One way to perplex your host
My most popular post ev-ah is this one, in which I designate four particularly offensive emo-indie-kid hairstyles I’d like to see instantly halted.
I wrote this post last Novemeber, and lately I’ve gotten at least 20 Google referrals each day to it. I don’t know what kids out there are searching for (I’m the top [...]

Open letter to my feet
Y’all,
I am so sorry for this weekend. I was mean to you and I had no right to be.
Blame the patriarchy. And my occational compliance with its demands.

Let’s make a movie
So I’m reading The Time Traveler’s Wife and it’s fantastic. Tamara raved about it and lent it to me while I was in Nashville.

(Anyone care to explain to me why soundtracks are so often radically different from the music played in the actual film?) But I caught at least two Radiohead [...]

Whiff
Someone on the elevator was wearing the same perfume my mother wears. And I swear, I can’t name it, but that’s got to be one of the most comforting smells in the world. I wanted to follow the woman to her cube and just stand there, sniffing her like a freak.

Prince Albert coming to town
Al Gore’s going to be in Memphis Monday to sign copies of An Inconvenient Truth and discuss the book. He’ll be at the Laurelwood Davis-Kidd at 5 p.m. Tickets go on sale Saturday, because the man is a rock star these days.
For some reason there’s no mention of this on the Davis-Kidd Memphis events [...]
