Do not prove a liar out of me.
Not after all we’ve been through. I defended you when you were down, praised your magic eye drops when it mattered, and waited three months for you to get your head together before deciding to commit to the rest of the season.
Now this.
Please don’t tell me [...]

I’m not really sure what to say to you anymore.
I’m disappointed? I feel hurt? Frustrated? But why is it so hard for you to understand that I get nauseous every time John Smoltz takes the mound? Why do you keep putting me through this? I thought we had something special going on this season.

I interviewed a retired professor yesterday. We were supposed to talk about his research. We were supposed to talk about how he shaped his field and impacted two generations of young scientists. We were supposed to talk about his hopes for the future. We were not supposed to talk about love.

My boss wandered into my office the other day to drop off a few assignments.

I’m not saying this is the latest tactic Emily and I used to secure an apartment over the weekend. But [...]

One year ago today I started this blog. At the time, I noted how it was only fitting I would join the Internets on Independence Day. My first entry I wrote about how I detested technology. Back then I was afraid of my phone, had no idea what Flickr was, and thought people who used [...]

After several months of apartment shopping in San Francisco, sifting through hundreds of ads on craigslist.org, separating the too-good-to-be-trues (they always are), from the junk (always posted in caps), and whittling it down to potential places in my price range (not much) – I’ve learned a few tricks.
