This was clearly during Prince’s brief country phase. (at Township Auditorium)

Pretty sure this was right before his Prairie Home Companion appearance.

It wasn’t til I packed my pantry that I realized I had a badass old school iron bottle opener on my wall this whole time. What a missed opportunity to open more bottles.

I’ll miss my bachelorette pad but it’s time to move on to bigger and better things!

Proper usage of commas can prevent you from posting incredibly dirty signs on your door, or on Pinterest. This has been a public service announcement.

At this point in the moving process, we’re barreling through our belongings. It’s trash day, and I threw out some old furniture, which is probably inappropriate for Earth Day, but so is buying IKEA furniture in the first place. I’m sorry, Earth.

But I’ve certainly got boxes and old Twin Cities Runoff buttons, which can be found in every corner in my house.

Is this a quote from something, like I Shot Andy Warhol? Because I wrote it in a journal circa May 2005.

Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:07:49 -0500

This one’s been coming up a lot on my workout mix recently, and it’s wholly appropriate, all the time. Not just because the world is a horrible place that is constantly falling apart, or even because “Sometimes It Snows In April” doesn’t even begin to approach to the terrible precip of the past ten days, but because it’s one of the greatest songs about The Fear besides “The Fear” (Pulp, not Allen). It’s not because in Minneapolis preteens were throwing Molotov cocktails on the bike path.

I am almost finished with watching the whole of The Sopranos, so I am constantly having dreams about the mob, and I have been talking about my job for the past month and am just tired of talking about it. I visited San Francisco and realized that I missed art. I have no idea what to do with this Tumblr. I’d like to be writing more often, and I definitely want to get back to writing fiction. There are so many novels about the 70s out there that I have yet to read.

We move in together on May 1. I am enjoying, cautiously, my last few days of single living, and let me tell you, people in your 20s: live alone, if you can. Move to a city where you can live alone. Seek out a job where you can live alone. It is truly delicious to live alone. I will be sad to see it go away but very happy to move on to the next phase.

We make a pretty good team.

willdinski:

If you live in New York or plan to visit this spring, I hope you’ll consider stopping by the Center for Book Arts and appreciate their new exhibition, From Bande Dessinée to Artist’s Book: Testing the Limits of Franco-Belgian Comics. The show will be on display from April 19th to June 29th, and will feature a wide range of excellent comic art as well as my most recent letterpress artist book, At The End of an Action Movie.

I’m very excited to be a part of it. Wish I could be there.

Hey, NYC people, go to this exhibit and see a book I copy edited.

(Will is really awesome at making books. Once I told him that I read a review that said in The Silver Linings Playbook, Robert DeNiro’s character was into “bookmaking,” which made both of us want to see the movie. We were disappointed when DeNiro didn’t break out the letterpress or the bone folder.)

At the time, I liked “Cold Night,” “Black Tongue” and “Pin” better; they were more representative of my early 20s. At the time, a friend would sit his five-year-old niece in an office chair and spin her around until she was dizzy. I wonder what she thinks about “Maps” now, but I keep spinning back to it.

I am often unsure of the purpose of this Tumblr these days, but it’s a record of internet ad foolery over the years. Sale sale sale.

Stuff that happened. Finally went to all the neighborhood brewpubs and Shaw’s.

There may be a new donut shop in town, and it’s very good, but I have been dreaming about the strawberry buttermilk donut from Fonuts in Los Angeles since I tried it back in August.

If you’re going to Los Angeles, be sure to put this donut in your hand.
