Not much going on over here lately. Just busy with teaching, writing, working, and playing with Rory, the new bun. Look how cute he is, exploring everything.
Rory is, of course, short for Rorschach.
What can I say? I adore Watchmen. The graphic novel, the movie, everything. And Jackie Earle Hayle’s performance in the film was just utterly moving.
Expect more photos, and of course, more videos like this one.
Meet the new bun. I adopted him from my pal Amanda. I’m still trying to think of a name. He is heart meltingly cute and I am all kinds of happy right now.
Couple more shots after the jump. Videos forthcoming.

Sometimes Heather and I chase the rare, playful bunnerfly. It’s a bunny mixed with a butterfly. It’s also one of my gross pet names for Heather. Why? I’m not sure. Probably just to drive my friends crazy. But here we are, chasing them, in full color.
Big thanks to the ever talented Anthony Clark for this adorable print of me and Heather. His last one, where Heather and I were caught in a “bunderstorm” currently sits framed in my apartment and on my desk at work.
So recently, I went up to visit Heather, and we spent some time volunteering at the Ronald McDonald house in the suburban area of Albany, NY. Heather and her fraternity made some food for the local hospital, whipping up some tacos and Mexican dishes.
I spent a lot of time walking around the house and taking photos of the old mansion. It was a pretty shocking experience, seeing this beautiful place. I mean, McDonalds is a pretty terrible company, right? They’re responsible for a wealth of economic problems, the fattening of America, they are THE example of globalization, and a list of other things that I’m probably not educated enough to comment on. Afterall, I’m an English major.
But after seeing this, maybe they aren’t so bad.
Or perhaps that’s what they want me to think.

Happy April everyone! I felt this bun photo was appropriate for Spring. It’s Tim’s bunny, Vada, as a baby.
Back with updates soon. Possibly some cool party photos. I’ve had Farewell (Epitaph) and Powerspace (Fueled By Ramen) at the house recently. Drinks were had, trouble was caused, groupie hearts were broken… good times, all in all. Farewell will be back in Philadelphia in May, on tour with Hit The Lights. I’m gonna need a keg for that party.
Semester ends at the end of the month, my last summer class starts in May, I graduate with my MA in June. Where did all this time go? It feel like just yesterday I moved to Philadelphia to start my MA, driving here with a full head of hair and lots of hopes. Now, I’ll be wrapping up grad school, hopes fullfilled, head missing most of my hair.
I need to treat myself to a stress free tour with a popular band soon, before I lose it all.
Propecia in 2009!
Oh Ashlee, you were so cute when you were just a little baby bun. Back when I thought you were a boy. And your name was Ash. Now you’re so chubby that you get stuck inside soup pots.
The bun turned one today. She was six weeks old that fateful weekend when I got her at the end of March, and by that logic, her birthday is sometime this weekend. I’ve decided to make it on Valentine’s Day, because well, it’s easier to remember.
Heading up to Albany this weekend to celebrate Valentine’s Day with Heather. Can’t wait.
And to everyone who hates on Valentine’s Day, just shush. Sure, we should show the people we love how much we care about them everyday of the year, but your reasoning just doesn’t work. That’s like saying we should celebrate Christmas everyday, because we all should show our love for Jebus through our the year. Or Easter. Or St Patrick’s Day. Or Thanksgiving. Or Boxing Day, whatever the hell that is.
If we celebrated each of those holidays every single day of the year, we’d be broke from buying too many presents, stepping on eggs all over the damn place, drunk off our asses, extremely obsese, and then depressed because we’ve been giving away all the presents we recieved. Society would crumble, the world would be in shambles.
So do your part, and celebrate Valentine’s Day, damn it.
Ah, 2008. Hello. How are you? Let’s have a good run, okay? Thnx.
I’ve decided to make 2008 a healthier year. Not just for myself, but for my horribly overweight (but still incredibly cute) bunny. Yesterday, while hopping around the apartment, Ashlee jumped into a soup pot, and got stuck in there. She wiggled around for a couple seconds, and then gave up, sitting inside the pot contently. I’m cutting back on feeding her handfuls of everything from Reading Terminal Market. Who knew you could get so fat from too many veggies and fruits? My poor bun.
Me? I’ve stopped eating fast food. It’s true. When I moved to Philadelphia, I had a pretty sweet washboard stomach going on. Now, I’ve got a totally unsweet paunch. Like my bunny, who is stuck inside of a soup pot because she’s too fat to get herself out, I’ve gained a bit of weight, and it’s time to get rid of it. I’ve been soda and fast food free for the past week. The only time fast food will be acceptable, will be during visits home, where White Castle & Halo III nights with my best friend are tradition.
Here’s to a slightly more healthy year. Wish me and Ashlee luck!
So my first year of graduate school is officially over. I’ve managed not to fail out despite uprooting myself to a new city, moving three times in the span of four months, going on a tour, and working a full time job. Surprisingly, my girlfriend hasn’t broken up with me yet.
Just one more semester and a summer class, and I’m finished. I can’t wait. Then maybe it’ll be time for a break from school before I start my PhD in English. I’ve been in classrooms non-stop since I was… what, 10? When do kids go to kindergarten? At 25, I’m ready to take a break from those uncomfortable desks.
Right now, I’m ready to spend a week playing XBox 360 (I need to beat Just Cause), watching South Park episodes, eating bad food, and then cutting lose with my family and close friends in New Jersey this weekend. Christmas holiday mixtape to follow shortly.
And yes, admire my Photoshop skills with that LOLbunny I just made. Ashlee goes to the vet again in January to get fixed and have some blood work done (she has some swollen glands, poor thing), and Mittens the chinchilla has his first visit in February. My babies are growing up!
My debut novel comes out this Fall. You'll be able to download free audiobook podcasts
