“Please, please, please? I MUST have a t-shirt from the gift shop! MUST!” I pleaded with my mother last Sunday. There, in the lobby of the Indiana State Museum, I had regressed to a sniveling eight-year-old.
We were there to see the Abraham Lincoln Exhibits, “With Malice Toward None” and “With Charity for All,” and I [...]

Best! President! Ever!
Arigato fer NUTHIN’, LADY.
Let me let you in on a little secret regarding sushi in Indianapolis. One of my favorite places to pick up a couple of basic rolls is this little Japanese grocery store/cafe called One World Market in Castleton. It’s nestled in a strip mall next to a now-defunct Linens ‘n Things, but let me tell [...]
Waiting for the Crazy
I drove to the downtown library yesterday afternoon to see a hoard of people standing on the front steps. I didn’t know that the library didn’t open until 1pm on Sundays. I sipped my polar pop and lounged in the grass, until the doors opened and the library sucked in its adoring public. From afar, [...]
F*ck you, Northside.
So I went to Michigan for a few days, and when I came back I didn’t have cable or internet, because both of those things were in Damon’s name, and he cancelled that shit. So I made a reservation for a technician to come between 12p and 2p today to re-install it, except that no [...]
Piano Men
Does that image just not fill you with LOVE?! I’m seeing Billy Joel and Elton John in concert tonight. I paid $100 a ticket to undoubtedly be in the nosebleed section of Conseco Fieldhouse. The sound will probably be bad. The beer? Expensive. I thought about this when I signed on to ticketmaster that Saturday [...]
New Addictions.
Disclaimer: If you are a dude, there’s really nothing for you in this entry, as it is obscenely girly. Alas, it’s NaBloPoMo, and sometimes I don’t have anything to write about except how one shade of lipstick can take you from “classic” to “slutty.”

I don’t really go shopping, per se. My entire wardrobe [...]
Record Store Day!
Stayin’ busy.
A little while ago, Katie and I went to the National Record Store Day activities at Luna in Broad Ripple. Photo share!
Luna.
Katie. She’s kind of the most adorable ever, right? See the dandelion in her hand? A stranger just handed that to her. Yeah, it’s a weed, but strangers just hand her flowers. It’s [...]
Lens Envy
After uploading my photographs to Flickr, it only takes about two minutes of me rummaging around through other people’s images to come to the realization that my work is amateur crap. There is SO much talent and creativity in photography out there and my only hope is that I can be inspired and get better [...]
Good God.
You know what’s boring? The Republican convention. I am enjoying that guy dressed up as Lincoln.
You know what’s NOT boring? RibFest. It was awesome.
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…
Rooster Gate
It really [...]
Blarney.
I didn’t think St. Patrick’s Day was going to be a big deal in Indianapolis. Little did I know, a large percentage of people (including children and officers of the law) take the day off and get wasted in the streets all day. Bess, Jana, and I discovered this when we attempted to go to [...]
So I guess this is growing up…
I’ve been on “vacation” for the last eight days, and all I have to show for it is this freckly driver’s-side tan up my left arm from having driven to and from Bloomington/Indianapolis three times. Also, I’ve probably lost ten pounds via sweating in my Cavalier, sans AC. But, I’ve arrived. I’m [...]
I wish my life was as great as my MySpace page makes it look.
I feel like I’m stumbling around knowing that sometime mid-summer there’s going to be a big Do-Over Button and I’ll have this great new job - nay, a CAREER — a new apartment. A dog!
Want! to! push! the! button!
…We’re moving to Indianapolis. I needed a scope, a scene. Also, when your boyfriend intends to continue living with you, he [...]
