little danger’s backup
In: Reviews
17 Feb 2010Ever since I got Little Danger the iPod Touch, I’ve been nothing short of obsessed with it. Games, apps, contacts, mp3s — I’ve pretty much decided to keep everything on it. Well, maybe not everything, but close. Now that iDrive has included the iPhone (which may as well mean the iPod Touch) in their free [...]
family night at the (not really a) bar
17 Dec 2009Tonight, mi familia and I had a date involving dropping off Christmas donations and hamburgers full of molten lava cheese, thanks to the fine folks at Matt’s Bar.
Jenni, Matt, Stephanie and I had adopted a family via The Aliveness Project. Since Jenni and Matt are somewhere in the Southern Caribbean right now, I volunteered to [...]
boo for joe’s garage
18 Dec 2008A month or so ago, I’d purchased a $25 gift certificate from restaurants.com for Joe’s Garage. A few years ago, Joe’s Garage used to be a weekly stomping ground of mine when I worked my call center job at Best Buy. We’d drink our customer service blues away and have a good time. Since I [...]
iron barley and the ballistic elvis
7 Dec 2008When were in the St. Louis area over Thanksgiving, we headed for a day of touristy type fun in St. Louis proper. Since it was nearing lunch time before five of us got around to leave the house, we opted for stopping for some lunch before sight-seeing at The Gateway Arch. Our lunch spot of [...]
super america breakfast café
14 Nov 2008A month or so ago, I really wanted breakfast. Since it was during the week, there was no way in hell I was going to get up and cook breakfast at home. Cereal, for me, is not really a breakfast option, because if I’m going to put forth some effort to eat a meal, it [...]
bright lights, big city at the illusion theater
In: Reviews
19 Oct 2008One thing I’ve always meant to do since moving to Minneapolis (or the Twin Cities in general) is to actively participate in the theater… as an audience member, of course. This past summer, The General and I went to a couple of Fringe Festival shows, which marked my first visit to any type of Twin [...]
Like a good Minnesotan, I read Diablo Cody’s book a while back. I looked through my archives, but realized I must have read it prior to Fake Tits™ from my former job finding my blog, and then me taking everything down and becoming not too sure how to put it all back up. (Oh so [...]
restaurant miami
4 Jan 2008Maybe a year ago, we’d heard mention of a new bar that opened called Restaurant Miami.
Restaurant Miami is Uptown’s hot new spot that embraces the glitz and glam of the Miami nightlife scene (circa 1983). Nothing was lost in the transport of time, from the extravagance, debauchery, socialization, and neon that epitomized the time.
It’s one [...]
britney’s blackout cd: my awesome review
In: Reviews
25 Oct 2007I have obtained a copy of Britney Spears’ new CD. Basically, she and I were hanging out after Parenting 101 class, and she offered it to me and asked me to give it a listen. She took the Swiss army knife away from her kids and gave me the CD. (This may all be a [...]
I missed reading books in the whole month of February, but made up for it in March by reading four books. I finished two of those over the span of an eight day cruise. Who knew reading on a lawn chair in the middle of the ocean could be so soothing? It’s a lot better [...]
