Conclusion: I need to dry out for a second, or at least stop talking about it like a 16 year old boy who just broke into his parent’s liquor cabinet.
That’s my goal.

Giving it a Hurl
You know what I did yesterday? I threw up.
I haven’t done that since my Lost Thursday of ‘05.
Saturday was Katie’s birthday celebration, and we sat poolside drinking vodka lemonades, and the next thing I know I am walking around Meijer the next day, shopping for hangover cures (Aleve and Easy Mac), and I’m thinking, “You [...]

Jeezikah Got Married, Part 293843: The Reception
My dad took these from inside the reception while I was outside getting hammered!
(Other things my dad said: “Don’t get any ideas. For your wedding, we’re bringing in White Castle.”)
The positively glowing Jessica at the head table…
Annie giving her toast. “To the journey!”
Here’s me and Nick eating our delicious wedding meal. I had Eggplant Napoleon [...]

Jeezikah Got Married, Part IV: Pre-Reception
Jess’s reception was at The Pennsylvanian, which used to be a railroad station.
(Probably the first and last time I will ride in a stretch hummer.)
In the rotunda was a raw bar, an antipasto table, and a glorious waitstaff that brought amazing foodstuffs TO YOU. Like LAMB LOLLIPOPS. (I very proudly used my Food Network/Top Chef [...]

Driving Miss Dazey
Listen, I don’t claim to be a good driver. Might I remind you of this little number, circa January 2008:
The first car I drove when I turned 16 was my parents’ Dodge Durango, which my friends affectionately called “The Big D.”
Not only did I completely fail the parallel parking segment of my driver’s test [...]

Stereotypes.
My living on the northside does not make me uppity, or proud. Still, I don’t get too far south of downtown that often. And I WAS totally judging when I snapped this shot out my car window, on the corner of Morris and Belmont….

Carmelites
The Carmelite sisters of Indianapolis are moving to Oldenburg, and their gorgeous monastery will soon be a seminary for those wishing to enter the priesthood. Today, they had an open house, allowing the public to view many parts of the grounds not normally shown. Here are some photographs I snapped while wandering around…

Elmo is an Attractive Black Man.
With no AC in my car and no money in my checking account, this weekend will be spent sleeping and catching up on Oprah. I just watched an ep with Marc Jacobs (LOVE!), the founder of Jimmy Choo (OMG!) and Kevin Clash, the puppeteer behind Elmo.
Also, Splinter. Baby Dinosaur,
and lots of other [...]

Jeezikah Got Married, Part III: The Wedding
I had never been a bridesmaid before this, but I’m pretty sure that I’m spoiled for life after this wedding. Everything was calm, and well-thought-out. There were no flip-outs, no breakdowns. Annie and I arrived at Jess’s house to get ready for the big day. The stylist and make-up artist who worked on Jess [...]

Jeezikah Got Married, Part II: The Dinner
Chris’s parents graciously hosted the rehearsal dinner at Jess’s parents house. Despite the heat, it was a wonderful, wonderful evening of white tents and BBQ and drinking.
The plate closest to the camera was mine, and was the first full solid meal I had had since coming off the master cleanse. So much for raw [...]

Jeezikah Got Married: Part I
The day I moved into my tiny single dorm room at Teter-Wissler 3, we had a meeting to get acquainted with everyone on the floor. The RA had come up with one of those “get to know you” games, where each person had a Disney character written on a piece of paper, and you [...]

Puttin’ on the Ritz
I downed a Sparks a few hours ago, which means that I have the only the slightest of buzzes and will be awake until the crack of dawn. Good one. I just finished watching Without Limits, a biopic about runner Steve PreFontaine, starring Billy Crudup. Billy’s chiseled jaw and promising shirtlessness was what initially [...]

Awareness.
Six days into antibiotics, I’ve accepted the possibility that the puffiness on the right side of my face may not be due to an infected wisdom tooth, but rather that my right cheek is simply fatter than my left.

I heart the Canadians!
Damon’s a guy’s guy. He leaves the toilet seat up. He plays computer games that involve AK-47s. He smells sometimes.
So it may come as a surprise to you that he walked into the room just now, declaring: “I am going to show you why Canadian Idol is better than American Idol.” While most guys [...]

Don’t Drop the Cope
I’m waiting for Damon to get home so we can visit his newly-born nephew at the hospital.
Having a little time to spare, I opened a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc.
Mid-pour, I couldn’t help but think that this was my body’s coping mechanism before setting foot onto the maternity ward. This is what I do. Whenever I [...]
