I have virtually no experience with any kind of smartphone, but now that Verizon is putting something tempting in their lineup, I am feeling inclined to leave the stone age and join the movement.
My dilemma here is whether to opt for the iPhone or to go with an Android OS and pick the HTC Thunderbolt.
Any ideas or suggestions?

WatchHave you fucktards ever even been to Taco Bell?! It’s 99 cents for a half pound burrito; what are you expecting?

I have not mentioned this to many people, but my younger brother, who is going to be a father in about a month, is currently living with me.
It’s a strange situation: he recently graduated college, he’s in the Army Reserve, he’s going to be a father soon (have I mentioned that?), and he was eager to obtain an ‘adult’ job for obvious reasons. Long story short, he is...

I cannot count the number of Blue/Orange/Brown Line trains that I’ve missed due to people refusing to walk on the escalators.
Move, you gastropods. It. is. not. a. damn. carnival. ride.

My youngest brother turns 17 this week. I sent him a card with a hand written message inside, along with $17 (GET IT?!), and addressed the envelope to “Super Special Burfday Boy!” I have achieved grandmother status.

A mild drink with coworkers
I can’t tell you the exact moment that it occurred, but I believe that it was when my associate mentioned how important Jan (pronounced Yan) Hammer was to the original Miami Vice soundtrack. Or maybe it was while we were discussing how much we love kids, but we just don’t plan on having any of our own anytime soon. Regardless, we were sipping on craft beers in the West Loop of...
I love irritating impressions of people who I can’t stand in the first place. Thanks, Frank Caliendo!

In totally unrelated news, this year people will turn 21 despite being born in nineteen fucking ninety. Totes Kewl!!!
Also, I’m still mildly hungover.
Mad stupid weird, yo.
For reasons that I don’t even know, I reeeaally want to attend a police auction. I have never been to one (a police one, at least), and I’m extremely curious to view A) the clientele, B) the goods, and C) any additional suspicious or questionable happenings. I guess that this is the website directing me to such an event (next one’s in February, y’all!), but it looks...

I'm in the shower and I hear giggling coming from...
Me: What's so funny?
Claire: *giggling*
Me: Hey, what are you laughing at?
Claire: *laughing louder*
Me: HEY!!! What are you laughing at?!
Claire: *laughing is now hysterical and probably being herd by the neighbors at this point*
Me: GOD FUCKING DAMMIT WHAT IN THE FUCK IS SO FUCKING FUNNY?
Claire: SHUT THE FUCK UP! KEEP TAKING YOUR SHOWER!
Me: SO HELP ME, I WILL WALK RIGHT OUT OF HERE NAKED AND SLAP YOU!!!
Claire: I WOULD LOOOOOOVE TO FUCKING SEE YOU TRY, YOU GROATY LITTLE WIMP!!!

Anyways, this went back and forth for about three hours, because I take really long showers, but what I'm trying to get at is, Claire and I are going to be moving in together soon, YAY!!! So, if you think that you may want to have neighbors like us, and there's a nice place opening up near you, let us know! We'd really love to check it out!
Oh, and she was laughing at 'Parks & Rec.'

Claire bought me banjo lessons at the Old Town School of Folk Music!!!
I’m so damn excited; I cannot wait to start.
Oh, and she also had some guy draw a picture of me as a cat:
To my left is my French press; to my right is Bruce.

Saying "list" with a lisp will basically describe...
Aaaand, I might as well dole out a Top of 2010 List, right? Right
11. Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More - Banjos are so hot right now. 10. Sufjan Stevens - The Age of Adz - Doieee 9. The National - High Violet - Maybe I’m biased because of “Bloodbuzz Ohio,” but I don’t think so. 8. Arcade Fire - The Suburbs - The only time that I like Bruce Springsteen is when it’s...
