Listen, When All Of This Around Us’ll Fall Over, I Tell You What We’re Gonna Do
Many of you have no doubt seen various versions of the “100 Things To Do Before You Die” posts roaming about on The Internets in the past week or so, one of which activity-laden list was written by one Mrs. Maggie Mason, and subsequently picked up by other awesome blog-owners like this one and this [...]
Reasons To Love Him, #18: He Uses Official Forms To Declare His Romantic Intent
Chris sent this to me a few Mondays ago:
This was my response to his, for President’s Day, as it was:
Go here to read his or here to read mine (larger, online versions), and here to send your own.
In other less elephant dung related news: Jenny! will be here in t-minus seven hours! and counting. Hence [...]
Everything? OK! I’ll talk! In third grade, I cheated on my history exam; in fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max’s toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play.
The following post and subsequent interview between the lovely Mrs. Carolyn Bahm and myself is part of an ongoing project living on Neil’s site known as “The Great Interview Experiment.”
I was overwhelmed for six days and seven nights after reading the post and subsequent comments surrounding the aforementioned experiment, and finally, after much pacing and [...]
Because January Is For Lists

do something relevant.
do something challenging.
volunteer more often.
carve out writing time for myself daily.
I want to think:

I want to [...]
Portraits Of A Commute
I see her almost everyday, walking briskly from a bustling downtown square, headed slightly west, her coffee in her left hand, a portfolio in her right. Sometimes she has an umbrella, but most of the time she is nearly running, seemingly almost to her destination, head down, eyes focused on not tripping nor slowing her [...]
Resolute
Ah, yes, now! is the time of year for being exceedingly determined about accomplishing the previously unaccomplished, about completing that which seems impossible without the gentle poking and prodding of goals staring us in the face via our own handwriting written decisively on carefully selected paper once every year.
Lofty ambitions like say, for example: eating [...]

An Exercise In Maturity, Take One-Hundred:
Excerpt from an email I sent Chris today:
08.18.04! That’s when you started Lateshow.org, which wasn’t called “Lateshow” at all at the time, and is now called something else entirely, but anyway, you know what I mean.
Which means! (drumroll, please!) that my site is officially OLDER THAN YOUR SITE, by two-ish months. (Do you like my [...]
Thin Lines
Someone once said, “There is thin line between love and hate peace and war obscurity and greatness a really ugly site design and a lovely one.”
I am herein wondering: Which is mine? And I promise you I am not posting this because I’m needing a head pat or an ego boost. (Although, who am I [...]
In The Spirit Of Wednesday Nights: Two Haikus For Heidi Klum
Of sequins and fleece:
Sarah Jessica Parker,
will you sign my sock?
She licked her fabric;
