2010 RET·RO·SPEC·TIVE
At the start of 2010, I was celebrating the new year at The Holiday Club in Chicago with Rob and one of my best friends from college, Kari. We drank and took photobooth pictures and waved noisemakers around and I probably fell asleep that night buzzed and pretty content. I remember feeling happy that Kari decided to visit for that weekend because other than friends I’ve met through Rob, I...

Me: God, this thing never ends.
Mom: That’s what she said.
Mom: (Reading from Wikipedia) It’s from a time when farmers ploffed…
Me: I’m sorry, what was that word?
Mom: Ploffed. P-l-o-u-g-h-e-d.
Me: Do you mean…plowed?
Mom: You should be nicer to me. I carried you in my belly and then…

Mom and Technology: Part 1
Mom: Can you teach me how to use my iPod?
Me: No.
Mom: That's not very nice. Why not?
Me: Because trying to teach you how to use technology is like trying to teach a monkey how to make crème brulée.
Mom: Monkeys are really smart, I bet you could teach them that. You can teach them a lot of things. Like that gorilla they taught to do sign language. So there goes THAT theory.

And now, for a new on-going feature I like to call “How Are We Related?”
My alma mater played my parents’ alma mater in basketball today. We attended as a family.
Mom: This is so cool! I love that we’re sitting on the fifty yard line!
I’m excited for Brittany’s potential goldmine of family stories while she’s at home. However, I hope this is the only...
I hate planning for NYE.
If only our apartment was big enough to throw a party. I’d rather do that than pay $50 at a bar somewhere. Who else hates New Years Eve?

After being stuck underground on the Blue Line for thirty minutes this morning due to the train in front of ours having door malfunctions, I was pretty certain it was going to set the tone for the rest of my day. But no! I was wrong. Instead, all of these awesome things just happened in less than an hour:
Received a $25 American Express giftcard for Christmas from a random coworker.

Dear Ryan Adams,
youremybooradley:
If you could go ahead and announce another tour, that would be great. I get that you needed to take some time off, but you haven’t toured in like two years. Enough is enough. I think I’m getting whatever the Ryan Adams equivalent of DTs is.
Thanks in advance.
Love,
Your Number One Stalker. (Just ask my google alerts.)

Dear Internet,
I feel like there are things you should know about me as we embark on this newfound friendship.
I like books - good ones and bad ones. I mean, not like, unentertaining, but like - categorically bad. Like, Dan Brown and books about teenaged vampires and shit. But also, The…

I finished all my final papers for the semester in a timely fashion yesterday. It probably helped that Comcast was fucked and the internet was down in my apartment from 7pm to midnight last night.
I had my last class of the semester today, which means I am officially DONE with my first semester of grad school! I am now one step closer to being personally responsible for making your kids hate...

One month left in the year. The year that has, arguably, been the single biggest year of my life. If offered a fast-forward through the next thirty-one days to see if my biggest dream does come true this month, to see if I get to sign my name on a line that would change everything, would I take it if that meant I skipped both the consuming anxiety and overwhelming zeal it’d...
