apartment hunting Day 2
Thursday, June 30th, 2005I think I am going to be homeless. Or insanely poor. I haven't gone apartment hunting in two years—and the prices have skyrocketed. I looked at three places today. The first... YECH. The second... YECH. And the third? Well, for an oompah loompah it would be perfect. Third floor, teeny-tiny ...
location, location, location
Wednesday, June 29th, 2005The RSS feed from plasticbag.org just updated... and so I've cribbed his idea. The secret location of the guest. The secret location of the insider. The secret location of the soon-to-be-evicted insider apartment. (where the cats live)
To be Metro or not to be Metro?
Wednesday, June 29th, 2005The insider tells me I'm metro. Rather jumping straight into denial I decided to do some personal reflection. First up in my toolbox is urbandictionary.com. Urbandictionary.com has no less than 125 definitions for "Metrosexual." Here's the definition with the highest approval rating: 1. metrosexual A straight man who embraces the homosexual ...

The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Monday, June 27th, 2005So my day hasn't gone very well, to say the least. First, I got up early to take my car into the shop (the Malfunctioning Indicator Light is on.. come on, you're impressed that I knew that). Last week, the Service Manager told me to come in around 7:30AM and ...
I would like to take this time..

To help promote their businesses one of their members decided they should set up a booth at the annual Minneapolis Gay Pride Festival. As a result I’ve been driving my wife ...
The Traveler
Sunday, June 26th, 2005I was driving through the city today and noticed that there was a panhandler on nearly every major intersection. They all had various creative cardboard signs. Everything from “Will work for food” to “I need a beer – God bless.” I decided to investigate. I wanted to talk ...
Blistering Heat and Broken Refrigerators
Sunday, June 26th, 2005I didn't wake up until 12... I love Sundays. :) I would've stayed in bed longer, except it's so hot that I couldn't sleep. I went to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water and lo and behold... my refrigerator door is standing wide open. And apparently, it's been open ...
