• Help Me Understand the Minimum Wage

  January 11, 2014

  Note that I'm posting this a day later on OD than Prosebox since OD wasn't usable for me last night. I'm not sure that much of anyone reads here anymore anyway (ok, ok, except for you IceGurlie). It actually sorta fascinates me that some people do still manage to use the site. But, anyway, h...

• Stupid Obsession

  December 28, 2013

  So, I have an embarrassing confession. I still think way too much about Kate/Gauri, aka the girl who carried on a friendship with me for years under a false online persona. You can read about the saga here. That I think about her at all is absurd, especially because the only reason I really think...

• Fun With Statistics

  December 23, 2013

  So, we all know that the economy has struggled in recent years. This is relatively undeniable, although I will admit that most people I know personally seem to be doing pretty ok. But one of the more distressing things I’ve been reading about is how even getting a college degree doesn&rsquo...

• Prenups

  December 20, 2013

  So, Heather and I want to get prenups. Most people we tell this to seem completely shocked and some seem to wonder why we would want to get married at all if we have such apparent doubts. I suppose I can understand their point of view. A prenuptial agreement isn’t exactly the most romantic ...

• Getaway

  November 29, 2013

  So, appropriately just after I decided to start “cross-posting” OD was not letting me note or access my bookmarks tonight. Go figure. IceGurlie, I apologize for leaving you tons of accidental notes! Anyway, I am at my parents’ for a Thanksgiving getaway, having left Heather at h...

• Prosebox

  November 28, 2013

  So, I am going to officially “cross-post” onto Prosebox from now on. To be honest, given the stability of OD, odds are that eventually I’ll just be exclusively writing on Prosebox, because I don’t imagine I’ll bother to constantly post entries on both sites if Open D...

• Expensive

  November 24, 2013

  I wrote an entry on Prosebox a bit ago and it was sorta amazing how quickly the site functioned and how easily I was able to note my friends who have migrated there. But OD seems to be working tonight, so I suppose I will write here. Although I do think having the prior entry…

• Marriage

  September 28, 2013

  Heather and I are getting married. I proposed to her a week ago today and we’ve spent the previous week trying to absorb the reality of this happening. In particular she is absorbing the reality since she wasn’t really expecting the engagement to happen RIGHT NOW. I’ve had the r...

• Because You Needed Another Opinion

  July 12, 2013

  I am so sick of the Trayvon Martin debate that I am now choosing to join in on it myself. This continues a trend of entries that I write because I’d rather write an entry here than discuss any issue on Facebook. You Open Diarists are so much more respectable. Anyway, back to the issue…
