- March 31, 2006: My car is a star! || No. of Comments: 2
A few months ago we did a photo shoot for one of our clients. After an intense audition process (Do you have a car? Yep. What color is it? White. Can we use it in the photo shoot? Sure.), my little vehicle was selected to be in the shoot. You can see it there on the far right. Parked sort of crooked. We’re ready for primetime now!…

It’s a fair question, deserving a fair answer. So here it is, a quick March review: Spent the weekend in Wisconsin with the volleyball team. Saw Hamlet (for the first time) at the Guthrie Theater. In our time of ultimate multitasking, juggling cell phones, IM conversations, emails, television and work all at the same time, Shakespeare demands one’s full attention. It’s a shock to adjust to, but thoroughly rewarding at the same time. Saw Stereolab at First Avenue, the home of Prince. Took second place in a volleyball tournament. Not bad for a bunch of slackers. Started working with the…

Yesterday Greg and I took his two-year-old niece, Ava, to the amusement park at Mall of America. At 36 and a half inches tall, she was barely able to pass for four of the rides. As she was strapped into the back of an airplane that rotated around an axis like the earth moves around the sun, she looked bored. Some kids screamed and rocked the planes back and forth. Ava put her pink sunglasses on — upside down to make a fashion statement — and peered at the nearby adults with an expression that said, “Am I supposed…

The city underwent a dramatic costume change overnight, transforming from slick blacks and browns to buried in thick layers of white. The snow plows were kind enough to bury my little Volvo as it was parked on the street. After 15 minutes of shoveling the wet, heavy snow off the top of the car, GTB hit the gas while I pushed. The front wheels spun without friction as densely packed snow lifted the car off the ground like a jack. A nice lesbian lady nearby offered her shovel, which I gladly accepted. As she watched us coax the car away…

I’ll save your house from smelling like greasy bacon. Soon I’ll get back to writing… Probably, anyway….

I’m in the Wisconsin woods with the other five members of my volleyball team. (Though, obviously with wireless internet, we’re hardly roughing it.) Doug snored all night, even after I threw pillows at him. Adam, in a moment of truth, said he fears getting fat more than he fears death. Justin, always the leader, is teaching a card game. (Or trying.) Bill has the refrigerator stocked with drinks and loves to pour them. Randy was confused by the Lycra-infused underwear peeking out the top of my jeans. I spent 15 minutes trying to light the gas fireplace, finding success only…
