until we meet again, mad men *spoilers!*
So, Mad Men ended for another season on Sunday night, and I’ve spent two days crying about it.
Well, no, not really. But this was the weirdest ending to a season so far. I think I have to watch it again and take it in one more time. Because what is great about this show is that the characters act in ways that a) are completely surprising and b) are actually not surprising at all. And...

Lots of work, and also free-basing this podcast. Holy moses is it always nice to find people who are with me on the left. Who are even leftier than me! It gives me… what’s that word?
Orgasm?
alms! alms for the poor!
Ok, so today in the WSJ, a very rich business owner recently came out saying that he thinks charity is a waste of time and that the wealthy could do better contributing to society by putting their money and energy into creating jobs and funding innovations. I’m not going to link to it because AS IF the WSJ needs the Tigi-Boost.
ANYWAY. While some people who apparently have never...
Adulthood: It may not be for me.
I would like to have you believe that I have many and thoughtful things to say, and I think I do, but sitting down and actually writing these things is different from thinking about them while doing tasks at work or working out or driving.
Also, I threw myself out of bed this morning and hurt my back. Yes, you did read that correctly. I’m what one would call an “active”...

Reblog with men that you are strangely sexually attracted to.

Your turn. :)
Keith Olbermann, Conan O’Brien (strange???),…
Russell Brand and David Thewlis. Russell Brand is so sexy, I can’t even.

Oh, Silly, silly Gustavus, trying to make sure students are safe and responsible!
p'tooey.
So today I was explaining to one of the fitness trainers how her teenage son, who has his first canker sore, could treat it and help it heal. Essentially, I explained that what I do is gargle with mouthwash mixed with peroxide three times a day or after every meal, which as far as i can tell keeps the bacteria from getting in there and helps it heal faster. She thought about it for a second and...
try to write something
I put on The Postal Service (my blogging music of choice circa aught three, when i was particularly verbose) in hopes that it it will get my self-reflection juices flowing, though lately blogging no longer feels like journaling and more like tossing my voice into a large, loud conversation going on around me. I’ve been so disconnected from myself lately, which is very weird for a person who...
chills!
Some people hate it, but I’m so excited for cooler days. Sure, it gets a little obnoxious around March, but the first six weeks or so of colder weather make me so happy. Brisk air. Sweaters. Tea. Walking outside and not turning into the sweat-monster. The first few snowfalls, before travel becomes a real pain-in-the-ass. Yes, the older I get, the more I love autumn. Now excuse me, i...
