My Halloween costume was apparently a premonition; of sorts. We’ll get to that, but first things first. On Saturday night, a few of us abandoned the district for the greener sprawls of Kensington, MD. It was the last night of a stage production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Patrick was both stage manager [...]

no, i insist
Posted in evil-doers unite, lost in translation, out and about, please remove my muzzle, ranting and raving on November 11, 2009 | 16 Comments »
“No, I insist.” I say this three different ways: 1. No, I insist. 2. No, really, I insist. 3. Doitforchristssake. I’ll explain how this works. Each is situational. No, I insist. My momma didn’t raise no fool. Well, obviously she did. This blog’s archives are all the proof of that you need. But at least [...]

I turned 27 yesterday. It had been one whole year since my last birthday. One whole year. It felt like less. This last year has gone by fast. How fast? [insert adverb] fast. And that’s fast. Until last year, there really was only a small circle of people who knew when my birthday was. I [...]
here’s looking at you, kids
Posted in homelife, not a boy yet not a man, out and about, shamery, tagged Hall & Oates, Home Improvement, i can no longer ask you to pet my Chia, Movember, my face is like an episode of Northern Exposure, to beard or not to beard on November 2, 2009 | 29 Comments »
Well, not you, kids. I know I often call you “kids.” But today I mean my facial hairs; aka neck-sprouts; aka my-stache support system. My beard is gone. And I better learn how to face it. It’s a weird time to be beardless. At least two dudes1 with blogs of the highest repute — 12minds [...]
my newest invention: the bathroom
Posted in DC, evolution, out and about on September 22, 2009 | 22 Comments »
It’s not like I live in a metropolitan area or anything. I mean, everyone knows DC’s reputation for being the boondocks.¹ We’re unimpressed with sewage treatment and as for running water, well, we prefer our water wellish, stagnant and chock full of encephalitis-carrying ‘squitos. So I should not have been surprised, on my walk home [...]
you are not my hair

Dear DC metro area, If you think I’m hairy, and you wanna groom me, come on, city, let me know.¹ I am not hairy. And I don’t mean “I am not hairy” like a creepy guy who insists “I’m not that hairy; my mom says I just got visited a lot by the Hair Fairy [...]

(This is a true story and so I tried my best not to be unnecessarily graphic, but if real blood loss isn’t your thing…) I was looking right at him but almost didn’t notice when he fell. It just happened so fast. We were walking home, headed east on New York Avenue, just about a [...]

Despite what you may have heard,¹ DC’s metro isn’t actually the worst transportation system ever conceived. Yes, sometimes it seems that administratively WMATA would like to vie for that title, but normally you can get from point A to point B (even if you have to stop at point Q and wait for a WMATA [...]

So two out of three ain’t bad, unless we’re talking about places that serve food and what happens two out of three times is miserable disaster. I didn’t go to be impressed. I didn’t go with very high expectations. But who cares why I went? The point is that, not long after I left, I [...]

On Saturday morning, I’m at the gas station. I don’t have a car, though. It’s the closest place that sells Gatorade and we have a hankering for some lemon lime-flavored electrolytes. I ask the attendant behind the glass — yep; it’s that kind of place — for the beverage of champions. He goes to get [...]
