Bodies: (My Long Review of) The Exhibition.
(Please note: I recreated all the graphics used in this post except for “Bodies: the Exhibition�?. They may not read exactly word for word with what was actually there.) On Friday night, Toby Joe and I went to see Bodies: The Exhibition. I was told we’d find the exhibit on the second floor of a…

You So Can Buy My Love, Mr. Dempsey.
I just hit an all time low. It seems that I made the mistake of admitting to the designers I work with that I have an unexplainable crush on Patrick Dempsey. Oh, to have him offer to pay my dry-cleaning bill after spilling wine on mother’s white leather fringe jacket circa 1981. Teenage date- rape…

My Latest Stunt (Insert Drumroll)
On Tuesday, I sent a batch of Bush T-Shirts over to the Air America staff, namely Rachel Maddow. I considered walking them over, as I am literally a few blocks from their offices, but I didn’t want to come off as creepy. So I mailed a box to them and a little letter, too. The…

Bad Art
This weekend, during our downtime, in between the previewing of movies, the making of dinners and the designing of logos, Toby Joe and I wrote 1.5 songs on our guitars. One of them I find to be rather catchy and I’m excited to try and record it as soon as I figure out how. Then…

Beacon
Toby Joe and I took Friday off and headed up to Beacon, New York to check out the town. (We’ve been toying with moving upstate so we can make hundreds of babies and adopt thousands of cats and drink honey and eat tea and grow stuff.) Beacon is about an hour north on Metro North.…

Ludacris? Yes.
Pennsytuckey surprises me. The Intelligent Design idea has been nixed. ‘We are all for it being discussed, but we do not want to see it in biology class,’ said Judy McIlvaine, a member of the winning slate. ‘It is not a science.’ Only barely not even close to the topic, Toby Joe and I had…

The Message.
Yesterday, Soung, Kim and I met at Enid’s for brunch. The three of us are Penn State Graphic Design alumni. It had been nearly 4 years since I last saw Kim. Even though I don’t see her very often, she’s the type of person I feel privileged to know. Kim works for a massive cellular…

Blue Sunday
Soung just left. Sometimes silence is so loud. Katrina’s name came up over the weekend. And seeing Soung again brought back the cold reality that I won’t ever see Katrina again. I hadn’t realized how much I link the two of them together. I met Soung because of Katrina. Had that not happened, my life…

Dealing With Assholes
Today, I have an appointment with my gastroenterologist. I didn’t really think much of it at first. I figured I’d go in, tell him a few things about my eating habits, my heartburn, and the side affects I have had from drugs like Prevacid and Nexium. But then Toby Joe told me that the doctor…

My Cats Are Totally Punk Rock.
They are called Soft Paws and the first time I saw them I almost went apeshit on the person whose cat it was because I thought she painted her cat’s toenails. Ummm, no. They are glued on, Lee Press-on style. (The glue smells the same and everything. Not that I would have any way of…
