http://baddminton.com Maybe a loser, maybe a sinner. Either way, a perpetual beginner - (The Dandy Warhols) Wed, 30 Jul 2008 23:24:34 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I've lived in LA for 5 1/2 years, and pretty much the whole time I've been here I've sung its praises. I love LA! I know I still do somewhere in here, but this summer, for the first time, I am ovah it. I want to get out of here. ... http://baddminton.com/archives/454 I went back into the bathroom after typing that blentry and didn't see a single spider. Woke up in the morning, no suspicious bites anywhere. Phew! I thought I was home free. Until last night, when I'd just gotten out of the shower and was leaning over with my hair ... http://baddminton.com/archives/449 How many spiders do you reckon come in a litter? A litter? Is that the correct term? or a batch, maybe? Like, if a mommy spider lays eggs, how many baby spiders generally do you think will be in that batch? I ask because, well, I was about to wash my ... http://baddminton.com/archives/448 It's dusk in Sayulita Night one of our adventure The air is warm, the ocean warmer Sun sets on one side, Full moon rises on the other and we are in between Reflections on the water like yellow glass Dinner has settled Drinks have gone to our heads We smile and spin, drowning in the romance and holy mother ... http://baddminton.com/archives/446 Remember the mystery of the never-empty office toilet paper? I walked by the janitor's cart just now and saw a pile of take-home rolls, as pretty as you please! Oh, sweet relief! They're not throwing away the toilet paper. Finally, for the first time since Tuesday, August 14th, 2007, I ... http://baddminton.com/archives/443 The new soap in the bathroom at work smells like bad piña coladas, like the kind made with malibu rum and a pre-made mix. Incidentally, I've often thought bad piña coladas taste like soap. Coincidence? I think so. http://baddminton.com/archives/442 Ugh, I am so horrible at updating my blog! There was a time when I had free time. That time is past. When I started this blog almost three years ago, it was my only creative outlet, and I needed it to stay sane. The good news is, I'm ... http://baddminton.com/archives/440 OK, y'all, riddle me this: We got a bunch of these paper plates at work, and I looked at them and for a second was like, "Oh, good -- recycled!" Then I took a closer look... Those little rats! Right? They're trying to fool old people and people who don't read things carefully ... http://baddminton.com/archives/435 Y'all, this is so trippy. I'm pretty sure my future self accidentally called my present self from a plane at LAX. I got this voicemail -- the kind where someone's phone accidentally dials you so there's just muffled talking for a minute or two, and I swear to you I ... http://baddminton.com/archives/433 I just did the dumbest thing. I was pulling into the parking garage at work and putting my window down so I could scan my keycard, and I was concentrating on the window, because there's a blob of bird doodoo on the top part, and I didn't want to put ... http://baddminton.com/archives/427
