I'd love to change the world, but I don't know what to do...Gina went into the Peace Corps. It was more than 20 years after it stopped being fashionable to go into the Peace Corps. But she went. Right after High School.She was a dreamer, a hippie chick in the time of Reagan. She told people she was born at Woodstock, but that was a lie. Still, she loved the protest music of the late 60s and wouldn't listen to anything else.

Food Coma Thoughts
From Turkey Bowling to Bowling For SoupFive years ago, I told everyone I talked to that Bowling For Soup was "your new favorite band." I meant it, but no one believed me."Think Fountains of Wayne with more punk, more booze, and more sloppy sophomoric jokes," I'd say. "But in a good way." Yeah, it didn't work for them either. Anyway. Let's talk Thanksgiving.I didn't overeat.On a holiday entirely geared towards excess, I managed not to stuff myself.Yet, everywhere everyone seems stuck in a food coma. Or shuffling zombie-like off to go shopping.

Mix Tape for the MP3 Era (On TV)Mix tapes are so 1980s and mix CDs just aren't as cool.But if you could make an MP3 mix that looked like a cassette tape, that would be cool, right?Two years ago, the Mixa came out -- $40 bucks for a USB flash drive that looked like a cassette tape. (Plus, it can hold as much music as 50 or 60 mix tapes and won't sound crappy if you leave it in your car for a few months -- yeah, Stop Making Sense, I'm talking about you.)

Fooling with the Logarithms, Going Berserk

She was tough and sexy and careless.I don't know how it started or why. She called me one night and told me she was getting high and blowing the smoke out her window. (To this day, I'm not sure why she told me that.)I told her I was listening to the radio and reading Dostoyevsky. (I told her that because it was true.)The outlines are blurred now, but some details are clearer than ever. During the first snowfall of the year, in front of the candy store wh
