Last Sunday True Blood wrapped up its seven season run, after which I Tweeted and Facebooked: “Thank god that’s over. #TrueBlood” I meant it, too, because this seventh season has been a boring slog that Kristin and I have watched for the sake of completion, and basically no other reason.

As I post this on a Friday, I realize many of you are making and/or finalizing plans for the weekend. That’s all well and good, but I’d like you to look just a bit beyond that and think about what you’re doing on Tuesday of next week. Wait. “Tuesday?” you ask incredulously, fully understanding that…

For basically the first time in my life, I ran on the treadmill for an extended period of time. To quote myself whenever I talk about running, “I did not enjoy it!” But then, I also sort of did because the treadmill is an interesting machine that makes you think you’re a better runner than…

Most nights as I wind down, I absent-mindedly scroll through Buzzfeed because the content is not challenging, and I’m looking to clear my crowded head from all the noise rattling around inside it. Most Buzzfeed content is terrible (and not even all that well-curated), but there is a shitload of it, and there’s something to…
