And really bad at coming up with titles for blog entries.
But there it is…my mundane superpower is probably being able to sleep in really odd places.

Age 15 – took a 2 hour nap on the basement staircase at my grandparents’ house after enduring a 22-hour ride all hunkered up in the backseat of a Volkswagen
Age [...]

So proclaimed Max, with perhaps a touch of pride.
The past week’s snow made for super-sweet ski-biking, and last night a bunch of us dragged our contraptions out to Museum Hill and did what cabin-fevered mid-westerners do best…dumb things!

The big, goofy red-and-yellow rig is Joel’s latest creation.

Battered and weatherbeaten, “The Goat” is one of the local [...]

Half of a grocery cart, laden with a passenger, being towed behind a bicycle makes a pretty distinctive sound. A grinding, rattling, metallic rumble, sometimes accented with whoops, yelps, shrieks, and cursing.

Like this, basically.
We’d convened on Friday night as planned in Korruption, a fine and choice dive bar in the West Bottoms. It’s [...]

I know I’ve mentioned it, but the ad-hoc chariot races are on for Friday. It’s so official, there’s even a Facebook thingy for it. I’m so stoked I can hardly think straight…this is top quality stupidity on offer here.
Then on Saturday, the season opener for the KC Roller Sprints kicks off at Harling’s. [...]

Just What I Needed

Christi just got a frisbee that has a little LED light thingy in the middle of it.

We tested this theory this evening to a [...]

I said something recently about writing more frequently…and once again I did a lot of fun stuff, didn’t write about it, built up a backlog of postable material, got overwhelmed, and will be babbling forth a disjointed and photo-heavy entry…AGAIN.
So. We went to Nebraska this past weekend-ish. We left town Halloween night, did [...]

Lost my voice

As it happens when I don’t update in a while, lots of stuff goes on in my life…interesting stuff that I ought to write up, but don’t then when I finally get up the gumption to write, I’m just plain overwhelmed.
It’s like a larger and more personal dose of the anxiety I get when I [...]

I’m a total bum, and didn’t say a peep about Joel’s and my anniversary, but this past Sunday, it was a year since we did our “I do-ing.”

We went out to dinner on Friday and took Joel’s mom out and had a joint celebration, since her birthday was on Saturday.

One year ago yesterday, [...]

make trashmonade?
Yes, yes, I directly cribbed that from Strongbad and piemonade. Pretty much everything funny I’ve ever said was probably cribbed from somebody funnier than I am. Wit by proxy, isn’t it?
Anyway, I’ve been makin’ some trashmonade just lately.

You’re probably looking at this picture right now and thinking, “WTF does this lady’s laundry [...]

I pushed my way through a home-made revolving door into a diaphanous, amorphous, rustling pink antechamber. It was not unlike being encapsulated in a gigantic chewing-gum bubble. This was the entrance to Jaime Burkhart’s conceptual installation project, “Great Accommodations!“
The piece takes its form as a large, inflatable maze, a human-scale [...]
