al harris took out a full page ad in the milwaukee journal sentinel.
& it melted my heart.
love, love right back at you mr harris!
[[thanks andy andrews for the tip on this gem]]
I can’t believe I went all day without seeing this. So much love for Al Harris.
I just reached my hand into the candy bag at work and got a handful of Rollos. Confusingly, I ate them instead of trading them for a more worthwhile addition of calories.
If tonight goes anything like last night, I will end up eating frozen fat-free Cool Whip out of the container and drinking Diet Coke, so at least I have that calorie-free aspartame explosion to look forward to if this day ever...

100 things that suck about Milwaukee →
For a long time, I have been one of Milwaukee’s biggest cheerleaders. In college, I was often very nearly moved to fisticuffs when belligerent Appletonians or college students driving through from Madison tried to insult my fair city. But recently, I’ve begun to sour on the idea of living in a city that seems so hesitant to be as great as it could be. As much as I love living in a...

when you're rich, then asparagus is yummy
Whenever I order food for myself (which is OFTEN, or at least WAS often, when I was in college and perpetually drunk and fat) I always pretend that I’m with someone else who is going to assist me with the eating, or that I’m at least ordering for me and someone else who will appear at the time of eating. I’ve developed many ways to do this, the most trusty of which is simply...
Yesterday, as a result of some apparent mix-up caused by the Veteran’s Day holiday, our paychecks were not deposited into our bank accounts, which, in my case, made it very difficult to bulk-buy my favorite variety of discontinued hair clip from online beauty retailers in a panic with the remaining $16 in my bank account. Because I am irresponsible, we weren’t just dealing with a...
“Be good or be good at it.”
– Admission about my own life philosophies: I have this written on a post-it, hanging on the computer at my desk. Possibly not the best message for my high school students to see, but also possibly a more useful message than they realize.
(via inmyopinion) Life philosophy offered by my wise sage, Lil...

If the emotional, off-the-cuff criticism of a rapper who is almost as famous for his (often incoherent) public outbursts is sincerely the absolute low-point of your presidency, that drove our country into an enormous recession and two endless wars, then maybe you’re a little extra self-conscious about being called a racist. If it really hurts your feelings, but you can’t really give...

It seems very plausible that our refusal to stop believing in American exceptionalism is going to be our downfall.

I don’t know what it is about an excessive use of desperate adjectives that makes someone sound infantile, but there’s definitely something there.

This pretty accurately sums up my feelings about T.I. and all post-prison projects. Although, as I tell my students, all art should be approached with a critical eye. Even T.I.! Even Weezy! ALL OF IT, I say!
inmyopinion:
This morning, for the first time, I heard the new T.I. “Get Back Up” song, featuring Chris Brown. It’s basically T.I. saying he’s only human and he’s sorry if he’s been a...

Possibly the best thing I will hear all day:
“You know, my daughter introduced me to rap and hip-hop music after I said some things she thought were not very smart. She said, ‘Dad, you need to listen, all these people are smart’. This guy’s smart. And he’s got abilities. And he’s got a new chance now. And what I hope is that this is not just something to brand him as a cool guy, but that it’ll...
