Mom emailed yesterday. She wrote that Spanky (my sis) is working at the greenhouse, The Boy (my bro) is finished with finals, and the dogrun in the backyard has now become “the proverbial swamp sponge” and is filled with poo.
Yes, she made a point to mention that the dog shit in the [...]

Question: How many artsy fartsy coffee-house kids can you fit in a one bedroom apartment on a Friday night?
Friday was the Back Alley Dirt Fashion Show, and it was incredible. At this party there were kids with afros and dreadlocks, kids with precarious piercings, kids with faces slashed with black charcoal. [...]

So I watched the Dawson’s 100th episode today. As usual, after watching an episode of my favorite drama, I became nostalgic and introspective. I know it’s just TV, but those kids really get to me. And it’s always been that way. This is geeky, but the whole Dawson-Joey back and forth [...]

I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I totally left M&M’s on my dirty floor in hopes that my friend would eat them. Yeah, SORM came by and taught me how to catch food by tossing it in my mouth. In the process of learning, about 20 mini M’s fell on the carpet of [...]

I have a few announcements to make:
First, I am naked! And not only am I wearing just my birthday suit, but also it is a clean birthday suit. I’m off to spend the evening with the Asians in my life, so I must get clean and fabulous. You know those kids always [...]

I can finally breathe. I’m taking these big, full, breathy gulps of morning air. It’s almost cool in my 12X14 cubby, because I’ve got my fan on full, and the sun hasn’t hit my window yet. It’s almost like meditation. Yes, but I can’t close my eyes and visualize Buddha, as [...]

Oh man, has anybody else seen the greyhound commercial where the couple at eating at a Japanese restaurant? There is this greyhound dressed in a little chefs outfit and he is grilling their dinner and talking to the couple. Just one question: how is a greyhound somehow Japanese? And how does [...]

So, my brother called me “geek nuts” today, and I think I might deserve it.
I have been playing Bejeweled for two hours straight - not because I like Bejeweled that much, but just because I can. Or more likely even, just because i’m too lazy to find the tv remote. In fact, [...]

Do you know why the nomadic hunters, the Pardis, wish to align themselves with the Hindu majority in India? Do you know how the majority came to be constructed in the wake of partitioned India?
Do you care at all?
Not even a little?
Not even a tiny bit?
Yeah, me [...]

This morning I am a Grogosaurus.
It is 9 am and despite my many hours of sleep, I am groggy. I thought a shower would wake me up. So I walked toward my usual shower nook - the right back. However, before entering said shower, I was sure to stop at [...]
