T.J. and I just ate at Sushi Park (50% off!), so I figured I’d fill these puppies out while I digest a scrumptious meal of avocado rolls, shitake rolls, and kimchee rolls. God bless kimchee.
1. What was your biggest accomplishment this year? Well, I’ve managed to remain practically jobless since October of 2001. Damn skippy [...]

Oh boy. My parents spent the morning wrapping presents in secret, as if my two brothers and I (all of us between the ages of 16 and 24) would suddenly cry out at the discovery that it had been them all along, and not Santa. Either way, we all slept till 11AM, and then wandered [...]

I have gasoline on my hands and I can’t find a toothbrush or a place to store my contact lenses.

Right now I’m listening to Nico’s “Chelsea Girl,” which I received off my wishlist this weekend from an extremely giving and kind gritmedia reader. Thank you. It is, of course, amazing. I have some sort of predilection for music featuring woeful string sections, so this fits nicely into the collection. Though it is nearly [...]

In keeping up with the latest trend, Kevin over at whygodwhy ran into his ex-girlfriend recently, and lived to write about it. Now, why can’t I be as scathing and well put-together as he is?
On another note, some beautiful and kind soul purchased for me a little item from my Amazon wishlist — without me [...]
