Who are the people you've worked with over the years that you'd list as your Coworker Superstars? Why'd they make the cut? Submitted by bodhibound. Wayyy back in university, my main job was working for the university catering outfit. We were a ...

QotD: You'd Never Believe It

nobody@vox.com(GinBaby) — Sun, 17 Jun 2007 01:49:42 -0700

What story from your wild-and-crazy youth would nobody believe about you today? I think it's a safe bet that there are plenty of them. Most people couldn't believe them even at the time, because I do not and have never dressed wild or crazy or ...

Today was pretty good, much better than the past few days. Tonight, as I was scanning my hard drive yet again to get rid of the evil fuck known as Vundo, I found myself flipping through an old photo album from my first year in Japan. It include...

Well, tomorrow is the fifth anniversary of my first date with my husband. No, he doesn't remember. Every year on the first Sunday in April (I don't know the actual date--I could look it up, but the "first Sunday in April" seems fine to me) I go...

Baudrillard RIP

nobody@vox.com(GinBaby) — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 22:42:26 -0700

Jeez. I just found out Jean Baudrillard died last week. Jean, you and me, we had some good times. Le systeme des objets, sadly, was not one of them. I loved the way you were so fiercely and unmistakably French. I loved the way you did not h...

Does Casablanca have snowmen?

nobody@vox.com(GinBaby) — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 23:53:14 -0800

How did you meet your current, or most recent, significant other? It totally was kismet. Did I already write about this? If you already know the story, by all means, visit someone else's blog. It was a sunny spring day in Shizuoka Prefecture, ...

People I Love, vol. V

nobody@vox.com(GinBaby) — Sun, 31 Dec 2006 00:32:37 -0800

This is the long-overdue Heidi issue. Heidi Junkersfeld and I met when we both worked for the catering service on campus at Laughingstock University. It was a bizarre job--weird hours, weird coworkers, forced exposure to Kenny G and Paul Anka i...
