Sweet.
My paper proposal, titled “The passion in his heart and the reason in his mind”: Sons of Anarchy as Postmodern Hamlet was approved for the 2012 Popular Culture Association conference in Boston. Which means rewatching Sons of Anarchy isn’t goofing off, it’s research. Bonus: PCA is like the nerd rapture—lots of intelligent people with passionate interests and large vocabularies...

Whose laptop is it anyway?
I’m going to talk about computers for a minute, mine specifically, since it’s what I’m using to write this. This may or may not interest you whatsoever. WHATEVER I AM NOT YOUR MONKEY. Ahem. So, I’m a Mac girl. Devoted. Not to the “I have an Apple tattoo and cried of Steve Job’s death” degree, but I love their products. Luckily, so is work–we’re a Mac house. This is all good. Since the whole...

Balls.
So, Dr. Orthopedist Guy tells me the crazy foot pain I’ve had for a few weeks is plantar fascitis. Which sucks, as apparently that is a “take some ibuprofen and stretch” sort of condition that could last forever. Is god punishing me for my unrelenting love of Chuck Taylors?

Dear everyone,
Sometimes, I just misdial the phone, and then I hang up because I realize my mistake. Calling me back and grilling me about who I am and what I called you for really isn’t necessary. It’s even worse when somebody else answers the phone and has no idea what you are talking about. So, a good rule of thumb is this: if nobody left a message, don’t call the number back. If it was...

Just stop.
On account of being in the lighting industry and all, entirely too many people have been asking me about the incident at the Indiana State Fair where the stage structure collapsed. Well, yes, I know how all that stuff goes together, but what I don’t know is how that particular roof was put together, how it was tied down, what the load was, or any of the literally hundreds of other factors...
