Thanks Lizz. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you writing that.
That said, this was TOTALLY my fault. TOTALLY my fault. I waited on her to have 'the talk' when i knew she wanted to have it and continued to play the field-- i didn't date anyone else, but i was still out there looking. and then i made a date with someone else and she immediately packed up shop and got with someone else she was burning for. I could have nailed her down and I STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID didn't. I kept on keeping on waiting for her to initiate. I know she liked me. I drove her to someone else by not showing i could commit earlier. The flowers were too late for her to understand what she really meant.
I really just want to think of something else, but I can't. I can't stop thinking about it. I hate it. Hopefully the weddings this weekend will force my mind onto something else. |

Let me clarify: I got a *second* job. I was never not employed.
/self conscious correction.
Anyway, I'm the newest wedding DJ for Bellagala, an award winning wedding service vending company based in St. Paul.
Go out there and get married, people! Drum up some business. |

Hilarious exchange with the girl who lives in the apartment below me:
Nikki: Why is the roof dripping onto the front steps [and freezing]? this is way worse than last year.
Me: Oh, you know what? that roof is above my bedroom and its worse because I keep it a sauna. |

you know what really pisses me off? the new york times has this big, awesome, comprehensive, no nonsense electoral map with bubbles to indicate the size of every county in the nation and red or blue to indicate who won. but it doesn't shade the bubbles to the degree the candidate won or lost. So close to perfect, new york times, and you just fuck it up.

The nice thing about having a boss who is blind
is that when she gives you the axe because she also happens to be crazy
she doesn't see you when you come back to pick up your plants
If you know anyone hiring, I'm back on the market, Minneapolis. |

Occasionally America turns out to be every bit as good as its hype.
Unfortunately this wasn't that kind of occasion. Alaskans sent a convicted felon back to the senate, Californians annulled gay rights, Arkansas made it illegal for gays to FRAKKING ADOPT CHILDREN, MY GOD, and Michele Bachmann is still a f*cking congresswoman.
We may have change in the White House (and that can't be overstated enough) , but its still a pretty ugly nation folks. |

Highlights from Colorado:
- Ran into an OKCupid girl I'd talked to online two months ago! Amazingly, I had thought about asking her for a drink and decided against it..... and then ran into her anyway in the 2 hours (at night, no less) when I was in Fort Collins.
- Climbed 'the Palace' in a crown...
- Spent some quality time with some of my favorite ex-twin citizens
- Lost my beloved Nalgene bottle while walking across the Poudre River
- Saw beautiful Poudre Canyon and Pingree Park
- Got pulled over in Wyoming "Do you know how fast you were going?" "Yes I do! 83.", talked my way out of a ticket with a drawl and well placed beef jerky, got profiled as a liberal pot smoking hippie and then challenged the state trooper to search the car (hey, I've always got time to make a cop look like an idiot).
- Came home $34 under budget
- Pictures Here and Here

my "Sarah Palin is George Bush in a Dress" bumper sticker on Cafepress.com was bought by someone yesterday. Someone who lives in Alaska.
THATS pretty awesome. |

I got turned away at the polls today.
We just moved to our current address. We have a legally binding rental agreement, signed and dated, and that's all I have to prove I live where I live. Apparently Its not official enough because it doesn't delineate EXACT payment prices for bills. I've never seen one that does.
I can't get someone to vouch for me because I don't know anyone registered at this precinct. Kind of a Catch 22: if I don't have any bills yet because I just moved, how should I know someone in the immediate neighborhood who is a registered voter at this new precinct-- aside from going door to door asking strangers who don't know me from adam.
So with a passport to prove I'm a US resident and a legal rental agreement to live IN the precinct, I could not vote.
Incredible. |

For the record, before I'm wrong and Obama chooses some milquetoast white guy (to show David Brooks he's not a dirty hippie) I'm still banking on Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius. Among the big 4, I think the absolute dead silence coming from her camp says to me something is fishy. Fishy indeed. Also, I thought her denial, "We'll know in a week," was much more ambiguous than Kaine or Biden, who have said "No one's talked to us" or "it's not me."
But if I'm wrong, please, let it be Gore. or Batman. |

I really should get a new blog for this.
There was a great piece in The Hill where they asked all 97 senators who aren't running for president: What would you say to being offered the Veep slot on a ticket?
Best answers include:
Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.)
“Yes. Sign me up. I’ve been kidding people for years: The hours are better, the wages are just as good — whoever heard of a vice president getting shot at? — and it’s a great opportunity to travel. And actually since time has gone by, the job is robust … So sure. Anybody here would, if they’re going to be honest. The chances are slim to none. But I promise you, I would deliver all three of Delaware’s electoral votes.”
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.)
“If I were asked I’d probably have to get a divorce, so the answer would probably be no."
Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) (of Minneapolis International Airport Bathroom fame)
“I would say ‘No, Hillary.’ ”
Hah!
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa)
“No, I’d have Jon Stewart stand in for me. Jon Stewart. That’s my guy.”
Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.)
“I plan to stick with my current job until I get the hang of it.”
Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.)
“I’ve been waiting for someone to come up and propose it. I already told my wife to get ready to move. It has a beautiful living facility."
Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.)
“Once is enough. I already have the T-shirt and I’m proud of it. I yield to my colleagues.”
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.)
“If I were asked, I would ask some mental health professionals to visit Barack Obama. I just think Sen. Obama is way too smart to pick me. I’m not a good pick, and he’s smarter than that. That’s why he’s going to make such a good president.”
McCaskill gets a lot of talk about Veep. Its almost like she wants to say "No, Barack wouldn't ask ME to the prom...."
Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.)
“Absolutely. Absolutely. I think I would be great. First of all, I know how to behave at weddings and funerals. And I know how to be commander in chief. I’d bring a lot of fun to the job. We would rock the Naval Observatory.”
Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.)
“No. I don’t cut ribbons well or give eulogies at funerals.”
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.)
“I would ask, ‘Are you serious?’"
Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska)
“No. I’ve got too many things that I still want to do as a senator. And I don’t like the idea of a job where you sit around and wait for someone to die.”
That's kind of ironic coming from an 84 year old man.
And last,
Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.)
“The chances of that are so remote that I’m more likely to be hit by an asteroid.”

Radio K got a GREAT mention on Pitchfork today. And while I hate hate hate the elitism around Pitchfork-- who talk down about us through the whole paragraph-- the exposure is a great triumph for Radio K. The writer is misinformed in general (they refer to 89.3 The Current as a "show" on MPR), but hey, they were smart enough to pick up press release Machen/Anna sent them. Here's the mention, in the "Forkcast" section:
What is it with Minnesota and public radio? Why do they have it so good? Is it Garrison Keillor? Anyway, here on Forkcast we regularly point you to studio sessions from Minnesota Public Radio show "The Current". And it turns out the University of Minnesota's student station Radio K also has regular in-studio performances which they then offer as downloadable mp3s. A recent session with Jens Lekman found him playing "It Was a Strange Time in My Life" and "Shirin", and he pretty much always sounds great in these intimate settings. Going back a couple of weeks, Bon Iver, whose fantastic album For Emma, Forever Ago is a big-time grower, sat down for "Creature Fear", "Flume", and "Lump Sum".
Get ready to link to Radio K a lot, Pitchfork, because we're getting a $140,000 studio upgrade this fall.
