A Progression
It started out with the ambition of simply updating my website (“i’ll do it all the time!” -me, a year ago) which lead to me wanting to redesign it, which has brought me to disaster.

Conspiracy Theory
Clearly all of the vintage dress sellers on Etsy are trying to send me into a dress buying frenzy.
Well it hasn’t worked! Yet.
Attempt at a Book Review
Tried to express my dislike for The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and immature exclamations like, “Woman are more than vaginas with legs, Diaz!” and “Oscar is a horny baby.” kept appearing on the screen. I’m working on it.

Jenny > Yenny > Lenny > Leonard > Leo
Progression of nick-names at work.
“I really thought Leonard was the end of the line, but then, ‘Leo.’ I’m so mad i didn’t think of that sooner, i’ve been missing out on so many opportunities to make Leonardo DiCaprio/Titanic jokes”

Why I'll be sad if American Apparel Closes
Sure American Apparel has done a lot of things i don’t agree with, namely trying to make irony fashionable (really, scrunchies and fanny packs?) and having an obnoxious CEO. But for someone who’s wardrobe is based manly around color combinations, American Apparel has really been vital. Because sometimes you need sheer mustard tights to go with that vintage navy wool skirt you...

I'm sorry, What?
When you get caught between the moon and New York City.
I know it’s crazy, but it’s true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do…
The best that you can do is fall in love.
Really, what the hell is this supposed to mean?
Should you be hovering in our upper stratosphere, don’t worry it’s cool, just fall in love and you...

Fall Lust
Yes, i am ashamed to admit that i am lusting for fall already. We all promised ourselves that we would live this summer to the fullest, because we were freezing for 4 months. We would revel in the heat, after this last brutal Chicago winter. But I’ve been sweating for two months, now. And people are starting to release their fall lines. And i remember how much i love cardigans, and...

Topic of Cancer by Christopher Hitchens →
Read Christopher Hitchens’ article on his own mortality.
The notorious stage theory of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, whereby one progresses from denial to rage through bargaining to depression and the eventual bliss of “acceptance,” hasn’t so far had much application in my case. In one way, I suppose, I have been “in denial” for some time, knowingly burning the candle at both ends and finding...

On Atheism
A post vaguely in response to this post from Anarchy & Scotch.
I’m an atheist. I don’t think I ever really believed in God. When I was very little I remember being somewhat afraid of a bearded guy in the sky. But when I started to get a bit older a lot of things didn’t makemuch sense to me. How could they live to be so old then and we can’t now? Where are the...

Customer Relations
Woman: Hi it's my friend's birthday. I was wondering if you guys had any fire or something?
Me: Fire?
Woman: Yea or explosions, you know something out of the ordinary.
Me: Are you being serious?
Woman: (blank stare) Well...yes.
Me: Ok. We are fresh out of fire right now. The best i can offer you is a beer that you can shake up and spray on him.
