Yes, Kanye West, Leonard Bernstein is “The Shit.”

In the Spring of Ought-Four, I had a brief love affair with a friend of my college roommate.
And by brief love affair, I mean a fling.
And by fling, I mean I was totally his rebound.
I knew he had a girlfriend (she was studying abroad in Australia at the time) but the sparks between us were [...]

The Ultimate White Album

This entry was completely inspired by my favorite professor, Glenn Gass. Professor Gass brilliantly taught “The History of the Beatles” course at Indiana University, thus cementing his role in obtaining “the best job to have ever been created, ever, in all of time.”
One crisp autumn evening almost five years ago, Gass began a lecture with, [...]

Fight or Flight or Bite.

Disclaimer: This entry doesn’t really make sense. I’d say it’s stream of consciousness but the term “stream” makes it sound so lovely and poetic. It’s less “stream” and more…”spitbubble.”

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 [...]

Glory Days, in the Wink of a Hoosier’s Eye

I’ve been tailgating like it’s my job lately.  And by that, I mean I’ve been down there twice.  But still. It’s a day-long event, so it tends to feel like three or four parties thrown into one blurry afternoon.
Here’s Heather, Jess, and I during the festivities last Saturday…
IU Homecoming 2007:
