So, Michael decided to invest in a straight razor. Among all the old man toys (hair tonic, shaving oil, freaking terrifying straight razor) were two toothbrushes. Made of badger hair. There is something vaguely disconcerting about shoving an animal in your mouth. I mean, an animal which you’re not consuming for nutrients. But, let me [...]

I haven’t talked a lot about my diet on this blog. I have purposefully not talked a lot about my diet on this blog. This blog sort of became the chronicle of my failed diets. I hate that. I hate that because I have, at one prior point in my life, lost fifty pounds. I [...]
So, Father’s Day is tomorrow. I’ve been dealing with some pretty heavy stuff regarding my dad, and I think it’s easy to get wrapped up in that junk and not appreciate your parent as a flawed, but still pretty cool, person. So I tried to think about advice my dad gave me. It was hard, [...]

Well, I’ve been on medifast for well over two-months now. Which is longer than I have been on any diet that I wasn’t on for mostly ethical reasons (read: Vegetarian, Vegan). And when you feel unhappy on a vegan or vegetarian diet, you always have these pictures of happy animals who you’re not eating to [...]
I have two issues to bring up currently. 1. Michael and I saw Weird Al last night. This is not an issue. Weird Al is fantastic; his band is fantastic. They’re all great performers, they put on an amazing show and it was a ton of fun. But I noticed something that I also noticed [...]
I was at the grocery store Monday. I was by myself, which is unusual. I was by myself because Michael dropped a Commodore disk drive on his toe and smashed it. Walking was, understandably, hard for him. Also, he was pretty doped up on pain killers and too many episodes of Arrested Development. I was [...]
The great thing about living somewhere new to you, is you see lots of things that are new to you! Lately, the weather has been kind of scary in Missouri, and I’ve seen a lot of things I’ve never seen before. Wall clouds, rotating clouds, a whole rotating storm system. After the storms have leveled [...]
I’ve been thinking today. When does something become a habit? I’ve been dieting for a little over a month, now. Sometime, over the last week or two, I just realized I don’t really care about what I can’t eat any more. I stopped seeing everything in terms of being deprived or denied something. I can’t [...]
Michael and I bought a VCR about a year ago. I have a lot of VHS because I taped a lot of things off television back in the day. When nine inch nails’ The Fragile came out, I taped every Trent Reznor anything that was shown. I also have nine inch nails’ Closure on VHS, [...]

I’ve been dieting for two weeks now. I don’t really make a thing out of it; I actively try not to. If people are curious, I understand. I started off the diet and stopped eating lunch with friends at work, just to be rid of temptation. I’m feeling pretty secure now, so yesterday, I started [...]
