Moving, Nostalgia

nobody@vox.com(Slow Learner) — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 08:15:18 -0500

I am unpacking my library. Yes, I am. The books are not yet on the shelves, not yet touched by the mild boredom of order. I cannot march up and down their ranks to pass them in review before a friendly audience. You need not fear any of that. Ins...

American Todd, #1

nobody@vox.com(Slow Learner) — Wed, 21 May 2008 18:12:11 -0500

Note: I had been wanting to pepper my usual postings with something new and interesting when my friend Todd suggested a semi-regular guest spot. I enthusiastically agreed, especially since I'm in the middle of my move down South and expect my post...

I'm going! After what was probably the most restrictive (i.e., online sale only, no phone or box office orders, limited to two tickets per purchase, no duplicate orders, will-call only with valid ID and credit card at point of entry, no paper or...

Well Done, Counselor

nobody@vox.com(Slow Learner) — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 22:12:22 -0500

For my dear friend, Jeff, who just heard that he's passed the Bar Exam. Back in the good ol' days, we used to fancy ourselves the star and co-star, respectively, of this film noir gem. I was the prettier one, although he had the better hair. He...

Day Four: Ya'll Come Back Now, You Hear!

nobody@vox.com(Slow Learner) — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 20:44:34 -0500

Note: The conclusion of the Nashville trip. Admittedly, taking two weeks to detail (in detail!) a four day trip, immersed almost entirely on the sociocultural monolith that is traditional country music is probably kind of teeth-rattling for the br...

Day Three: Lived In Bars

nobody@vox.com(Slow Learner) — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 00:13:47 -0500

Note: Due to the incredibly hectic schedule during the trips to Nashville and Atlanta, the live day-by-day blogging routine was quickly and unceremoniously ditched. What follows, over the next few days, are some reflections on the major highlight...

Day 1: All the Nation's Airports

nobody@vox.com(Slow Learner) — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:00:35 -0500

11:51 AM: Via Chicago On little sleep, and with great anticipation and eagerness (to see Anne and my friends, to get to warmer climes, and (actually) to begin recording this "blogoventure" in earnest) I set out to the airport with some time to s...
