- fashionably late -

True to form, I'm once again a year behind everyone else.

In other news:

• Not having a green card really sucks.
• Wes is moving to Nome, Alaska in 2 weeks. What's up with people moving to all these weird places?
• I've lost 5 lbs in as many days. That's never a good sign.
• MLA and I agreed that the lack of DTR was the root cause. (If I were clever, I would've thrown in more TLAs in that sentence, but unfortunately I'm not.)
• My 5-year college reunion is on June 5th in Waterloo. I'm so not going.
• The only bright spot of this past week: Hannah bought me The Complete Far Side. Sorry about all the bitching and whining I've been doing -- you're the best sister in the world.

- should i stay or should i go? -

Maybe I shouldn't have given away my emergency stash to that homeless guy 'cause I can really use a cigarette right now.

- i just want your extra time -

I really hate to dwell on this, but can we please stop this casual-kiss-on-the-lips thing before it gets out of control? It's a total Catch-22 because a) if it's someone you like, then they are just being a big tease (intentionally or not), and b) if it's someone creepy, then you are just left with a bad taste in your mouth (literally).

Bill Simmons is right -- it should only be allowed in I-know-it-was-you-Fredo type of situations.

- desperado -

Well, that wasn't so bad now, was it? Of course, I'll probably live to regret it for years to come. (Can you say "Danny Boy"?) Sometimes, having a good memory isn't such a good thing.

- sorry so sorry -

My apologies to those who stayed up last night to watch Howie Day's half-assed performance on Letterman. Absolutely zero enthusiasm -- it was almost as if he didn't want to be there. And where were the delay pedals/loop samplers? Howie Day without the effects pedals is like Britney Spears without the big boobs.

Happy birthday, Mom!

- wanksta -

This guy takes the chigger/fobsta thing to a whole new level.

Oh, Shane moved to Macon, GA, not Tennessee. Isn't that John Rocker's hometown? Yikes. Good luck fitting in.

- mr. tambourine man -

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. Damn it.

Some random notes:

• Just when did kissing a non-S.O. on the mouth become an acceptable social behavior? I always feel somewhat violated when that happens.
• Found out through Mariana that Shane moved to Tennessee. Not even a good-bye? Asshole.
• To nobody's surprise, Roger Clemens came out of his short-lived "retirement" and signed a one-year deal with the Astros. I guess I now have a new favorite NL team.

- love makes you do the wacky -

Two penguins walk into a bar...
and the 3rd penguin says "you'd think one of them would've seen it."

- stop all the world now -

I stayed up 'till 12:30am to catch Howie Day on Letterman, only to see him get bumped off by some dorky kid who wrote a book about a dragon or something. He'll now be on next Wednesday's show instead. Set your TiVo now -- if it's even half as good as his Fishbowl appearance, you're gonna be blown away.

- fluorescent light -

Um, you know that South Park movie title? I didn't get the joke until just now. 4.5 years -- that's gotta be a record, eh?

- let me dirty up your mind -

chromeboy: hey, what's a metrosexual?
hansol: a straight guy who acts like a gay guy. why?
chromeboy: some girl called me that today. what the fuck?
