  • dan and potes love “america’s next top model”

    During the time I was supposed to be recapping, I chose instead to shirk my livelihood of writing about television by…writing about television. The following IM conversation certainly isn’t a great example of snappy writing, but I’m posting this here to make everyone understand that, 6000 words a week later, and I still want to…

  • twin_cities: Flowers

    Lisa writes: If this isn’t worth of a Pamie PSA ™, I don’t know what is. Today a coworker of mine had a thought to send flowers to a random couple waiting in line at SF city hall. He called a florist and they agreed to do it. He told them to deliver to any…

  • Just a Number…

    Cal had a bad morning. We took him to the vet and he got a shot and he’s fine. If there’s one reason to love Cal’s lack of short-term memory, it’s that he’s never bitter when he gets back from the vet. In fact, you can watch him forget it just during the drive home.…

    Relationships are based on compromise, and opposites attract for a reason. For example, if Krackel were my favorite Hershey’s Miniature and also the favorite of someone with whom I was coupled, who would eat all of the nasty Special Darks? And what’s so special about them? Besides their rancid taste, of course. I’ve asked this…

The…

  • twocap sounds much less impressive!

    One day — and one day very, very soon — I promise I’ll post something here that isn’t just a link to the recaps that kept me from writing something significant here. You dig? Aaaanyway, that day isn’t right now. But I did buy a new shower curtain today, and it’s beeeeeautiful. Not my favorite…

  • The Sixth Annual Valentine’s Day Poems Entry

    I want you to know that I’m at a Starbucks next to my night job and I came here early with my computer just to write these for you. Why? Because I’m clearly in love with you more than I love myself. Like Wynonna, “I forgot to put myself on the list!” Kick it. [db]…

  • Cool Kids

    I wrote a piece about the Oakland Book Drive for CaliforniaAuthors.com. I can’t say enough how proud I am of you guys.
