Insane in the midbrain
The one and only roommate I had in college - and in my life, other than Kyle - was a pre-med student who shared my taste in music.
One day we were listening to Cypress Hill, and I sang along, “…insane in the membrane, insane in the brain…”
She cocked her head and narrowed her eyes. […]

You never know when an old friend will reappear
On YouTube, no less. As the dad in the video, just to be perfectly clear.

Lather, rinse, repeat
Definitely concerned about the aspen trees, which haven’t lost their leaves yet.
But last year’s casualty is hanging tough.
I say we all play hooky today!

Give and let give
One of my favorite episodes of “Friends” - one that actually had a worthwhile moral message - is “The One Where Phoebe Hates PBS“. Phoebe and Joey argue over whether a selfless good deed exists. With rare intellectual insight, Joey posits that all good deeds are selfish by definition, because doing a good […]

Many exits
In college, I spent my summers working for a local independent bookstore.
Surrounded by books, I read even more voraciously than I had as a child, and I read a much wider variety of authors, writing on a much wider variety of topics. In some cases, I would read everything that the author had ever […]

It’s a sin
It’s all my fault, really.
I made a silly comment to Tacy over a week ago in the parking lot at Target. I don’t even know what I was referring to, but I said, “It’s a sin.” Which sparked a conversation for which I wasn’t prepared.
For the rest of the drive to her friend’s […]

I’m not dead yet
(edited to include greater detail below)
But I’m working on it.
New shutters.
More new shutters.
First snow. Snow is all but gone now. Beautiful, bright sunny days ever since.
Frozen bee. I watched him cling to the screen outside the kitchen window all day, as the sun disappeared and the clouds rolled in and the snow […]

Interview with the Vampira
The following is a transcript of the Mother Inferior’s probing interview of Catherine the Undead in which she attempts to ascertain the reasons behind Catherine’s persistent efforts to eat her classmates alive.

Extrasensory poop-ception
Tacy has ESP. Really. Well, sort of.
Last night, Tacy and CJ and I watched an episode of “Curious George” in which a blackout occurs. I reflected on the blackout in New York (and across several other states and Canada) in August 2003, and nudged Tacy.
“Do you remember the blackout in New York?” […]
