  • good and bad conversation of the day

    GOOD: Me: I mean, yes. I suck at pool, but it’s fun to finally have, like, an actual hobby. My editor: You know I have a pool table in my house. Me: You have a what table in the where now? My editor: It’s on a little balcony that overlooks the large-screen TV. My writing…

  • here’s what i get for bragging…

    I just got my parking spot moved. I swear, I hadn’t said anything to anyone about how awesome it was to have a parking spot. One late night confession, and look what happens! Now I’m tandem! Tandem! Which one of you has the Voodoo doll?

  • High Class Problems

    It’s late, but I’ve got The Insomnia, so here I am, writing another entry. Will the wine work, or will the writing work? One of these things should get me sleepy. I’ve got work in the morning. Um. So. I ran into my friend Alex at the store last night. We went to college in…

  • Weezer: Pinkerton

    Song: “Across the Sea” I know, I know. Any excuse to talk about Weezer. But I swear, this is the song on my iPod! I promise! I was just singing it.

  • first LA job stories, you say?

    Rule #1 on the long list of rules governing when it’s a good time to leave New York, the city you grew up in, and move across the country for the first time: try, if you can, not to complete that move on September 4, 2001. Your first week will be bad. Your second week…

  • do not curb appraise

    Running through my neighborhood today, I passed a sign outside a house for sale. Underneath the three signs with phone numbers and information about the realtor, there was a tiny sign dangling from the bottom, on hooks. It said: “I’M GORGEOUS INSIDE.” In Los Angeles, even the houses need validation.

  • Green Day: American Idiot

    song: “Give Me Novacaine” Green Day is the boyfriend you have your sophomore year of high school, the one who likes to talk about poop and thinks it’s funny to push you to the ground and fart on your head. You hate Green Day, but you love Green Day. And one day you decide you…

  • Look How Pretty!

    Sweet, smart, beautiful Anna Beth Chao made this pretty website with her two bare hands. So tell her she’s wonderful, because I couldn’t be happier with pamie.com’s new digs. Also, I’d like to give a very special thanks to my boy JD at Myrmid Hosting, who keeps this enormous site up and running when all it wants…
