Or “It’s A Popular Topic For Musicians, I Guess” .: Muxtape is a nifty website. Its barebones, minimalistic design is simple and efficient, and after fiddling with it for four hours I’m inescapably addicted. Something about the site compels a person to make as many mixtapes as they can. Here are my most recent three. […]

Or “Hobbes Brings Home A Friend” .: Last night I came home to an empty apartment. I had left Hobbes outside earlier in the day and never brought him in. Our front and back doors lack a cat flap, and Hobbes does not respond to any calls or cues, so the only feasible way to […]

Or “That Eminently Useful Piece of Bathroom Cloth” .: It’s that magical time of year again: May 25th, known to hoopies and froods the galaxy wide as Towel Day. A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitch hiker can have. Partly it has great practical value – you can […]

Or “Great, Good, Good, Okay, Fine, Meh, Ugh” .: Robin thinks he sees a pattern: albums begin well, and end weakly.

I admit this is partially due to laziness: it’s easier to identify with characters and settings when they’re imagined by an author who has all the same access to information as I do. […]

Or “What Will Cody Be Doing These Next Three Months?” .: A good many friends of mine are graduating as I type these words. This leaves me in a rather impoverished setting for the remainder of the summer; however, I’m not one for sulking when there’s excitement and adventure to be had just over yonder. […]

Or “Don’t Piss Me Off, Or I’ll Imagine You Pissing Someone Else Off” .: A somewhat recent development: whenever somebody does something that affects me in less than desirable ways, I become understandably hurt, enraged, annoyed, or sad for a few minutes. Then, I imagine how the scenario might appear to an outside observer as […]

Or “Exploiting the Asshole Tendencies of Your Friends” (view larger) .: You might think this cannot possibly work, but I have a standing offer of $100 to drink a six-pack of beer of my choice.
any day you survive the Dooner treatment is a good day as if watson would leave his house in improperly polished footwear a true scientist will always disregard the risks in the pursuit of knowledge every sentence gets its own paragraph fighting feeding fleeing and not tonight honey i'm tired how am i supposed to type one handed now i'm popping open a bottle of synthohol when i publish I can see you fouling up the air tonight - oh lord i don't even know if dogs have caeca I sleep with three socks marketers developed this ace years ago but kept it sleeved for when the inevitable lull in ketchup demand strikes now they're going to watch even more fox news one solution is to have two dachshunds so that they wind up licking each other instead people would be much kinder if robots would sort them by wavelength plus now everywhere I go I know how to do a maxi prep spend the extra thirty bucks for a better motel surfing is just another way of knowing they can't just pour a curb this time the falling apple impedes science turns out they weren't poisonous what am i ever going to use this for what if he prefers to do it oz-like women have it not necessarily harder but certainly creepier
