I’ll just put this in the most blunt terms possible: I succumbed to an irresistible urge to listen to Snow Patrol’s Final Straw. Was I looking to put the finishing touches on the seduction of the sort of traditionally attractive woman who attended a large state university and is entry-level alt enough for my tastes? If it was,...

“To put it another way, as I told a friend last week: I have a minor fixation on...”
– Pinpointed for Oblivion, in response to my clothes ‘n’ age post. Note: I don’t even try to go to shows anymore, but this thought occurred to me recently.

Where That Earl Post Went
Post-post, the Recluse—who holds degrees in this type of science several times over—turned up some factual inaccuracies. Rather than correct them, which would have meant crossing over into that crazy stalking shit that don’t even make sense, we decided to take it down altogether. So congratulations if you saw it. You learned a thing or two. We, however, did not feel comfortable going...

It was called Baseball Connoisseurs.
And in my opinion, this 2006 project was one of the best sports blogs no one ever knew about. But that’s kind of their fault, since they gave up after only a few months. I hear they were disheartened by not being able to obtain a “.gov” address, and from there, the dream gradually withered away.

I'm doing my taxes today.
That involves printing out every bank and credit card statement from the past year, and combing my PayPal account for biz-related eBay buys. Then I circle a bunch of shit, lament the fact that I no longer own an actual calculator, and end up owing pretty much what I’d counted on all along. Yesterday, though, I started wondering. Why not just save myself some trouble, plug in some...

Tumblr makes me feel like a tadpole in a tidepool.
As a writer, that’s probably a good nothing, especially now.

I may forever regret Tumblin' this...
But I really don’t think I can ever see a non-Jewish therapist again. It was like one of those shows where they tell you why humans can’t live on Neptune. Also, I am happy that my people never did macho well, at least not in exile. Not a good look for helping others in need.
