ROBOT DANCE →
bumpoo:I made this track about 4 years ago, but my friend recently made an illustration inspired by it so I thought I’d make a page for it! This is a sudden favorite. Awesome song, Si!

“…I remember holding you and everyone saying to support your head, but that...”
– excerpt from my birthday message to my sister, Katie.
smoke breaks
I’m not a smoker. I puff on cigars occasionally, but not cig’rittes. I am considering taking up puffing on cig’rittes once it warms up so that I can spend 15 min. outside every morning and afternoon for smoke breaks. I’ll puff on one cig’ritte per break. Or maybe just hold it in my lips and see how long I can get the ash before it falls on my shoes. Why don’t I...
dog naming
It seems like more people in movies name their dogs Dakota than in real life.
in the motorcycle market
This spring I will be looking to buy a motorcycle. If anyone has done this before and would like to give me some advice, I would appreciate it. I will be looking online and around Wichita, KS. Right now I’m pretty sure I want a used Honda Rebel, but if you have a personal favorite that you think I’d like better, let me know. Keep in mind: I have never driven a motocycle, but have...
“I know it’s insane to be talking about this now, but sometimes, I...”
– From McSweeney’s Short Imagined Monologues. An Inarticulate, Self-Consciously Ironic Voice of His Twentysomething Generation Makes an Opening Statement for His Client in a Corporate-Fraud Case. I think I’ve had the lack of authenticity conversation every year, twice a year since 2002....
I was on Valleywag.com and didn't even know it →
Sox let me know, but I missed it!
“#6 most desired for marriage
#10 most famous
#10 merriest
#229 kindest
#230...”
– The good folks known as my facebook-friends have rated me. Apparently, I’m happy, but not very nice, and if I ask you to marry me, you’ll more than likely say yes — even though I am so uncool. My facebook-friends are purveyors of bullshit.
Introduction to Tea for a Reformed Coffee Drinker
oats: My friend Andrea Allen asked me to write about the teas that I drink. She wants to give up coffee in favor of tea. I used to drink a lot of coffee, but now I average only three cups per week. So here is my introduction to teas for a reformed coffee drinker. While I don’t drink these anymore, all of these teas are available in tea bags at your local grocery store. Expect to pay about $3.50 or...
“I need to see the middle parts. The nether regions.”
– Ian Lee on the US States he hasn’t visited. The middle parts can be fun, too! I’ll show you the best of our nether regions.

“large badge on the front of his or her robes. For one wild moment HarrySit down,...”
– The body text of a viagra-esque spam email that slipped past gmail. I’m actaully really wanting to know more about Harry and Moody. What’s this map? Anything that says, “for one wild moment” really gets my attention.
all left-handed people think they're special
I’ve seen two left-handed doctors wearing their watches on their left wrist in two days. One doctor was real, the other was an actor playing a doctor. Maybe it’s a doctor thing. I’m left-handed and if I were to wear a watch, it would go on my right wrist, like we’re supposed to wear watches. Those doctors (real and fake) no longer have the right (HA!) to consider...
current situation in Panera
I had an hour to burn before picking Carl up from work, so I came to Panera to suck up their free wi-fi and watch some House. Well there was (and still is) this middle-aged lady sitting in the sweet spot. She is in a corner with a wall to her back and an outlet at her feet. She’s on this Nebraska Corn Huskers computer and is loudly talking on her cellphone. She keeps staring smugly at me,...
“People have to start realizing they can’t just act shitty and think there...”
– Carl talking about the woman who left him a voicemail. It used to be if you were written about in the newspaper in a bad way, your reputation was damaged. Now, all you have to do is leave a voicemail message that someone decides to post on the internet.
This guy loves thesaurus.com
“Vimeo is pretty much as annoying as its founder. From the smarmy landing page headline “You’re New, Aren’t You?” to the fawning, sycophantic community that posts endless “Nice one!” comments under every crummy shoelace tying contest video. Vapid content-deprived video is still crap, even in HD. People say it’s a “pretty” site, but to me...
My boyfriend, Carl, “pretended like he...
what's going on with Tumblr in regards to Vimeo?
sweett:every time i try to “Like It” from my dashboard, it takes me to the Facebook sign up. It’s working fine for me. I just tested it out, giving a fake like to a clip. Now I’m going to have to break its heart.
