two dolla

There are about 870 closed freeways in the Twin Cities this weekend, so I decided to take the train into downtown Minneapolis last night to meet up with The Crew for drinks and the P.O.S. show. Logistically, it worked out on my way there, because the end of the train line also happens to be [...]

If you were to ever randomly stop by my apartment, you’d notice something that might seem a bit odd. No, it’s not the fact that my cupboard has more dog treats than it does people food and no, it doesn’t have anything to do with the fact that I have various name tags stuck to [...]

I had this neat idea that I’d post all the pictures and the lovely tales from my time out West last weekend, but it didn’t work out that way. Between catching up on sleep, doing laundry, working, catching a Lynx game, and making sure Riley doesn’t forget me, I haven’t had much time to do [...]

I’ve been busy! But here’s a recap, mainly so I don’t forget.
Friday: Most importantly, and thanks to Rick (and Brooke), I hit my fundraising minimum of $2200! Because of that, Jenni and I are all registered, sharing a tent, ready to walk our butts off. I, however, still need $2740 if I’m gonna be shaving [...]

Jenni made this, but I’m stealing it to post here, because it makes me laugh a lot. And will probably cause seizures at some point:

Today’s Jenni’s birthday. Happy Birthday, dude!!
I already wrote a sappy post about her earlier this year, and nobody (and I mean nobody!) deserves two sappy posts in one year.
We started celebrating last night with Greenies, the naked lady machine, and the slappy card game at Tony Jaros’, getting really grossed out at a horrible, horrible, [...]

My weekend started out responsible enough. Friday night, I took Riley to the dog park and then went textile shopping at IKEA. I keep laughing about shopping for textiles, but that’s what I did! I also bought some supplies for a BBQ on Saturday, including a cooler that I’d been needing forever. My only frivolous [...]

I realized this weekend that I’d been neglecting my weekend wrap-ups that I enjoy so much.
Friday: There were five us in the office for most of the afternoon. The other 25ish people in our department were nowhere to be found. It made for a long afternoon. On the drive home, I started stressing about the [...]

I start out the day crabby, like very crabby. Everyone in the world was making me mad and I did not know why. And to be honest, I still don’t know why, but I hate it when I get that angry. I’m like the Incredible Hulk, except I don’t turn that shade of green. But [...]

Up until about 8pm yesterday, I had a regular ol’ awesome Friday. And things got a little more awesome.
I drove over to Cindi’s, because she was giving me a How to Ride the Bus lesson. There have been a few times when a bus would have been option, but I know nothing about catching, riding, [...]
