Seems to me that of late I’ve been a bit of a hermit. I don’t really get out much since I work at a restaurant literally hundreds of feet from my front door, and that job doesn’t really include a legitimate social outlet, unless you include old gay men, white trash tourists, and stoner [...]
Not to be confused with Tom Wolfe, Thomas Wolfe wrote the hugely successful American novel Look Homeward, Angel. It dealt heavily with his own upbringing in Asheville and what he thought of the people around him when growing up there. The title alone I have a problem with, considering my trek home this past [...]
Time for Top Chef episode 7, and this one promised to be a doozy and was kind of a let down. The drama and entertainment of this show always has the potential to be more than it is, but at the same time, I can’t turn away. Maybe I have faith that it [...]
As many of you may recall, I was invited by my brother’s girlfriend to a sorority date party a few weeks ago. Despite my age, I decided to go and actually had a great time. In fact, I had so much fun that my date called me the next day to thank me [...]
Before I write anything else, I’d like to clarify that the title of this post is “served” a porn star last night and not “serviced.” As in, I brought him a salad and a sandwich and did not, in fact, perform fellatio on him.

So as I sit in my room on my whopping 45 minute break from a 14 hour day at the restaurant, I start to realize how much time I have left in the District. Now that I’ve accepted the offer from Vanderbilt, I have a little over three months to do everything I’ve meant to [...]
After last week’s clusterfuck of an epic novel for Top Chef, I’m going to scale down this week. I don’t need to comment on everything on screen. Welcome to the condensed, edited version of awesomeness.
Spike is convinced that people want him gone because he’s a threat. People most likely want him gone because he’s a [...]
I recently visited the new Nationals stadium and actually had a pretty decent time. The new stadium is gorgeous, the Nationals were a blast to watch, everything about the place was amazing. Well, minus a few things. A flask is absolutely necessary to anyone who isn’t a doctor, since the cheapest drink I could find [...]
I’ve been waiting tables on and off for five years now. I’ve never had it worse than working here in DC. This post has been a thought storming in my head for a long time, and it concerns the proper behavior that is so rarely used in restaurants. It involves how you, [...]
Another week means another blog post about Wednesday’s Top Chef. I get more excited about watching these than I do about Survivor these days. This unsettles me for some reason. But then, this season of Top Chef is possibly the best ever, whereas this spring’s Survivor certainly leaves something to be desired. These chefs seem [...]
