We’re closing shop

Posted by logan on January 5th, 2009

While we both enjoy blogging, our contributions have become more and more sparse because of lack of time for updates. We’ll be taking down LoganAndLiz.Com in the near future.

Poop breafs

Posted by logan on December 8th, 2008

There’s nothing quite like waking up next to the one that you love. Whether I’m awake first, or wake up to catch Liz staring back at me, it’s great to start your day together. We have our little morning rituals, of course. One of which revolves around what we’ve coined “poop breafs.”
Now, you may not […]

Yes we can

Posted by logan on November 5th, 2008

“If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and […]

Commuter training

Posted by logan on October 27th, 2008

I briefly mentioned in our last post that we moved on October 4th. We’ve given up the luxurious city life for Chicago’s suburbs, complete with parking spaces, fine dining establishments like Chili’s and a Macy’s grouped by type of clothes (i.e. men’s jeans) vs. by designer collections. And we couldn’t be happier.
One of the […]

Politically correct

Politics and elections are both ugly in general. It’s a bunch of “he says, she says” crap. Instead of really delivering their plans and solutions for the problems that exist, it seems like it always turns into a contest to see who can smear their opponent more. I’d have to say that if […]

Liz is a Pot head

Posted by logan on September 3rd, 2008

Neti Pot, that is.
It’s right smack in the middle of allergy season and–despite being on every allergy medicine known to man combined with her surgery earlier this year–Liz is suffering from her normal seasonal allergies as we transition from summer to fall back to summer here in Chicago. After a few days and a few […]

Twist and shout

Posted by logan on August 5th, 2008

What follows below was by far the greatest conversation overheard on the scanner during last night’s tornado warning. (We’re fine, by the way)
Dispatcher:  We’ve got a report of a disturbance at Clinton and Adams. A homeless man is running down the street–shirtless–drinking heavily, and shouting, “The world is ending, the world is coming to an […]

The five and dime

Posted by logan on July 16th, 2008

I do not like shaving. I feel like it takes a very long time, and it’s pretty pointless. The day after, you can barely tell that I even took the trouble to do so. And by the second day I’m forced to repeat the entire process. Unless day two happens to roll around on a […]

I am white

Posted by logan on July 9th, 2008

One of my favorite blogs on the Internet is Stuff White People Like. A witty collection of entries centered around the pretentious possessions and personal beliefs that make us positively Caucasian. And I never really stopped to think about how white I truly am, until I assessed my surroundings tonight. Let’s take a look.
For Father’s […]

Smog alert

Posted by logan on July 3rd, 2008

Ah, summertime. Time for grilling out, baseball, and–for those in the academic world–summer vacation. But with the good comes the bad. Sunburn. Extreme heat. And smog. Which brings about one of my favorite stories from childhood.
When my brothers and I were old enough to stay home without the supervision of a babysitter, I was sort […]
