Where’s Bruce?
The Jackie Chan/Jet Li film “The Forbidden Kingdom” opens today and I must say, it’s about time. Getting these two guys together should have happened years ago, before the “Rush Hour” series turned Chan into a dumb joke instead of the campy fun goofball he was before.

Getting a job
Today I am in Rapid City, South Dakota trying to impress people enough to hire me. The last month has been the most nerve-wracking experience of my life. Getting a job is hard and stressful. If you’re graduating and you haven’t started looking yet, might I suggest you get on it? No matter what you’ve heard, moving home with your parents after graduation really isn’t cool.

Driving and drinking
I was driving down the one-way on Jackson today when I saw an intriguing sign: “You honk, we drink.” Someone behind me started honking and faster than a blinking eye, the cans of some cheap beer were at their lips. I was so excited that I turned around and went back down the street so I could honk. Way to make use of the sunshine guys.

Jonesin’ for cookies
Where oh where have all the Girl Scout Cookies gone?
Like the weekend’s amazing weather, my favorite Girl Scout Cookies, Samoas, came and went. I only bought a box, and now I’m wishing I would have gone Y2K crazy and bought like 20 boxes of Samoas. Oh yeah — like those people who store Girl Scout Cookies in their freezer for months. If anyone knows where I can buy more cookies, please let me know.

Senior
There are lots of great things about being a senior. Your class load gets smaller, you appreciate school a hell of a lot more and because you are leaving, people seem to appreciate you. The only thing that I would change: I’ve got a hell of a case of senioritis.

Black (and gray) dog
I miss my pups. Grizz is the only man in my life that’s ever truly loved me. We actually have similar interests. We both enjoy any combination of beef, cheese and bacon. We’re both terrified of thunderstorms. Long drives with the windows down? We’re for ‘em. Why does such a beautiful thing like the college experience become so tainted because landlords suck and don’t allow dogs? Sigh.

Hippie-chondriac
Hello, my name is Roger, and I am a hippie-chondriac. Despite the fact that I wear Chacos and Burks, and I once lived in a VW van for a couple months, I fear becoming a hippie. I fear patchouli oil, the dark leathery skin, Kombucha, vegan diets, and Red Stripe. The reason that I fear it? Perhaps it’s because I would be such a good hippie. I have to learn to walk the line, the line between small-town Idaho boy and free-thinking hippie … sandals and all.

Done with the weather
This is my first year living in Idaho and this weather is going to drive me to drugs. The snow, rain and sun of the last few months is like an emotional rollercoaster. I see a hailstone and I want to hit someone, while every sunbeam has me ready to dance. It’s not fair that a person’s emotions can be so affected by the weather. But I take comfort in the fact that I’ve figured it out. Mother nature is on her period. Therefore I’ll just hide my room till she takes a Midol.
