I’m back. I moved last Friday, and then I didn’t have the Interweb at home. On Friday night, I corrected that when I got RoadRunner installed, so I’m all up in your Internets. I live alone now. It’s weird. I’m not sure how much I like it — it’s probably just that I’m not used [...]

On the plane yesterday on the way home from North Carolina, I finished “Love is a Mix Tape” by Rob Sheffield. It’s a sweet memoir written by Sheffield, a Rolling Stone writer, about his relationship with his now-deceased wife.

I’m not enjoying things right now. I truly am not. I wouldn’t read on…
I went to the Brewers game with S., K., and P. yesterday. I was incredibly uncomfortable all game. S. knows I really like him, and he was giving me the really strong just-friends-vibe … case in point: He asked me if I’d [...]

I just got off the phone with K., and I felt a blog post coming on strong. So, here, I sit, listening to the new Death Cab for Cutie single, “I Will Possess Your Heart,” writing in bed and wondering about the state of humankind, especially boykind.

I didn’t know how to answer that. But it got [...]

When Netflix said it was going to start streaming movies on its Web site, I was like, “I’ll never use that … ever.” Now, I love it. Have you tried it? I wouldn’t sit in front of my desktop computer, watching a movie, but I can use my laptop in bed and watch. Last night [...]
