In which I’m so boring I did laundry AND cleaned my room AND went to bed early last night. [dropcap]L[/dropcap]ast weekend was the first annual Walla Walla Guitar Festival. It was a raging success, especially considering this was its first year; we sold out and everything! I had a fantastic time, and seriously loved having […]
In which there is a recipe that takes the place of potato-based, flour-thickened chowder. Behold, one of my favorite meals of all time: the humble soup ‘n’ sandwich combo. My version is a creamy veggie chowder with a creamy brie-and-avocado sandwich.
In which I selflessly offer these observations to the innerwebs for science! On alcohol, blood sugar, and adipose tissue: Step 1. Drink alcohol literally every day for months on end. Step 2. Get the flu and stop drinking ’cause you’re sick. Step 3. Gain two inches around your waist without otherwise changing your diet. On […]
In which the universe thinks I’m a dude. [dropcap]L[/dropcap]ast autumn, as I was riding through Whitman campus in the dark, an elderly gentleman spied me and hollered, “Young man!

Quitting is pretty easy, really. You just screw up your self […]
In which there’s a video. Apropos of nothing is this amazing Polaroid video! Don’t even get me started on the soundtrack. It’s, like, Star Trek-er-iffic.
In which there’s a trip to the clinic. [dropcap]T[/dropcap]hursday night at the gig, someone asked me if I had walking pneumonia. Today I googled it, and yeah, I have all the symptoms — but it was already Friday afternoon and I didn’t get the impression I was going to drop dead from it and sure, […]
In which I go through such absurdity with women customers sometimes. [dropcap]P[/dropcap]hone rings. I answer. “Tech support. May I help you?” Woman’s voice, in full-on baby talk mode: “I have an iPhone. I can’t send mail.” Me: “Oh, yeah, I’ve heard of that. Apple seems to assume that all outgoing mail servers use SSL, but […]
In which I think my world is weird. [dropcap]A[/dropcap]n advertisement outside a gas station: Image of two plastic bottles of soda. Price of $2.50 above them. Text says, “Wow!” The image is printed in full color on cardboard that will be thrown away shortly. The product is sugar water in plastic bottles. The sweetener is […]
