I Heard He’s in the Hen House

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

If you’ve never seen or heard Ragan Fox deliver his great poetry slam polemic “Heterophobia,” I just discovered that he’s put it up on YouTube. “Heterophobia” I first discovered Ragan when I went through my short podcasting phase in 2006. His podcast was consistently excellent, and I only stopped listening when he went on hiatus. [...]

Pansies

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

In endorsing Hillary Clinton, North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley said, “…this lady right here makes Rocky Balboa look like a pansy.” Some bloggers recognize this for what it is – an anti-gay slur being used in political discourse by a member of the “friendly” party. But all day long I’ve been hearing that I’m too [...]

Pretty To Look At

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

[click to embiggen] There’s nothing worse than talking to a good-looking, talented person with no opinions on anything. Boys, all that time at the gym is admirable, but read a fucking paper.

Netflix Movie Review: The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

As promised, I spent most of Saturday lying in bed. I’m almost caught up on my LSAT class homework, so I’m not even feeling guilty. Tomorrow I have to get to the gym, though, so no lazy Sunday. The NetFlix fairy brought me The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green, which I’d forgotten was [...]

A Night at the ER

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

Well, despite the accusations and insinuations of certain family members, pro-gun advocates and anti-queer activists, I can say with a relatively high degree of certainty that there is nothing wrong with my brain. Last night, after watching Battlestar Gallactica, I was doing a bit of Internet surfing before going to bed, when I was very [...]

Do You Hear Me?

Inspired by Chris, this blog is going dark in recognition of the Day of Silence. No twitter updates, no new blogs, no email, no facebook or myspace updates until Saturday.

Being Healthy Sucks

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

So all this week I’ve been counting down fewer and fewer cigarettes. Today I was allowed two. Tomorrow, I’ll smoke my last one. Until today, the prescription has made this a fairly painless process. Today the nicotine withdrawl symptoms started kicking in. It started with a dull headache in the afternoon, then got worse. Plus [...]

Math Club

[click to embiggen] Jennifer called me at work today just to tell me that she had fallen in love with Bitstrips. She also uploaded this comic to Facebook. I guess being turned into an ashy-colored flamer is payback for my character design of her looking like an angry drag queen who was 60% boobs. I [...]

Music Monday

Monday, April 21st, 2008

I’m sure it’s crossed your minds, “I wonder what Jere’s listening to these days?” Well, ponder no longer gentle readers. Here’s the news about the song in heavy rotation on my iPod this week. “Hardly a Hero” by Levi Kreis. After hearing the song but not quite placing it in Kiss the Bride, I looked [...]
