Rule, Brittaniea! Gonna teach you tricks that'll blow your mind
Weekend warriers
One week before he’s scheduled to leave again C finally got his ‘79 Vespa running. Notice how he got mine running before his first hitch in January. Guy knows how to prioritize.
Anyway, the two of us and Lance decided to take advantage of the weather Saturday, and started by meeting at Star Pizza in the [...]
One must not treat children like adults
Tuesday C and I participated in our first caucus. It was a festive event — we walked the five minutes from our house to our polling location with a collapsible cooler and made friends in the line by talking about the various candidates. There were Obamaphiles everywhere and for some reason not a Clintonite to [...]
Stupidest Question of the Week
Lady: Does this elevator go to the other floors?

Chafed
So I only did the 40-miler. But it took me less than three hours and I’ll challenge anyone who thinks that not a brag-worthy accomplishment.

Before the show I was walking Gus* as the sun was setting when we crossed paths with a small gray creature moving slowly along the sidewalk. On a couple of [...]
Dilemma
For a month I have been anxiously awaiting the March 29 performance of Asian-beat psych-pop band Dengue Fever.
Yesterday I found out that The Fleshtones are playing the same night, along with friends of my friend Miss Formika. If I could be in two places at once, I would, but as of now it looks like [...]
Oh noes!
I just found out Neil Hamburger is performing Saturday night as well! I would hate this city if I didn’t love it so much.
