comics: What’s an IKEA?
It’s kinda icky and rainy, work is busy and it’s definitely a moody day. At least my elevator was working again this morning. This panel from Basic Instructions cracked me up as part of the strip, “How to Make a...

in DC: allergen masochist
I’ve been in DC over 10 years, and I go each year. I know what they look like, I’ve seen them in rain and shine, and it still doesn’t matter. You have to see the Cherry Blossoms. Even though ever...
video: Aisha Tyler is my muse…
TGIF everyone! Have I mentioned how much I love Aisha Tyler? Probably so, but it bears repeating. James and I have become total fanboys, quoting bits from her special, following her on twitter and generally spreading the gospel. I call...
walking: 8 mile
I’m gonna need to work my way up to doing that again, truly. Every now and then, when we’ve had a really nice weather weekend in the midst of winter, a bunch of friends would go for a little walk...

I forgot about the 2nd being Groundhog Day until I saw it in a few papers today. While I don’t think they say this as much anymore, when I was a kid the folklore was that if the groundhog emerges...
WaPo: the sincerest form…
It had been a while since I’d seen my name in “lights” and of course this was on a day when I was teleworking, and therefore didn’t make it out of the house/near a metro station to pick up the...
geek/theater: One Man Star Wars
Heard last night, if Star Wars has taught us anything it’s: Don’t kiss your sister like that, and Don’t let your father become Darth Vader! I lucked out and snagged Jhim’s +1 ticket to see One Man Star Wars last...
