We could live beside the ocean leave them far behind swim out past the breakers watch the world die. -Everclear, “Santa Monica” Russ and I went down (up? over? out? – I have no sense of direction in LA) to…

I Love LA
I could never imagine living in Southern California, but this region of the world has pretty much always served the same role for me. It’s basically the exact role in my life that it pitches to everyone everywhere at all…
2009 West Coast Farewell Tour Commences!
If you need me, I’ll be at Russ’ for the next nine days. If you’re David Kunkel, please respond to my e-mails because I’d really like to break the streak of years where we’ve just missed seeing each other. Possible…

Oxford on the Board
We can put a + next to the O in our CHOPY algorithm, but it should be noted that there are a whopping 3 total programs within Oxford and Em only got into one today, the one-year Masters in African…
This Ballgame is Tied
I’m sick and exhausted and about to fall asleep on the couch by the heater with a pile of blankets. Barring a miraculous recovery, my odds of trudging to work in the rain tomorrow are somewhere below an Italy-Chinese Taipei…
