“I have to tell you that for months I have wondered how old you were, and I...”
– From a Flickr message Melissa Brown sent me a while ago. Mareen just asked me about my age, and it made me remember this message. I am 24 years old. I hope this makes you joyous, too!
“Well, this was the weird part….I never watch Vimeo videos or anything, my...”
– My acquaintance/friend Jodi in a facebook message. She saw this video Jakob made and wanted to know if I was the girl in the video… in the video.
decorations in the office
A friend of mine, who once managed a call center, told me it was amazing what putting up a few streamers did for productivity and moral. I didn’t believe him until a few years ago when it was getting close to Halloween. I was editor in chief of the college newspaper and decided to test the streamer theory. Results? It worked. So a few days ago, we put up some Christmas decorations in our...
noods
One package of Ramen noodles is never enough to satiate my hunger or my salt craving. Who am I trying to fool, bringing one package of Ramen to work today?
“I watched you guys singing “Frontier Psychiatrist” a few days ago on...”
– One of my flickr contacts, brewno.info. I love it when this happens!
Mom told me to be sure to ride carl’s horse before i put him in the barn.
Christmas Music
As far as Christmas music goes, I like the oldies. Dino, Bing Crosby, Brenda Lee, and Gene Autry are on my playlist so far.
get crunk, get sick sick sick
I messed up on Saturday night and drank way too much. Any weight gained from Thanksgiving was lost Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. I will be detoxing for a while now.
Has anyone not had a Shoney’s bear? Email me either way.

dream
Last night, Jakob Lodwick was showing me how he was constructing a physical map of his brain using note cards and yarn. It sort of looked like a tag web.
The notecards I can remember:
penis
Vimeo
AA
weed
tumblr
Julia Allison

The Shearing →
Maybe the best photo set I’ve seen on flickr, yet!

AA dream
I had an epic, extremely detailed dream which involved a nuclear bomb, a fat president in over-alls, a karate lesson, and Sam Reich — who I’ve never met, but I enjoy his blog.
It’s not uncommon for people I only know via the Internet to make appearances in my dreams.
it was nice
I talked to MTK for like, 4 hours last night. The majority of the time he kept trying to instigate phone sex. I think I’z in love. — katiea Miller, I will crack your fucking skull if I ever hear you talk that way to my sister.
I've changed my tumblr url to my name
I’m still fux0r deep down, though. And I’ll always have a fux0r in my blog header.
three oh fore 2837 vs 3837
Tonight I got a 1989 Batman quote text message from a person who was not in my new phone’s contact list. The last digits were 2837. Turns out it was my old friend Harrison. Turns out he’s the only friend of mine, other than Miller, to know every word to Batman. Also turns out their phone numbers are only one digit off. All three of us had a texting quote-off.
Re: old blogs
aa: I'll show you mine if you show me yours
dalas verdugo: see if you can find it
I came so close to committing female to male sexual harassment in the workplace just now. me: Hey, you look ssseee-sharp! him: I’ve got an interview. me: Screw ‘em sideways, tiger…. rarrrrarrrrrr. (The last part was just in my head.)
WatchOne of my favorite poems by my favorite (male) poet. I honestly hope these visual poems help poetry get back into the minds of the mainstream. I think I’ll write the current poet laureate, Charles Simic about this idea. — johnnyalias
It is 10:24 a.m. in the Air Capital City
And I’m watching Jurassic Park! I remember watching this movie over and over as a kid. I knew every line except one. At the beginning of the movie, the lawyer is talking to the guy in charge of mining the mosquitos in amber. The miner says the lawyer will never be able to get Dr. Grant to visit the island. When the lawyer asks why, the miner says, “Because Grant’s like...
Introspective Exercise
My friend Miller/MTK wrote this: For all those who read this, I’d appreciate if you reblogged and added a contribution: Think of something you’ve done in your life that you think you most deserve to be executed for, and that you’d also be comfortable sharing with the rest of the class: For myself, it would have to be the full breadth of my obsession with the Macarena back in the...
Incredible Audtiory Illusions : Holophonic Sound... →
— jendunlap The barber shop illusion is amazing. And if you listen to the matchbox sound, close your eyes and try to grab the box.
txt from MTK
Bad sneeze alert. I just sneezed and my hand looks like I just delivered a baby.
"Katie's new status message - shitting 1:23 PM"

WatchThe holiday season is here as far as I’m concerned. And I’m eagerly awaiting Martin and Si’s 2007 Christmas Special.
Typecasted
I applied for a dishwasher job at Radegast Biergarten near my apartment and was turned down for lack of experience. — secretenemyhideout HAHA! You know, I had a short stint working in the food business as a soda jerk and ice-cream scooper. Every once in a while I pulled dishwasher duty. It’s actually pretty fun if you like fast-paced work and the people you’re working with are cool.
The English language needs a singular gender-neutral pronoun. I don’t like making an individual plural in order to accomodate for sex. I think coming up with the pronoun will be the easy part. Changing language is going to be tricky.
WatchIf you come visit us in Wichita, this is just some of what you can expect. Fires, and me as your personal entertainment! Something is wrong with me if and when I’m not the center of attention.
“I miss you, but I get over it by looking at your blog…”
– Recent text message from my sister, Katie. This was a proud moment for me.
The world is screwed when people slow dance to Creep by Radiohead.
putting this out there
If anyone wants to hire me to jump out of a cake, I’d be more than happy to accomodate you. In fact, it’s sort of a dream of mine.
I have a pretty hardcore "thing" for Michael Palin
I love reading his old interviews. I’ll probably be making a trip to the library to rent the newest travel series he did. The last one I saw was from 1997. In high school, I sent him an autographed picture of myself. He sent a personalized one of himself back to me.
aa: Are you aware that you are looking for "whatever you can get" on facebook?
my college newspaper adviser: Yes. Is that a problem?
aa: HAHAHA
aa: What does your wife think of that?
my college newspaper adviser: I don't think she pays any attention to Facebook.
aa: That's really funny to me. Almost as funny as when you had "hit me baby one more time" for a ring tone.
aa: or was it Oops I did it again
my college newspaper adviser: It was Oops.
aa: cute
