Learning Polish in Krakow

Hello friends -

A belated greeting from Krakow! I haven't emailed yet partially since I have pretty killer jetlag (it's getting better), and partially because, as of yet, there seems to be relatively little to report. On Friday, Jim flew into Pittsburgh, and we drove to Jersey right after my graduation ceremony.

Jim Baker Draws The World...




...imaginary city block by imaginary city block. Scans of my recent artistic obsession, the Automatic City. Prime for the referential aegis of WikiMapia? Indubitably!

Top Ten of the aughts

Here ya go, kids -

It's 2009 and we're going to figure out on our own the top 10 pop/rock/hiphop (ie nearly everything except the weird shit david listens to) albums of the decade. Jerry and I fully expect this conversation to rage the entire year. Feel free to include others. At some point we may need to transfer to a different forum. Suggestions thus far are:

Wake Up Sleepy Blog...

Hello Friends,
Where have you gone? Are we trying to get kicked out of the blogosphere? Do we not enjoy posting anymore? Do we have nothing interesting to talk about? Please prove me wrong.
Hugs and Kisses,
Dorki

Because you kiss me in your sleep...

Tragic news came to me today,
Heartbreaking, confusing, cold morning news.
And you were there,
Without asking, you were there.
You show up, always,
Support, always,
Love, always.
Kind, strong, selfless, and true,
You are a better person than me.
Your love brings tears to my eyes,
Tears I don’t deserve,
Love I’ve always dreamed of.
You are more,
You are so much more.
Ana bahebic ya habibi, ana bahebic.

House Bill 69

In light of recent events, I am proposing a Constitutional Amendment to the House of Nerds blog. It seems to me that the name of the blog "Stuck in Maryland" is no longer entirely accurate to certain bloggers who frequent this site. In stark contrast with my strictly conservative traditionalist views, I would like to suggest that the name be changed to fit the rapidly changing social climate of America.

Jim's pictures

Hey guys! The blog's been dormant for awhile, and Dorki has been begging for some life to be breathed back into it. Luckily, my enormously talented boyfriend has produced some pictures which I think are post-worthy, so I wanted to pass them on to you.

Quote of the Century

“When we find ourselves believing that killing a man makes us more of a man, but loving a man makes us less of a man, it’s probably time to reexamine our criteria for manhood.”

So refreshing to hear a straight man say this. Jay Smooth definitely made me smile today. Check out the clip "Who is the Gay Rapper" as well as more of Jay's clever spoken word at http://www.illdoctrine.com/.
