Before Matt and I had our asses tattooed earlier this month, I hadn’t been tattooed in a long while. I’m a huge fan of the art form – I wrote my thesis on it tattoos, afterall – and I’m always thinking of new images or ideas to have tattooed on me. I just don’t really [...]

Matt and I have been talking about getting tattoos together for a long time. Nothing hokey, nothing mushy, and no names. We tried to think of something that we were both interested in, and a place that he’d be okay with and that I didn’t already have plans for. I can remember the night he [...]

On Saturday night my friend April hosted a Passion Party. For those of you unfamiliar with the phenomenon, a passion party is essentially a tupperwear party but with dildos and massage oil.
A woman who hosts these parties in the evenings came over to April’s around 7:30 p.m. to set up, and presented all of the [...]

After more than two weeks of enduring a painful foot, which I assume is the result of running on a heavily sloped indoor track, I finally made an appointment to see a doctor at a sports clinic. Saturday morning I saw Dr. MacKay, who, after poking and prodding my feet (unmanicured, I might add…yikes, sorry [...]

My parents have often mentioned, if not full-out argued, that Valentine’s Day was created and perpetuated by Hallmark. It’s a bogus holiday. We don’t get a day off, and feel obligated to eat waxy chocolate (or buy the discount waxy chocolate at Shopper’s the day after, like me). Wikipedia’s entry notes:
The day is most closely [...]

I was out for a run the other day after work, when I realized that for the past…I don’t know…10 years or so, I’ve constructed my whole thought process around my life goals and aspirations according to “when I’m older…” I still think of myself as not yet grown up. Not quite there yet. When [...]

So I went to the doctor yesterday morning for an appointment that I really didn’t think I needed – I was supposed to have had a routine chest x-ray months ago (only as a benchmark for my new doctor), but I only managed to get to the Radiology office Tuesday morning. I knew the [...]
