Coming to You From the Dirty South

first of all, while i’ve been gone i received an award from my favorite central-missourian blogger, ourcrookedtree.  you can see my Brillante Weblog award over on the right.  i was BEYOND stoked to make her short list, and i would like to follow her rules and nominate seven other blogs for being totally Brillante:

On the Road

keep an eye out for us!

ThisClose

the look of my living room right now.  i have a lot of crap.  but i mean, i got most of my clothes into those three suitcases!  and all of my kitchen stuff into only like 6 boxes!  all in two days of solid packing.  now the rev is en route via greyhound – he [...]

Reveal A Secret Thursday VII, Beep BEEP BEEEEEP

this week’s reveal a secret involves the rev’s fondness for a certain auto feature.  underused in the midwest, overused in the east and west, the car horn is helpful to ward off accident, scare away small creatures, or toot hello or goodbye.  the rev, however, has interpreted his car horn to be an excellent noisemaker [...]

My Old Office

as of today, i no longer enter this building every day for work.  i kind of try to edge around where i work when i work there, for safety’s sake, but now it’s fine to say that i worked at a kansas city landmark, the nelson-atkins museum of art.  i have worked there since march [...]

Redundant

i feel like this little alert is rather pointless, as the majority of you come to this website via his website, but i just guest posted over at the reverend’s site. check it out. i’m too tired to write something lengthy here on top of it. lame.

Reveal a Secret Thursday VI, The Emperor Decrees

by now you all know how the rev revels in attention.  he bathes in it, moisturizes with it, and glories in it.  and he has recently expanded the group of minions he demands attention from into the non-human realm.  in fact, they aren’t even alive.  apparently there is this game called “emperor: rise of the [...]
