  • dan checks in from the road

    I’m sitting in a hotel in midtown in the city that I live in. I’ve already charged over $50 to my room, because the people who put me here can afford it. Excuse me while I go mail some pointless letters to friends I haven’t seen in a while. After that, maybe I’ll order a…

  • New Entry: Dear Michael Jackson.

    I made myself feel guilty. So here’s a new entry. It’s more of a letter to an old boyfriend. I’m feeling a little conflicted, as you can see.

  • Allison is what she hates

    Miss “Blogs Suck” has a journal with blog blood and bones. She makes it look so easy. So easy, in fact, that she’s now Employee of the Month. One of my favorite things about Al is how she can get those she loathes to embrace her like family.

  • The Soap Is Good

    Weetabix testifies to the power of The Soap. I wasn’t kidding around. It’s good shit.

  • we got out in time

    Dan, it looks like we dumped Friendster before it grabbed us into its cult clutches. People are finding it impossible to break up with now because they removed the option. [thanks, Jon, for the link]. I’m sorry I’ve been gone. I have a good excuse. I’m pitching a project at the same time I have…

  • Tarzan Recap Up

    Find out why I had to stay up until three last night. This show sucks. But it’s fun to hate. I watched it and then immediately recapped it. Sometimes it’s best to get the pain over with like ripping off a Band-Aid. I’m blogging on a break from my night job. Ah, it’s like old…

  • scalzi’s book is out and I need your punctuation advice.

    You can buy it here. Do you think they meant to misspell “stupidity”? Also, my friend Laura and I spent a good ten minutes on Saturday debating the “? or “, If you’re quoting a word but you’re using it in a exclamation, and the word doesn’t have an exclamation as in — That sign…

  • Are You a Book Snob?

    Stephen King will get his Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters this week. Time Magazine thinks it’s time we stop with the book snobbery. Do you divide books as either worthy or trashy? Reading literature and having a damn good time had become quietly but decidedly uncoupled. And yet we think of this state…

  • The Future of Libraries

    I now have a large proportion of librarians out there in pamie.com land. Jessa sent me this link from the Philadelphia Weekly that might get you riled up enough to write letters to the editor. Shh! People Are Trying To Compute!

  • Barflies

    Something was noticably different as we drove up to my friends’ regular neighborhood bar last night. “Did the bar change owners?” I asked as we pulled into the parking lot. “No,” Hilary said. “Why?” “The sign on the front says ‘Dirty Sanchez‘.” “What?” “That’s what it says.” “Is it a banner?” “No, I think it…
