Internet, you can’t say I never gave you anything

Back in 2002 or 2003 before Dane Cook was very well known ubiquitous (and widely reviled by comedy snobs non-fratboys), he was busy building an online army of fans via his website (this was pre-MySpace, even) and AIM and other internet hoozits and whatnots. I had seen his Comedy Central special and bought his first comedy CD and was a pretty big fan (I still admit that he makes me laugh with alarming regularity; suck…

Day 175: Out o7 Order

Spotted at work by Kerry V. Today I sat through a series of corporate-mandated safety-training videos that had me momentarily convinced that we were being Punk’d. I mean, they were so abysmally awful and insulting (honestly, spending more than fifteen minutes explaining the folly of leaning back in chairs and running down stairs with your arms piled high with boxes? really?) that the entire group couldn’t help but crack on them constantly. We’re all assholes.…

Day 100: Flight of the Conchords

I’ll cop to it — I didn’t get any decent pictures of the Conchords OR Kristen Schaal, who opened for them (squee!), not only because I was too chickenshit to challenge Grandpa McUsher, who was roaming the rows and threatening to cut people with cameras, but mostly because I can’t take pictures in the dark. I just can’t. Plus I was excited. Whatever — I don’t live my WHOLE life through a screen! Anyway. The…

Our wedding invitations are in the mail

Lindsey, It’s time to drop the guise. You have followed the Agency’s authentication script to the letter, and I know now, without question, that you are in fact the Jackal. So let us proceed with the business at hand. There are three coins in the fountain, but each one will not bring happiness. Got it? Scarecrow, aka “Charles” (haha) Play catch-up here. INSTA-UPDATE! We’ve been discovered!

I hoofed it out east yesterday to sit with my parents in the waiting room in between the tests. The people at the Stern Cardio clinic were ridiculously nice to us. I watched my dad come and go from the waiting room while wearing a…
