deadly serious

If you've had a discussion with me about my theories on humor recently, then you're up to speed with my current quest for the "straight face". I don't want to get into it because I'm still in the middle of figuring out the whole concept (it's subtleties, variations, …

yart sale

My buddy Ian Ferguson, or hydEON if you will, makes really cool stuff when his pen hits paper. Like that card I'm holding in my hand. He currently has some of his paintings and illustrations for sale online at phoneboothgallery.com. Check it oot.

do i have a case?

I need some help.

So Thursday night I parked on Howell near a very ambiguous sign that I assumed had nothing to do with where I was parking. Clearly, the portion of curb where I parked was not painted yellow and surely, I thought, this "No Stops" sign must correlate to …

In case you forgot that Radiohead is the greatest band in the world, here you go:

sick & tired of being sick & tired

I got what I asked for. Sort of.

My body has retaliated by giving me the flu.

Thanks for the day off.

outliers

This is how much I love books by Malcolm Gladwell: I only let myself read a chapter every couple of days because I am fully aware that the faster I read, the sooner it is over.

It's like listening to a good podcast.
It's like reading a good essay.
It reminds me of sitting …

nap shack

I think I need a day off.
Now I know what you're saying:

Stefanie, you don't have a job. In fact, you haven't since September when you decided to go to Europe and since mid-December you've been living with your parents and smoking, drinking, and eating more candy than …

years of loneliness have been murder

Last night I watched Billy The Kid, and it is probably the most memorable documentary I've seen since Gates of Heaven. Peep the trailer:

get real paid

Today I had a job interview, and being the blind optimist that I am, I sort of just assumed that this "interview" was more of a formality, and in reality they had looked at my resume and decided on the spot that they would hire me. I mean, it's happened before.

Anyway, …

don't tell me what i can't do

The only difference between John Locke and my dad is that one is a man of faith and the other is an atheist.

But they've both got the same twinkle in their eye.
(And love walking around in the woods).

i love:

People that make me laugh, people that watch me sing karaoke, people that buy me drinks, people that stay up late and talk, people that listen as carefully as they choose their words, and the few people that are "in on it".

In essence, I love my friends.



Sidenote: I don't …

take your dog for a walk

I think I've had more hot dogs in 2009 than I had in all of last year. And you know what? I want more.

A lot more.

bogglingoblin

I'm really not in the mood to write a blog, but as I watch my Google Analytics plummet, I think that maybe I should. Cuz I've got cool stuff going on, right??? And you guys wanna hear about it???!!

I took hiatus recently. Maaaaybe you noticed. I spent four and a half …

the other L word

My blog doesn't feel like mine anymore. It feels like a report. I don't know why I do that. I guess sometimes it's hard for me to say how I really feel.

How do I feel? Mostly good to be honest, but occasionally heartbroken. I mean, I'm trying to get over it, but …

the black lodge

Well, family obligations have ended, floods waters have receded, and I'm out of money... so I'm going to the woods for a while. I will return when I've either written some good songs or gone crazy, whichever comes first.

One question remains, will the internet miss me …

monday

realage

I just took the RealAge test and got real nervous waiting for my results because my resting heart rate was NINETY and I'm unemployed and drive too fast... but because I get enough sleep, buckle up, and have a healthy BMI... my real age is 23!!! PWNED. Thanks for the …

mosely bugs

Part of me wants to give you a play by play of the four days that I recently spent in Portland, and another part of me wants to just write silly, ambiguous statements on the matter; however, neither seem like good ideas because I want people to actually enjoy reading …

there were marigolds

Reasons why 2009 is the weirdest year yet: I spent New Years without a single Bellingham friend. I watched the fireworks from the Space Needle on TV, even though I was only a couple miles away from the actual event. My first kiss was with Andrew Forsman. My second …

time warp

Definitely sang Lovefool at Atlantic Crossing last night... with one eye closed and wearing my backpack.
