Adventures in Costco
I went home this weekend - I saw No Doubt in concert and I very much enjoyed seeing them. Gwen Stefani and company evoked a certain type of nostalgia with memories of childhood and the past; glossed over images of supposedly happier times.
Well that Friday and there was still Saturday and Sunday, which largely consisted of binge eating and binge sleeping. Also, it took four hours to drive from...

This month so far, I have listened to a variety of way more important people deliver speeches: Julie Andrews, Chuck Klosterman and Anderson Cooper. While the former and latter seem to be far more recognizable, it’s surprising that most people aren’t even mildly aware of Mr. Klosterman.

That party last night was awfully tame, but I wished we taped it because then we could’ve went nuts with it in After Effects! I bobbed my head a lot and talked to this one girl but she probably won’t remember because it was just for a second and she didn’t want to talk about the new Star Trek movie and she hooked up with my friend Charlie instead.
