You suck. I mean, I already knew that you sucked. You proved it four years ago when you didn’t listen to our valid roadway concerns way back in the day, choosing to side with a company in Ohio and Toyota over your residents (count your lucky stars there hasn’t been an accident on that road [...]

That spending $10,000 on my M.A., obtained from a prestigious Canadian university, has not gone to waste: after all, I get to print up documents for someone whose index finger is apparently broken! Squee!
Jesus Christ. Paying those student loan bills is painful simply because this place is so damn unfulfilling. I was promised this wouldn’t [...]

Ay.
So I’ve been off of all things wedding-related for the past two weeks. In the interim, my bridesmaids have ordered their dresses, my fiancé and his best men have been casually discussing suits, and two of the save-the-date/invitations that we sent out have been returned as undeliverable to me (I somehow transposed the street [...]

There is a new biography of Flannery O’Connor out this week: Brad Gooch’s Flannery: A Life of Flannery O’Connor. This coincides nicely with my first book list of 2009; I just finished The Complete Stories and have been toting around the tome in order to write the book list in my off time.
First know [...]
