This is Seth. I don't know him but he seems pretty off the hook. Tonight I wish Seth was on my raquet-volleyball team. We would have dominated. Plus he definitely would not have forgotten to wear his lucky sweatband (though I certainly did--I don't know why I'm surprised about the outcome... :). Raquet-volleyball is pretty self explanatory. It's generally played when all the volleyball courts are taken at the field house so you have to play on a...
Speaking of ice floes, when I was in Gainesville I watched this amazing thing on the Discovery Channel. It's a pod of killer whales using actual warfare methods (rushing the ice floe to make a big wave to knock the seal off). It's insane to see how well they work together. Also, the cameraman's narration is pretty spectacular....

It snowed all night. But it was the light fluffy kind that is good to eat with syrup frozen across it. I find this type of snow to be bearable and very pretty...unfortunately today it blinded me with its beauty. It just looked so safe and soft! Since it's Sunday I was in a dress (sans tights) and the only appropriate footwear (i.e., somewhat snow resistant) I could find were my cowboy boots. Turns out those things don't have a lick of traction, which...

Yesterday night I pulled out of my driveway only to discover (a little late, since my music was pretty loud) that I had a completely busted back tire. (But let's be honest, if it hadn't been for those sorority girls who kept honking at me until I finally rolled down my window in exasperation I probably would have driven on it for days.) I haven't had a flat tire since I was maybe 16 but I did know that I was not going to unload the 75 pounds of books...

My first show aired today from 7-10 AM (and will continue to do so every Friday morning at 89.7 KRUI). Minus a few debacles-- such as 1) accidentally playing a curse word 2) having to cut Bowie's oh! you pretty things short because I forgot there was a curse word in it and 3) accidentally leaving my mic live for two songs--thus, airing a sort of frantic phone call to the operations manager because I couldn't hear any music in the studio monitor--things...

Occasionally I attempt to be an adult, often with little to no success. But yesterday proved to be a turning point: 1) I went to work 2) I did work for 5 consecutive hours 3) I got an oil change on my way home from work. Totally grown up, right? What's better is that while I was getting my oil changed I also became a grown man's object of desire!It happened like this: [Jiffy Lube man entering my information into the computer, me awkwardly standing...

So a few months ago my university sent out a mass email calling for radio DJ applications. It was late and dreams of sweet tunes spun around my head so I logged into the site and sent my application into oblivion. I have always harbored this secret dream of being on the radio--in any form, really--and I figured why not give it a go? And friends, I am living proof that good things happen when you respond to mass emails: I found out yesterday that I am going to be Keeper of the Music every Friday morning!!! My idol Nic Harcourt, the former host of...

PANDA. EATING. BAMBOO! mind = blown. toddler panda consuming 50 pounds of bamboo sysematically = tru luv:dan, alan, and jon were perfect gems, letting me ooh and aah for as long as i wanted, perhaps even getting...

1. friendly customer service!!! with their committed and outgoing staff, chinatown bus should be your only choice for travel! the first thing they do when you enter their industrial-chic "space" (colloquially known as a "waiting room") is stare at their fingernails or at a stack of papers! then, after watching you from the corner of their eye for 15 minutes--AND if you show no outward sign of impatience/aggravation/aggression--they will wave a hand...
