Escape From St. Paul
After much hullabaloo, the Compas Community Arts grant is in. Now it is just in the hands of God and/or at the mercy of the Compas grant staff. The thing was a huge ordeal that brought out some of the worst in Sarah and me. Somehow, we are still friends through it all. Woooord.
I started [...]
Charlie Rose vs. Patreaus
Watched this while biking last night. This is probably the best explanation of what is going on in Iraq. I wish Bush would talk as much. hmm.
Charlie Rose vs. The Coen Bros - No Country for Old men
This was an interesting little watch last night while trying to burn off that extra helping of stuffing….
Post Turkey Coma
My friend Jenn told me a joke this evening that some drunk guy told her Native American uncle yesterday:
“hey, hey, if the first indians hadn’t shot a turkey…and instead shot a cat…we’d all be eating pussy tomorrow…HAHAHAHAHH!”
True that. Damn Turkeys! Not only is the Tryptophan making me go into a coma, I don’t have any [...]
Pre-Turkey Coma
Yay. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I am heading back to Wisconsin to hang with my folks. I believe this might be the first Thanksgiving I have had with my family ON thanksgiving in a while. So I am stoked. Darren and Kristen will be there too. Anyway, I hope the 1 or 2 people who [...]

This week in health news…
In my best News Anchor voice :
“A week ago, an exasperated and overworked Blaine came down with a wicked cold just as he anxiously approached a long weekend. In a slight act of desperation, he made a last minute appointment with the doctor consuming a good portion of one of his two vacation time days [...]
Not All Jokes Are Funny…
I was listening to Podcaust, Sarah’s friend Rob’s Podcast about dork shit. I love it. Anyway, the last episode, they mentioned whysoserious.com and the viral marketing for the new Batman movie. I have heard Heath Ledger is to play The Joker. The pictures on the site and some from google images make me really [...]
I Have a Hand Gesture for you
I was using Google as spell check again for steple.. err… steepl… er “Did you mean steeple?” YES.
Anyway, I found an archive of hand gestures including the Steeple, which I do all the time. The site is cool as it lists a bunch of the anthropological origins and such. There is a whole section [...]
