All of my gifts & souvenirs are laying out on the dining room table for display. It's over, I guess. The sadness and disorientation are overwhelming, but I think it will not l...

Generally speaking.

My friend Hannah coined the above expression to describe her feelings about a romantic prospect, but it works pretty much all the time. So, um, it's 1am on Monday, and I'm flying home tomorrow. I have packed everything except my CD wallet and my...

Picnic dinner at Walhalla It was pretty sweet

Today was not THAT bad, but it was probably the worst-for-the-stupidest-reason day of my life, I would say. It's a little convoluted, I don't know quite where to start. One thing that's important to know, however, is that the smallest paper deno...

Mah plump self making pretzels of late

Sometimes, you just come home from frisbee practice and there's a jazz festival on your street. Especially likely to happen when you're wearing a sweaty trucker hat backwards and kinda smell. Other non-news: When I move out of my room, I have t...

What can I say? Fooses like dead stuff.

This post is going to be all pictures, because there isn't really much to say about the content of those pictures. That said, by the time I finish this post, I'm sure there will be plenty of text. Like that. And that. And that. Just kidding, ...
