The Catalyst that is Michigan Weather

It occurred to me that it seems everyone who moves to Michigan from somewhere else, suddenly becomes real elitist about the weather. I don’t know what it is about this place that brings that out, but I’ve heard more people talk about the weather they miss so much from New York (?) or Colorado or …

Chinese New Year

Well, Happy Chinese New Year, or as they say in English in China “Happy New Year.” I realized this morning that I actually have no idea why Chinese New Year falls when it does, but they don’t play by Western standards, and I always respect that. It’s also Ash Wednesday, so happy that too I …

Last Day

I punched out and said my goodbyes, and thus ended Best Buy’s (or His Satanic Majesty, as I like to call it) opressive hold on my life. And yet I still felt a twinge of sadness as I said goodbye and walked out the door, making my last purchase with my employee discount, and having …

Christmas Wonderings

It’s always around this time of year that I wonder what the members of the bands “Cannibal Corpse,” “Slayer,” or “Iron Maiden” do for Christmas. Do you think they open their presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? Who plays Santa? Do their mothers always insist on having cranberry sauce at dinner even though no …
