If I Worked at Everyman

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

The Everyman Theatre is one of the best theaters in Baltimore. They make great art. They consistently sell out their shows. Everyman gets big props.

They also just climbed on board the Twitter wagon.

Now, I’ve got nothing but love for Everyman. And there’s nothing really wrong about how they’re using Twitter. [...]

Russia Day 8

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

You thought I forgot, didn’t you? Nah, I’ve just been busy. Self-employment has a way of occupying more hours than normal employment. But I have it here, right on my to-do list: “FINISH RUSSIA BLOG”. So let’s take a dip into day eight.

In referring to my notes for day eight, [...]

Last Day in Russia

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Today’s our last day; we leave tomorrow morning.

Tonight we get on a night train bound for St. Petersburg and points north. We [...]

Well, let’s get this photo out of the way right out of the gate:

Red Square at twighlight, trying not to look exhausted.

We arrived at around 4 AM our time, and stumbled into the puddly, smokey Moscow airport in a daze of excitement and slight trepidation. Apart from a sour young customs lady who snapped [...]

Not Just Any Yogurt…

Not Christ?

Because there definitely wasn’t room to spell my whole name.

TODO: The Doorknob Door

Sunday, December 16th, 2007

I’ve decided to start cataloguing some things I want to do.

First installment: the Doorknob Door.

Step 1) Buy a house.

Step 2) Choose an appropriate door. The work room/study is the clear choice, but if you’re feeling eccentric you could go as bold as the front door.

Step 3) Install many doorknobs into the door. One [...]
