On New Year’s Eve, many worship at the altar of TORAK. TORAK, the porcelain god, revealed his ways to High Prophet Mike K. and Vice-High Prophet Jere K. in the hamlet of Reno, Nevada during the time of the great undergraduate education.
The central tenet of TORAK worship states that mankind and womankind may only gain [...]
Congratulations, we’ve reached the end of the boring week-long “2008 in Review” blogs. Coming soon: posts you might sorta, kinda care about.
But first, one last bit of year’s end housekeeping to deal with. While I’m still not a huge fan of new year resolutions, last year’s list helped me focus throughout the year, so I [...]

After reading over 55 books in 2007, 61 in 2006, and 37 in 2005, I’m rather aware that this year has seen a significant drop in my reading habits. I blame the months I spent studying for the LSAT every night, the cross-country move, and the recent poverty. I expect the next three years of [...]
In some ways, it’s a sad little list this year, but here’s a recap of the live theatre performances I attended in 2008:
Mormon American Princess at San Francisco’s New Conservatory Theatre Center
Xanadu on Broadway
[Title of Show] on Broadway
So, I didn’t get out to see a lot of live theatre this year, but what I lacked [...]
Much of the Year in Review stuff I’ve been working on has been fairly impersonal, I suppose. A laundry list of pop culture reflections and itemized evidence of how I’ve spent my free time. So I thought I’d try and put together a list that includes some very personal reminders of the things that happened [...]
Less overall travel in 2008 than the last couple years, but I still got to see quite a few new places and over the course of the year I traveled coast-to-coast by land for the first time (San Fran to Cincinnati by car, then–two months later–Cincinnati to New York by train).

So, in order, [...]
As we move into the final week of 2008, I’ll be publishing a series of posts this week summarizing my year. I find that I don’t much like the “top ten” format that I used so often in my journalism days, so instead you’ll be getting comprehensive lists of things like places I’ve traveled, books [...]
