About Me

It's funny you should ask. I was raised inside a pocket just big enough for a paperback. But I am really glad I did it. I don't let just any rock band crash at my house...reside in my quarters. Please step away before you lower the seat.

My Interests

Rolling around in the fortune I have built for myself making earrings and selling them at a price above where the marginal cost and marginal revenue curves intersect. Suckers.

I'd like to meet:

My bad angel. Still an angel. That's a problem.

Music:

Anything honkytonk. Oh and maybe this one band called something like Shock Nagasaki.

Books:

The Giving Tree

Remember back to the summer of 2006?

It is times like these that I can't help but wonder what the world was like before myspace blogs. What the cavemen did to mark the passing of summer and prepare themselves for the coming semester is f...

It is decidely so.

It is decidedly so. No, I am not just quoting the "magic 8-ball's" response to my question about whether I am doomed to a life of serving tables. Actually, I am quoting myself. (Can you do that?...

There is a lizard in all of us

Growing up, I had a pet salemander that lived for 8 years. My brothers and I found it in the wild, at my great-aunt-and-uncles' farm in western Minnesota. We took it home with us, promising all along ...

They sure do grow up fast

Whew. Big sigh. Another year under my belt. The books have been read. Then burned. The bridges have been built. Then burned. All in all, a pretty successful year at Macalester. Monumentous events lik...

Buddah ain't got nothin'

Tonight I refused to fill the ice tray in my dorm room freezer. Tonight I took a deep breath and watched the olympics instead of doing research. Tonight, I was reborn. It's all part of my latest atte...

A letter home

Dear Mom, College is great! The professors are amazing and while my classes will be a lot of work, I look forward to embracing the challenge. I am so glad I am at Macalester! Oh, and you wouldn'...

Let me introduce myself to you

I was asked recently why I hadn't blogged lately and while I enjoyed my witty response about being glued to the TV prior to christimas in every spare moment so that not a single toy would be forgotten...

Wedding Bells?

Up until now I thought it silly to plan my life around marrying a TV character and living happily ever after. Recently, however, my infatuation with Dr. Gregory House M.D. has become overwhelming and ...

Thanks for the rebirth, George.

Well, it's official. My chance at getting appointed to replace Alan Greenspan as Fed Chairman is ruined. Georgie appointed Ben Bernanke and basically handed him the reins of the economy and ...
