SQ MINI BLOG 004 Basically, I found a blog in the woods under a log covered in iridescent mushrooms. I ate the whole log and suddenly a dot matrix printout emerged from my mouth containing a story from my memory sack (look it up). This is the fourth one: In college I worked at a Blockbuster Video movie rental place. Wow, what a difference! That was their slogan. I was the closing manager working on a Friday night with my good friend and disgusting Customer Service Representative Justin. It had been pretty steady, but business was dying down. Thank GOD, too, because we'd almost rented all 78 copies of My Best Friend's Wedding! Jkjk we had not. The door dinged "dong" as it does and a slender bleach blonde future elf walks in wearing a metallic looking puffy coat and asks if she needs an ID to get a membership card. I watched from the manager's area as Justin told her that she did need an ID, and as he did, a bright white stream of smoke slyly escaped her silver sleeve. Justin turned his head slightly to meet my eyes. She said, "okay, I'll come back" and slipped into the night. We were too stunned to reply. "What the fuck was that?" I asked.  "Did you see that?" "That smoke? Uh, yeah. What was it?" Justin shook his head. "No idea." "What did it smell like?" "Absolutely nothing." END TRANSMISSION    

If you got to make a new traffic sign, what would it be? If you were tasked with naming the new competitor to Bluetooth, what name would you pick? What Tom Cruise movie are you? SQ WEBLOG 003 Basically, I found a blog in the woods under a log covered in iridescent mushrooms. I ate the whole log and suddenly a dot matrix printout emerged from my mouth containing a story from my memory sack (look it up). This is the third one: I stood there in the park, my golden nokia phone hot in my sweaty hand. My breath trembled as I dialed Gina's number, backed out to the home screen, typed in the number, waited for a sign from god or really whomever, and hit send. She was tall and funny, and I was short and funny. We had so much in common. I mean 50% is pretty good if you think about it. I had drunk rum with her at a couple house parties and we had inside jokes. She called me Cabana Boy, and I'm not sure why. But I liked it. I'd never really just asked somebody out. I would usually just hang out and be charming until it happened or absolutely didn't. But it was time to try something new. It was time to become Cababna Man. The phone started to ring. It rang and rang. I realized I hadn't prepared a message! As I scrambled to pull something together, the ringing stopped. "...Hello?" It was her. "Hey it's Nate." I don't know what else I said, I think I was VERY direct and CHARMINGLY and UNAVOIDABLY awkward. But I know I asked her out, and she said yes. I spent the afternoon playing frisbee at the park, feeling confident about my new way of being in the world, confident, direct, unafraid. I was finally- The phone rang. "Hello?" It was Gina. "Hey Nate," she started. "I am REALLY sorry about this, but I was taking a nap when you called before. I was super confused and thought you were a different Nate I know." Damn, Gina.

If you could freeze time once a day for a regular amount of time knowing that you will continue aging in the stoppage while everyone else will not, how long would you freeze time per day? SQ BLOG 003 When she was 3, my daughter sat me down and took my hand in hers. She looked me in the eye and said calmly and with compassion, "Here's the deal - you have spiders in your bones." "What?" I asked with surprise. She rubbed my hand gently. "Don't worry, everyone does. And they won't get out." "What if I break a bone?" "Well then they'll get out. So don't do that." Well, months later a I broke my toe. And now my body is filled with spiders. I guess I should have listened to her.  

This is audio from the live show. You could watch it on YOUTUBE if you're wanting to look at us. Thanks to everyone who came and all the wonderful guests! John Roth, Riley Kowalski, Laura Sweeney, and Shiv Patel! PLUS JOLO??? SQ WEBLOG 002 Basically, I found a blog in the woods under a log covered in iridescent mushrooms. I ate the whole log and suddenly a dot matrix printout emerged from my mouth containing a story from my memory sack (look it up). This is the second one: Most days, I make Wesley over easy eggs with buttered toast, buttered toast and half a banana for Adrian, and oatmeal with peanut butter, banana, strawberry, and bloob for Viv and me. We all have our breakfast expectations, or "breakfactations." One morning recently, I was behind on dishes, huge rackful, full 'shwasher, and more on deck. But I plowed forward anyways. Toast was toasting, oats in the micro, eggs almost done. But I suddenly realized I had no clean spatula to flip the eggs with! I grabbed the pan, turned to Wes, and said, "I've never tried this before, but I've always thought I could do it." I flip these eggs out of the pan, then follow them as they float onto their face, accepting them back into the pan with a bow. We both cheered, then Wesley said, "I'm going to go tell the family." And she did. And I burned the toast just a little, but who gives a shit. Bye! Nick

This week's questions: What's your favorite blog? What's your favorite gif? What's the best all time flash animation? SQ OOPS! ALL AUTISTIC TICKETS HERE! XOXO SQ WEBLOG 001 Basically, I found a blog in the woods under a log covered in iridescent mushrooms. I ate the whole log and suddenly a dot matrix printout emerged from my mouth containing a story from my memory sack (look it up). This is the first one: It was the late 90s, and my friend group - Saur, Sarn, and Sowle - had all moved to California to pursue their Hollywood dreams. I think I stayed behind because my name just didn't quite match. Oh well. I was still in Madison going to school, but I'd go out to visit once or twice a year and spend a couple weeks crashing on their couch. One time Sarn and I were playing frisbee on the beach in Santa Monica and we noticed two girls struggling in the waves. We looked to the lifeguard who was already headed in after somebody else. He and Sarn nodded at each other knowingly. We ran into the water in slow motion like Baywatch, but it was just because we were slow. Sarn pulled one of them in while the other tried to drown me. Then he came back and saved us. I mean, I gave her something to do while she waited for him, but it was mostly him. We got to shore and as we crawled out of the ocean (like our ancestors), they said nothing to us as, much like the undertow had done, their boyfriends came and swept them away. Sarn always said that the lifeguard looked over and gave him a proud nod to acknowledge our incredible deed, but I think he was probably just making sure we were going to make it. Sarn died recently in his sleep. His heart just couldn't take this harsh place. And I'm not sure what to take from this sudden Sarn-shaped hole in spacetime, but I'm going to try to think about how we can rescue each other a little more while we're here. I bet sometimes these will be funnier. Be excellent to each other. END OF TRANSMISSION
