There’s so many leftover chocolate treats here at Supergenius HQ that the idea of choosing one has paralyzed me
Bragging to @JaycieKitty about my natural Bump-It bangs.
Christmas had come, officially, and we plunged into the cornucopia quivering with desire and the ecstasy of unbridled avarice
Someday I hope to weave a tapestry of obscenity that as far as you know is still hanging in space over Lake Michigan
In a comalike state after a Very St. Martin Christmas.
A drunk @Ericka is making this year’s a Very St. Martin Christmas one for the record books.
Kelli refuses to sing the John part while I take the Meshell Ndegeocello part on Wild Nights. She’s ruining a Mellencamp Christmas.
Trying to convince Kelli to do the Cherry Bomb routine as a Christmas Present to our family: http://bit.ly/6a5HXO
It’s a very Mellencamp Christmas here at Supergenius HQ.
7:27 a.m. and Kelli is re-enacting the infamous “I’m so Excited” scene from Saved by the Bell.
Pretty sure Kelli has missed the way I randomly burst into song. When you stay with me every day is a musical.
Kelli is threatening to tell the Internet all my secrets. Internet don’t believe her, she is full of lies.
Woke up this morning as Shaun Cassidy’s hair twin. It’s a look I’ll be rocking all day long.
Just saw a girl sporting old school North Stars goodie. Nice. Also the car radio is playing Ozzy ozbourne’s crazy train. #waitinginthecar

Well then, it looks like @markhurlburt just got himself uninvited to my yet to be planned Dawson’s Creek party. hrmph! More cheese for me.
Many thanks to the supersecret Santa who sent me the swanky orange iPhone case. Ziggy looks hot.
If the #blessedblizzard keeps people away for Christmas Eve dinner, I’ll be eating appetizers until Valentine’s Day
Come on Twin Cities after 3 weeks we only have 6 teams signed up for the @webchallenge. You can do better than that! (via @markhurlburt)
Sometimes, when something randomly goes wrong, I like to shake my fist at the ceiling and shout BUMPUSES!
None of the Jeopardy contestants are Philip Roth fans. The correct question, “What is Sabbath’s?” Duh.
Stereotyping people by their favorite indie bands: http://bit.ly/84jX14 The author one is better. I’ve only heard of 1/2 these bands
Bart Van de Vel's Insectoid →
We’ve got a lot of devoted designers within the Threadless community. Some people submit many times over, in hopes of getting a printing.
In honor of all the folks who devote time, energy,…
What kind of 30something whines about free stickers? @Ericka, that’s who
Today’s song lyric to sing out loud over & over? Cracklin’ Rose you’re a store-bought woman, but you make me sing like a guitar humming
My niece just accused me of using Comic Sans on an art project from many moons ago. She was wrong, but I’m still wounded.
Just finished Stitches by David Small. It hurt. I’ll be crying over this one for awhile.
Trying not to correct the woman raving about how good Candy Girl is.
B&N should hire me as an in-store critic because a lot if these people could use the help.
Wrapping gifts for the blind with @mydarlingcurse at the Barnes & Noble Calhoun.

Here’s the thing about the Internet, if you’re not careful you lose an hour looking at wedding & baby pictures of people you don’t even know
Will I go see The Runaways’ movie even if it stars the Twilight girl? Yes, probably: http://bit.ly/69KTfV
The UPSboy, who has been here everyday this week, is really cute. I wish he needed a signature. Instead he just ding dong ditches me. #sosad
Listening to New Yorker podcasts & playing Bejeweled like it’s a billable activity.
The only time being 6’5” isn’t quite tall enough for me is when I have to dust the ceiling fan on the 20ft ceiling.

Dear Mom and Dad, thanks for not ever making us do this shit. While cute, it’s also infinitely creepy to see a grown man dressed up like a toy…
There will always be a part of my heart that remains 10 years old and in love with John Cougar Mellencamp.
