I say this on the daily.

LOL — Me too!

The Superbowl is boring. Ask me anything. http://formspring.me/awelfle

It’s a Goomba-stopping mushroom-popping mustached man! (NSFW)

College Humor has a wrap about the original Gameboy Super Mario Land. Excellent. Though the language is a little bit crude.

Some days I wake up and I think I’m gonna start wearing a beret. But I dont do it. But I will someday, you betcha… I think you should too. We could be beret buddies, you can hang in my crib. What do you think?

THIS IS THE BEST IDEA I’VE HEARD ALL DAY.

And to give you some perspective, today has also included this idea: “Those stuffed mushrooms look gluten-free. You should try some!”

And they were delicious.

Beret buddies it is! I want mine to be tweed.

Ask me anything

Do you do any art? Post it anywhere?

I like to think that every situation in my life is a work of improv performance art, so art is anywhere and everywhere that I am. It’s a good thing that my name’s not Arthur, or else the world would just implode with my artiness.

Ask me anything

What is your favorite place to be in solitude, and why is it your favorite?

I like to be in solitude at home, on the couch, watching Good Eats, but only if Katie and Sachen are there. The best kind of solitude is the kind you can share with family.

Ask me anything

If your brain was like Twitter, what three topics/hash tags would be trending right now?

Do you believe in sexy mexicans?

if the world were to turn to ash and everything tasted sooty and gray and devastated. and the sun burned everything, well, almost everything up - and all hope from every human’s heart was extinguished. and writers forgot words and the guitar sounded like desperate whispers… even if all of that happened, nothing could or would take the belief of sexy mexicans away from me.

never forget.

Ask me anything

I didn’t ask this question, but I love the answer. You’re such a poet, Erica!

That headline, of course, is a joke, but I’m sure some anti-vaccination advocates will see it as a conspiracy.

I am referring, of course, to news that The Lancet, a prominent…

The This American Life episode from this week is about guns, and is maybe my favorite episode from the year so far (granted, that’s only 4 episodes so far). The first story, in particular is awesome. Sarah Vowell’s story, “NRA vs. NEA” is about reconciling the culture gap between the pro-gun people and the anti-guns. If you listen to just part of the episode, check that one out. It’s the first act.

It reminds me a little bit of a column I wrote in 2006 for a Progress Indiana, a local LGBT magazine a friend of mine created. I had a regular column called “Confessions of a Metrosexual”. Below is that column.

I’ve always considered myself to be a pacifist. When I was young, I would defer arguments to the more aggressive kids, even though I knew I was right. It was easier that way—not as much conflict. Even today, I am primarily non-confrontational. I’m a lover, not a fighter.

Sunday, December 11, I did something I’ve never done before, and never thought I would do. My fearless editor Dave, fellow staff writer Tom and I trekked to the far land of Wabash, Indiana to shoot guns. Tom wanted to experience firing a gun for his story (in this issue!) and I thought it would be interesting to tag along.
