Feeling ill… and not just because of the flu!

All my vague memories of staying home sick as a child involve watching the Price Is Right, being waited on hand and foot, and generally having a very good time of it. Now that I’m an adult, being home sick absolutely blows.

Things that go bump in the… well, anytime really

I’m not a huge believer in ghosts. I definitely fascinated by the possibility of their existence, and I love hearing people’s ghost stories — particularly when they’re first-hand — but I’m one of those people who has to see it to believe it. I lack faith, even in Class V Free Roaming Vapors. I’m like [...]

Life in bullet points, Vol. 3

You know when people say things like, “It’s been one of those days,” and all you can think is that they’re being really vague and you wish they’d use more precise language, and oh my gods!, they’re wearing the exact same scarf as you, how dare they… but you still get it somehow? Well. It’s [...]

Fog

Last week, we had a few really wonderful evenings (and mornings!) of dense ice fog down in the river valley. At no time was this more apparent than on Tuesday night, when my roommates and I waded through the mist with two idiot dogs.

'Dave? I'd take a bullet for ya'

I’ve had politics on the brain lately, as we released episode 9 of the Unknown Studio this long weekend.

The exaggerators of FML Friday

by Adam Rozenhart

Every now and then, the person or persons who submit their complaints to FMyLife.com are so clearly exaggerating that only a nincompoop would believe their fish tales. And when I say “every now and then” what I’m really trying to say is, “almost always.” These little submissions aren’t terribly long, but there are lines you [...]

Now on Saturday! It’s FML Friday!

by Adam Rozenhart

Very few things are better than creating a long weekend out of nothing more than a vacation day, and Saturday and Sunday. That’s precisely what I did yesterday at the precise time of this writing. I took the day off. I even took the day off from writing FML Friday, which is why this one appears [...]

FML, there’s no FML Friday today!

by Adam Rozenhart

I know that by this time today, you can always count on an FML Friday — a brief series of cheap laughs from yours truly — to help get you through the week. But you’re not going to get that this week. And rather than apologize for neglecting to blog — as my friend John [...]
