December 30th, 2025 It’s that time again to list my favorite things of the year! (Wait, nobody asked? I don’t care. Everyone loves lists.) I was able to choose a top ten in every medium except television, which got thirteen picks and I could not reduce it any further (for real, I tried and itContinue reading “Best of 2025”

Men With(out) Fear
March 5th, 2025 I am (clearly) a massive fan of Daredevil; this photo was taken on one of my best friend’s wedding day. (No, he did not allow me to stand before the congregation like this, a missed opportunity in my opinion.) The new season just started on Disney+ and it is not only fuckingContinue reading “Men With(out) Fear”
Live From New York
February 16th, 2025 I’m an SNL fanatic. It has almost never been a popular thing to be or to say out loud. Even as the nerds had their revenge and became a force in popular culture, SNL has always been a target for haters, of which there are many. But I have always been aContinue reading “Live From New York”
Best of 2024
December 23rd, 2024 As I remind you every year: lists are so stupid, and oh do I love lists. These aren’t the “best” in the same way we rank athletes or products; these are the things that best captured my imagination, best dominated my conversations, best made me think and feel and moved my soulContinue reading “Best of 2024”
Summer ’95
June 10th, 2024 I heard Seal’s “Kiss From A Rose” this morning while running errands and I was taken straight back to the summer of 1995. As I considered my own power, my pleasure, my pain, I daydreamt about what I would be doing then. I had just turned ten years old. I would probablyContinue reading “Summer ’95”
Best of 2023
December 17th, 2023 Lists are so stupid. I know it. Shut up. And I adore them so much. There is nothing that will stop my scrolling like a good (or bad) list. I love learning what people love; it’s always been a weird hobby of mine. With that being said, here’s a few lists fromContinue reading “Best of 2023”
The Words I Needed Then
July 31st, 2023 Today is the last day of Brushfire month, which means I can shut up about it for a little while now. I tell people that I don’t write for an audience, and that is generally true; I don’t sit down and think of a target person, their age or gender or preferencesContinue reading “The Words I Needed Then”
the graetness of being human
July 10th, 2023 “Every night you make somebody’s day.” I can’t easily explain why I’m still in the restaurant business after all these years. There are the reasons I keep freely between my fingers like playing cards, displaying them when people ask me to show them a magic trick. As a writer who makes veryContinue reading “the graetness of being human”
Football is Life (and Death)
May 30th, 2023 I’m posting this absolute thirst trap to talk about my two favorite shows right now which, like this photo, are about soccer and not about soccer at all. Yellowjackets and Ted Lasso couldn’t be more different on paper, but they share more than their European football connection; they compliment one another, andContinue reading “Football is Life (and Death)”
The Final Countdown!
March 24th, 2023 Happy Friday! Today’s video is about THE END of my Kickstarter (LESS THAN A WEEK LEFT) and all the pop culture stuff I’m into right now, which includes: – Fall Out Boy‘s killer new album– How we live in the best timeline, because on Wednesdays we wear pink, and we also getContinue reading “The Final Countdown!”
