“Abbott & Costello” Ain’t Got Nothing on “Dawn & KZ”

October 8, 2010 (Fri)

This is how the conversation went, to the best of my recollection. This is probably the last time that Dawn will ask me to do her a favor. Dawn: Can you remind me to take my sewing machine home when we come back to your place tonight? Kevin: Hey Dawn, don’t forget to take your [...]

Riding the Smack Talk Express at Disneyland

September 19, 2010 (Sun)

[ Update on 9/26/10: I received one private comment from a reader who found this post offensive. I do say some pretty harsh things in this entry, and I do make a lot of gratuitous jokes about overweight people, so I'm not surprised that I received this kind of reaction. I was reluctant to publish [...]

Couplehood KZ Style

September 11, 2010 (Sat)

There are few greater sins in the tenets of romantic love than complacency. My lovely girlfriend, Diana, reminds me of this truth seemingly on a daily basis. Numerous times now during our six-year relationship, Diana has asked me to set aside my sarcasm and my obnoxious humor for one single blog post, and to proclaim [...]

December 26, 2009 (Sat)

Kevin: You never understand my Simpsons references. Diana:That’s because all of your references are stupid and obscure. Kevin: They’re not obscure, they’re subtle. You know, like the “b” in “subtle”?

I have a story for you, but there are two things you should know first. (1) I hate redundant language. I hate it when people say “tuna fish”, or “PIN number”, for example. What used to bother me most of all, though, was when people said “ATM machine”. I mean come on, really? “Automatic Teller [...]

One of Two Best Men: Josh & Sarah’s Wedding

December 22, 2008 (Mon)

During the summer of 2008, my good friends, Josh and Sarah, got married in Hawaii amongst an intimate gathering of immediate family. They renewed their vows in late December with a beautiful, romantic, slightly belated wedding reception. I was one of two Best Men to speak that night. While common wisdom would suggest that the [...]

Casanova KZ

December 3, 2008 (Wed)

For as long as we’ve been dating, Diana has complained that I hardly ever write about her in my blog. “Why don’t you write about how wonderful your girlfriend is?” she asks me periodically. “You can write pages about all of your ex-girlfriends or about how you’re pining over some girl, but you never write [...]
