To this thrift store album meme.
This was addicting for some reason.
The deal:
1 - Go to “wikipedia.” Hit “random”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 - Go to “Random quotations”
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title [...]
There’s Your Karma.

A Bunch of Posts I’ve Started
but haven’t completed because I’m too busy trying to distract myself from the fact that I haven’t eaten solid food in seven days…
1) I just started watching How I Met Your Mother and even halfway through Season One, I’ve decided that it is WAY better than Friends. While I liked Friends, I was never one [...]

Wow.
I guess things are just…easier this time around. With the Master Cleanse, I mean. The Lemonade is less maple-y than I remember, I didn’t have to pray my headache away on day three, and I’m starting to see my one, true, original chin again.
Not to say that this is easy. While I’m not dreaming of [...]

OK, I believe you.
I seldom feed my own money into the jukebox. This isn’t to say I’m hustling dollars for tunes — I just very rarely carry cash. Most places in town have those digital joints, where you pay fifty cents per song. You’ll typically find me and my girl Katie up there, the LEDs splashing color on [...]

Fly Like Paper Get High Like Planes
I dream every night. I mean, everyone dreams every night, but nine mornings out of ten I can recall segments of what I’ve dreamt. Most of my reveries are a mish-mash of symbols. People I’m thinking of before I doze off will understandably make an appearance, but with a twist, like that one time I [...]

On “25 Things”
I’ve been racking my brain about these “25 Things” lists, as I’ve been tagged too many times to avoid. I can’t, for the life of me, think of 25 unique things that most of you don’t already know. I guess I’m just an open book, I tend to conclude, pointing to this online journal holding [...]

Spring Cleaning 2009
You may remember that I did the Master Cleanse last year with great results. Yes, the Master Cleanse, with lemons and maple syrup and cayenne pepper. It sounds stupid and insane, and it is most certainly both of those things. You can show me 2349827342 articles that say it’s unhealthy or pointless or placebo and [...]

A Pie Chart Summary
Okay okay - about this:
ONE!
Lockerbie Pub. My favorite bar in the entire world. Largely because I frequently gather there with my favorite people. Moreover, it is the quinessential, no-frills, no-bros kind of establishment. The jukebox is kickin’, the drinks are strong, and the conversation is stellar. Love love love.
TWO!
Jeff at Lockerbie Pub. Speaking of love, [...]

Too Late to Post-Date Some Entries, Huh?
Bess convinced me that NaBloPoMo was stifling my creativity, and my refusal to follow its rules for more than FIVE CONSECUTIVE DAYS was pure rebellion. Because I am the James Dean of blogging. That’s what friends do, right? Justify things for each other? Excellent.
Here’s a graph to show what I’ve been up to. I had [...]

NaBloPoMo FAIL!
There was a moment at about 11:26pm last night that I actually thought, “THERE IS ONLY THIRTY MINUTES LEFT IN WHICH TO BLOG TODAY!” but then someone gave me two dollars for the jukebox and I didn’t care.

Crackle Pop Hiss
As you may know, my parents have put the ol’ house up for sale, thus ridding its contents of my childhood and fond memories. In response I’ve been requesting a collection of items I feel will likely get trashed in the move. One of those items?
A Pioneer PL-540 turntable, circa 1973.
This baby was my [...]

Three Things I Should Be Embarrassed About, But Am Not
… mainly because I’ve forgotten what embarrassment feels like:
ONE:
I am “joining” or “subscribing to” NaBloPoMo, which is geek slang for “National Blog Posting Month.” It’s basically a tool for bloggers who, like me, get distracted by shiny things and quarter life crises, to marathon-blog at least once per day in hopes of establishing a writing [...]

Dig Those Rhythm ‘n Blues…
In case you wondered why your radio seemed to have “American Pie” on loop today — it’s the 50th Anniversary of “The Day the Music Died,” marking the date Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper perished in a plane crash.
[Did you CLICK on that link to Wikipedia? Because, seriously. FASCINATING STUFF THERE.]
I’m kind [...]

The Etsy Bitsy Spider Ran Up Jenn’s Charge Card
I am a sucker for free spirits.
I stumbled upon the blog of Megan McIsaac, a peculiarly awesome chick, through some photos that she took of Neal Casal from The Cardinals. Megan McIsaac is that girl that catches your eye from across the room and you just sigh and say, “Shit. I want to BE her.”
A [...]

The Year of.
For some reason or another, when the clock struck midnight on January 1st, I started making these grand declarations.
For everything.
They always, always start out with “TWO THOUSAND NINE, THE YEAR ______________”
It snowballed from a completely intoxicated statement made at the Lockerbie Pub in late December. “2009, The Year of Jenn.” Obviously, modesty is not [...]
