2011

well gang, yet another new year is upon us. what are we going to do about it? the only thing i can think of is to get wilder.

late christmas present

i got my last christmas present last night and it was a good one. yarn owls. i've hung it above my desk to inspire me. perhaps i will write short stories about this owl family. i've named them, (L to R) Randall, Barb, Shelby, and Luther Vandross.

not going home for christmas

i had a pretty good christmas out here, but i gotta say, what sucked most about not going home for christmas was not being a part of this.

tips locker

at work, we keep our tips in a locker and then divide them up weekly. the other day on my break, in a stroke of genius, i came up with this awesome label for the tips locker. i made it from cutting up a pajama catalog. yes, there are pajama catalogs on this planet where we live. it's funny because the word "tips" also means like "pieces of advice" and that's what it looks like the one person is forcing on the other person.

steinbeck

steinbeck had a weird shaped head. he kind of looked like a cross between freddie mercury and a young paul newman. i bet babes were all over him.

the chase

hey check it out! another new video from Olde Champions. and this one has no bad words! Olde Champions is me, patrick rule, and adam shonkoff. we make videos.

happy birthday to schoolpants

this has been such a crazy month that i've been too busy to celebrate our birthday! the first schoolpants post was on December 3, 2008. we've been doing this two years now! can you believe it? i sort of can. but not all the way. two years seems like a long time. i once spent two years in prison. no i didn't. i think i was thinking of someone else. but i once kept a blog alive for two years. oh yeah, that's what we were just talking about. anyway. congratulations to you and me. and to schoolpants. TO SCHOOLPANTS! (and then we all cheers)

deodorant usage trends

for no real reason, i'll go months at a time where i wear deodorant everyday. then, also for no real reason, i'll go months at a time where i don't wear it. as of late, i've been going through a "no-deodorant" phase. but today at work, i was sweating a lot and boy did my armpits smell like chicken noodle soup! tomorrow, the new "yes-deodorant" phase begins!

a cat

sometimes i wonder if maybe i'm just a cat that somehow got accidentally put in a human body. like a really smart cat who understands english. and is allergic to cats.

the three wisemen

hey gang! merry christmas! here's a christmas movie for your enjoyment. if you enjoy extremely weird videos. WARNING: if you're my mom, i think you should know there are bad words in this movie. watch at your own discretion. if you are my sister or brother, please don't show this video to my nephews and girl-nephews.
