Good Grief!

Before waxing poetic about the wonders of the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, I’d like to get something off my chest.
Rain every day? Not ideal, but the park is beautiful in any weather. Terrible food? No problem—I brought along some soy nuts and Kashi Go-Lean Protein Bars. Loud motherfuckers in […]

Well, scratch one item off of the lifetime “places to see” list. Despite the cold, the rain, and the bears, visiting Glacier National Park was a fantastic experience.

I’m in Montana, and Good Grief! is in re-runs. This is my favorite arts pick because the comments are hysterical. Read the comments!

Is this what they mean by shabby chic? Actually, it’s a jail cell–Al Capone stayed here during his eight month stint at Philadelphia’s Eastern State Penitentiary. The furniture is not original (he took it with him), but it depicts Capone’s posh digs. He also bought instruments for the prison band and uniforms […]

This week’s mix features covers. Some are better than the originals, and some are just weird. There’s a healthy dose of twang in the middle of the playlist. How I love twang.

Airline.
Count of available, clean underwear.
Is it sweater weather in Montana?
Why is vacation during the week of the Franz Ferdinand/Futureheads show, the Old 97’s show, the Drive-By Truckers show, […]

He foiled my plan to volunteer him as a model for the organization’s annual charity fashion show. It was a valiant attempt, nonetheless–especially the part where I remembered the delegate permissions on his e-mail account.

I had to find out from Scott that Viggo Mortensen was in Philly and didn’t even call.
I wonder if Viggo is a Pat’s man or a Geno’s man?
UPDATE!
Both Geno’s and Pat’s post celebrity photos (here and here, respectively). Viggo Mortensen doesn’t appear on either site.
UPDATE 2: Couldn’t take the scrolling text anymore. […]
