An Open Letter To Carolyn

16 February 2010

Dear Carolyn,
My name is Jeff. I don’t think you know me. Certainly, I have no idea how you got my phone number. You might have misdialed, Carolyn. Someone might have even given you the number in error.  Whatever the genesis of the misunderstanding that occurred between us last night, Carolyn, I want you to know [...]

Victory!

1 February 2010

I have a few more UGC Week stragglers that I’ll be hitting today or tomorrow.
But right now, I have some Important News to share.
My iPod successfully synced with my laptop yesterday afternoon.
Most of you might not think this is a big deal. You have iPods and laptops and they connect with each other maybe once [...]

UGC Week – Iambic Pentameter

27 January 2010

Caroline wants to know, “Do you know any poems by heart?  Are there ones you were forced to memorize/ones you decided to pick up on your own?  If you do have these floating around in your head, what do you use them for?
If the memorization thing doesn’t apply, tell me about a poem you wish [...]

UGC Week: Respectfully, No

27 January 2010

Perry demands: “Describe various acquaintances as comic book characters without explicitly saying who each is supposed to be, leaving it as an exercise for the reader to determine the secret identity of each.”
This is fun for nobody. An interesting mental exercise, to be sure, but one that is preloaded with divisiveness.
First of all, there’s the [...]

UGC Week – Gerard

25 January 2010

It’s User-Generated Content Week – a week where I do nothing but post about the stuff YOU asked for.
Today’s topic comes from C: “Critique all your Gerard-given nicknames”
Once, my girlfriend convinced her friend Gerard that my name was Fernando. He believed this for twenty minutes, believed it, I am told, with an almost white-hot intensity. [...]

Karma

4 January 2010

For higher beings like God, Mother Earth, elemental spirits, the ghosts of your ancestors and/or former members of Menudo (whichever you worship personally), time isn’t linear.
Shit, is this a metaphysics blog now?
The only reason I bring this up is as a capstone to the New Year’s Eve of Many Pratfalls that I alluded to in [...]

Mishaplicious

2 January 2010

Because I’m always up for poking fun at myself, I have to point out that during my New Year’s Eve excursion to NYC (which was a blast), I:

Fell up a flight of stairs in the Port Authority.  Stairs, as my girlfriend is quick to point out, are my natural enemy, my opposite number. They are [...]

Low Content Mode

22 December 2009

Gang,
You probably won’t see a lot from be before the end of the year. I’m putting a Christmas mixtape up soon, and maybe some sort of seasonal post before Friday.  Friday Cover Songs is likely on hiatus until 2010, and I’m going to try and keep a few weeks in advance of it to keep [...]

Items of Note

24 November 2009

1. Item the first: Xeric Award-winning comics creator Box Brown is crowdsourcing the funding of his new project, called Everything Dies. I like everything of Box’s that I’ve read, especially his last book Love Is A Peculiar Type of Thing. I talked to Box a little bit at SPX earlier this year and he’s a [...]
