I’ve started looking at apartment listings for real now that the Lad and I have only a month to find our dream home. Surfing craigslist every day with a very limiting set of parameters to work with is like commuting to work on MUNI. You recognize most of the people around you from the previous … Continue reading

If you’re cool then you probably already know about the Kingdom of Loathing. But if you’re less cool, like me, then you may have yet to discover this wonderfully wacky waste of your work time. In the KoL, I am a disco bandit named Didofoot and I am wearing bugbear pants and a ravioli hat … Continue reading

Normally I would just move away from her, but suddenly twenty-four years of speaking quietly and smiling politely and squeezing myself into a tiny space on MUNI so that the guy next to me can sprawl out came bubbling … Continue reading
Annual Report: Barbecue with Dan Rather
Watching Clinton on 60 Minutes last night was a lot like seeing an old boyfriend years after you’ve broken up. Seeing his face glisten with intelligence and honest Arkansas sweat I was overwhelmed by nostalgia, and suddenly I didn’t care that he’d been bombing Iraq behind my back for our entire relationship. I just wanted … Continue reading
