Coming Clean

With six days to the move I find myself awake, after three hours of what would be best described as a full body shutdown.  The stress, the frantic running around, the bureaucratic shuffle with UofL, it all caught up with me today, during my last day of work at the Office Depot in Paducah.  I [...]

Deep Thought, 9:09PM, May 23, 2008

If computer mouses were called computer mooses, I would never be able to keep a straight face at work.

My New Place

Isn’t that the most ridiculous thing you’ve seen in your life? Maybe not, but considering it’s me? Thought so. Here’s a little history lesson for you, the Bernheim Mansion (above, obv.) This fine example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture was built in 1893 and contains over 8,000 square feet of exotic woods and interesting woodwork. This [...]

Mountain Dew Voltage Too Nerdcore For Minors

So I’m driving back from Louisville and we pull off of West KY Parkway at about Dawson Springs to get gas. While we’re at the gas station I’m looking at the drink section and I notice a couple of new Mountain Dew drinks. I grab a MD Voltage which is apparently berry, ginseng, and some [...]

Aramis Havana – The Legend & The Tragedy

A sad truth in the fragrance world is that the public, by and large, has awful taste. Mainstream garbage like Acqua di Gio is regurgitated endlessly by the media, the marketing teams, and the public itself. A fellow Basenoter once commented on the fact that he was once locked in a meeting with 10 Indian [...]

The World of Badly Named OD Products, Vol. I

So I’m in lockup this morning getting some tasks taken care of. I stumble across the item you see to your left. It is a real item, I am not clever enough to make stuff like this up. Enter the i.Beat emo, a device that I assume is an MP3 player for people I loathe. [...]

The Plan For Today

Try and get grades straightened out and transcript sent to UofL. Apartment Hunting on Craigslist. Make a sweep through the game stores, Wii Hunting. If none of the 5 stores have one I’m picking up Rock Band for the 360. Play whatever I picked up in the above bullet point. Write another cologne review.

Dear Insomnia

This is bullshit. This has to stop. I just want to go to bed! It’s not all about you, whether you think so or not. I have very important things to do in the morning that extend beyond “sleepin’”. And I realize it’s sudden, changing my mind after a week or 10 days. But I [...]

Dunhill Pursuit Revisited

My initial review of Dunhill Pursuit reads something like so: This stuff is great. I got a spray on paper yesterday at Sephora and decided to leave with a 1mL sample spray of the stuff. Wore three sprays, one to the neck, one to the belly, one to the back of the wrist. The four [...]

Stranger Things Have Happened

Goddamn this dusty room This hazy afternoon I’m breathing in this silence Like never before This feeling that I get This one last cigarette As I lay awake And wait for you to come through the door Oh maybe, maybe, maybe I can share it with you I behave, I behave, I behave So I [...]
