You’d think the Midwest had never had a snowstorm before.
Thank you all
Sometimes I just lay in bed reading and it occurs to me I don’t know something, which then bugs the hell out of me.

So many Taco Bell memories
erinmargrethe:
While I was writing that last post, I realized that I have at least a dozen separate Taco Bell stories, most of which involved me and my friends, in our early 20s, drunk and/or stoned. The most recent is me, Ross, and my brother having to walk through the Taco Bell drive-thru in Morro Bay because the dining room was already closed. This was nothing new to me, but Ross was at once...

This was my first “Do you remember where you were?” moment.
Sitting in the sunken family room in my family’s house, on the scratchy brown couch, watching TV. But for the life of me, I can’t remember why I wasn’t in school. It was the second shuttle launch I remember, and I can still barely see it in my mind’s eye, the blue Florida sky and the plume of smoke.

No, seriously. Two poop posts and one feature the...

Abbreviated thoughts on NewsRadio (1995-99)
1) It’s extremely disconcerting to see the World Trade Center used as a New York landmark
2) Small CRT monitors! High-waisted pants! Boxy suits! Trench coats everywhere!
3) Joey Buttafuco references don’t have the impact they once did.
4) Maura Tierney. Rawr. That is all.

dis-enabled replies? I had something to say to someone that I wasn’t ready to share with the class. necessarily.
I was wondering that myself. Tumblr seems to be having issues. Again. When it was Twitter, it was endearing. Why does this enrage me so?

BECAUSE IT’S CRAZY-MAKING....

I don’t follow football but I am in favor of a Green Bay vs. Pittsburgh Superbowl because what else does either town really have going for it.
Last night during the game one of the announcers mentioned the fact that some magazine (Forbes, maybe?) has voted Pittsburgh America’s Most Livable City three years in a row.
I might be biased, but, what?

I’m pretty sure that at any moment the red patterned carpet will give way, so I sit cross-legged on the edge of one of the double beds, ashtray in front of me, and I smoke.
