The obligatory post on the American Apparel letdown I knew was coming
In a flurry of scatterbrained stupidity, I went to work today an hour and fifteen minutes early. As soon as I noticed my mistake (okay, as soon as Ashley was all What are you doing here?) I hightailed it out of the office and headed downtown to check out the American Apparel store that opened up a while back. I’ve never really been hip to the whole American Apparel ethos; I’ve read about their wacky…

‘Home empowerment’
The CA has a story today about BeJane.com, a site for women wanting to delve into the world of do-it-yourself home improvement. Those ladies up there in the stiletto workboots are the founders of the site. It’s sad, really, that the concept behind a pretty useful website has to be marred by the heavily gendered and feminized marketing gimmicks on display here. Of course, there is the argument that having a site for women DIYers…

Day 60 — Martyrs
Like a moron, I headed downtown to the riverfront to try to catch the big storm roll in so I could take my daily photo (see how I risk my life for art?!!?), but when I got there, it was overcast but bright out. Not nearly as dark and foreboding as it had been earlier. And now I see they’ve canceled the tornado watch. Crisis averted, and I still got my picture (memorial at Martyrs…

Happy birthday, Pops
I just called my dad to wish him a happy 52nd, and, just like last year, he was at work. He sounded tired. I found out it’s because of some new medicine he’s on to, ironically, help him sleep. If he doesn’t take it at a certain time and get a certain amount of sleep, he has to trudge through the next day with that annoying cold-medicine buzz droning in his head. So, in addition…

In which I make my mom fear for my mortal soul (again)
My mother happened to stumble upon this picture of me, in which I look like I’ve been beaten, shot with a BB gun in the head, and administered some giant, freaky contact lenses. I think it spooked her, because this is what she e-mailed me: Linz,Ewwwweeeeeee! Linnnnzzzzzzzeeeeeeee!!WHAT is THAT picture on Flickr?!?! Puh leeeze tell me that’s not you! I couldn’t remember my Yahoo ID stuff so I couldn’t get in, but there was a…

Day 57 — Burke’s
They‘re moving soon, so I figured I’d best walk myself down there at least once before they were gone. And I couldn’t have picked a more beautiful afternoon than today’s, when the sun was out but there wasn’t a prick of humidity, and the birds were singing and church choirs lined the streets and money fell from the sky … okay, it wasn’t that great, but it was a nice, brisk walk and I came…
