December 2008Here’s a list of things that have made me cry in the last 36 hours: 1. That effing debeers commercial with old people holding hands. Old people holding hands just KILLS me. On Valentine’s Day this year, the google image was old people holding hands and I had to stop googling things until the 15th [...]
