Good God? →
I took a class at St. Louis University called Evil & Demonic Christian Tradition. Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? Sounds like the thing you always hoped you’d get after 14 years of Catholic schooling, right? Like my younger self, you firmly believe you should sign up for this class immediately, don’t you? Well, resist, my darlings. The class, rather than covering exorcisms...

It seems a bit strange that patches are created for things quantified as “black ops” and yet, as this proves, they are. Patches, to me, just seem so Girl Scouty and wussy.

5 Awesome Movies Ruined By Last-Minute Changes |... →
The first - “I Am Legend” - makes complete sense. That movie was such a ridiculous let down at the end while showing such promise all along. It really was beautifully shot and I really did care for Will Smith’s character, but then the end just screwed it all up. Seeing this makes it much, much better, but doesn’t make up for the death of his really pretty doggy in the...

Enemies
thenelsontwins: I want to be able to make insane demands about who does my hair or shines my shoes. I want to be able to go to my agent (or have my agent come to me) saying “I want to make an ALBUM!” And have it happen, regardless of my level of musical talent. Actually, I want to go to my agent and say “I want to build a 20 story tall robot of Sugar Ray Leonard circa 1976 who will conquer...

ALLDRESSEDUP Nava linen dress | NET-A-PORTER.COM →
This could have been my economic stimulus check. I mean, $600 is nice, but a lilac sleeveless linen dress with double v-neck and satin waistband might have been more fun.
Cravey Train
I have an intense craving for cocktail sauce. It began while I was looking at the Pottery Barn website. I can see no correlation between the two. And yet this craving for cocktail sauce continues apace.
I Just Joined Netflix
I feel like I’ve just joined the last century.
Winner or Loser?
I just charged $235 to my AmEx so I could see Tom Waits. Does this make me absolutely insane or so flippin’ wise I should immediately donate my brain to science? Christ. Cirque du Soleil was cheaper and I think I might have been more excited about it. No, I was definitely more excited about it. I remember going to see shows when $35 tickets were exorbitant. And that included all the...

Were I a betting man, I would have bet against Tom Waits only selling tickets via Metrotix. This is why I stay out of Vegas.

Watchcaro: Innovative new way to eat a cupcake, via Tantek This is the goddamn cupcake sandwich! People, this isn’t new. When you’ve been eating cupcakes as long as I have, this is like second nature. Good-lookin’ cupcake, though.
The GYM
thenelsontwins: People actually go swimming here and then towel off with PAPER TOWELS!! What the fuck? No wonder this place is always out of paper towels. And why, dear jesus why are the restrooms dirtier than most bus station and gas station bathrooms? I have about reached my limit with this place. First, don’t use the bathroom in a gym. Just a general tip. Unless you’re one of...
