Clark bar.

January 28, 2010
Thumbnail image for Clark bar.

Last weekend I was invited to join my friend for a get-together at the Dakota Wizards vs. Los Angeles Defenders basketball game here in Bismarck.
There’s not much to say about the actual game, other than if you mix in a few beers as a spectator, a larger variety of behavior is apparently acceptable. (I only [...]

Favre drinking game.

January 16, 2010
Thumbnail image for Favre drinking game.

I’m not a drinker, but if I was, Sunday would be the day. This is because of the “Favre 3:16” phenomenon that I had described earlier. This Sunday, the Vikings play an important game that they, according to several people I’ve asked, probably won’t win. Their victory or loss will have no effect on the [...]

Grouping and clumping.

October 26, 2009

“They’re just trying to group the customers together,” I said, trying to reassure myself more than anyone else.
“It’s not so much grouping as it is clumping!” my friend said.
I had to agree. We were packed in tight.
It’s never fun when the restaurant hostess leads you through a half-empty eatery with cozy booths and empty, quiet [...]

Halloween header: no free candy.

October 10, 2009

In the past, I’ve switched out my web site header for the season.
I’m too lazy to bother, now.
I did have some rather funny Halloween-themed headers, though.
As my friend and I hurriedly discussed, while visiting together in Jamestown, I’d rather celebrate Halloween than go to a church “harvest party” which sounds incredibly more pagan than Halloween.
“It [...]

Sugar and spice.

September 29, 2009

In low voices, heads ducked in closer over the table, the women verbally eviscerate another who is not present. Or, as I walk through Target, in between commenting on clothes they simply must have, I hear two college girls slice and dice the reputation of a girl who they both considered their friend.
What to say?
I [...]

The Illustrated Resume: T-Shirt Designer.

September 9, 2009

I’ve worked off and on for nearly ten years as a designer in a store that personalizes nearly every item imaginable, as well as specializing screen printing T-shirts. I’ve made my fair share of school, sport, and event T-shirts, and it isn’t at all uncommon for me to see people out wearing my work when [...]

The Illustrated Resume: Insurance Office.

August 30, 2009

The summer I decided to remain in Moorhead and not go home from college, picking up a few summer school classes and finding work, turned out to be a humbling one. I applied for nearly ten jobs before I finally found one working at an insurance company.
I found myself taking a math aptitude test prior [...]

The Settlers of Catan.

June 3, 2009

In a great upset, the last round of the illustrious game left me in defeat. It now stands at

Julie: four wins
Mark: two wins

I really hate losing.
“You have all the resources! Stop building roads! You’re stealing my road strategy! Now you’re stealing my development card strategy! My gosh, you’re killing me! How many points do you [...]

The hangar queen.

March 22, 2009

My dad’s plane is wonderful.
I’ve nicknamed it Chip.
Lately it’s spent some time in the shop. “Little” maintenance issues, and such.
I still think it deserves its collection of action-packed images shared with the general readership of this blog.
Prepare to be wowed.
