Day 2 - Say Cheese

I slept till noon for the first time since, well the weekend before I guess. But I slept till noon without a hangover for the first time in, well, a long time. From there I went out to lunch, skipping breakfast as I so often do, at Simon Pearce, a swanky restaurant/glass blowing […]

Day 1 - Release the Greyhounds

For a weeklong vacation, I sure didn’t get to sleep in that much. Wednesday morning I was up at my usual time, 7:30 AM, to catch a 9:30 bus. Unfortunately, Barnes and Noble doesn’t cater to the early morning commuter, and wasn’t open when I passed by. I would have to buy […]

A Peculiar Thing…

Yo, check this! If not for the fact that there are only 4 strips, I’d proclaim this the new Strongbad. Okay, that’s a little presumptuous, but it’s got definite genius, in that random, obscure sort of way. And isn’t that the best way, after all? Tell me an adorable pink balloon […]

I regret I Have but 6 Gmail Invites to Promote My Blog

In my latest attempt to shamlessly promote this “site” I have offered my surplus of gmail invites for pity comments. I got the idea from this guy, so if I run out he might have some.

O Bluetooth, Where Art Thou?

Remember that dongle I mentioned a while back? Well I bought one. But nows I needs a wireless keyboard and mouse. But the mouse I want, the Logitech Trackman Wheel, only exists on corded and cordless versions. The Bluetooth mice that Logitech offers are all standard mice that need a flat […]

Let it Be Known…

I have started a new trend: tucking in the front of your shirt, but not the back. You heard it here first. So when you start seeing Ashton Kutscher, or some other jerk besides me wearing their shirts like this, know where it started.

Win a Date with Larry Koestler!

Do you wish college never ended? Of course you do. Do you miss it
more than Larry? I highly doubt it. If you think you do, I’d love to
hear it. On a 3×5 index card write down your plea to return to the
land of sleeping late and boozing in incredible excess, and […]

Father Knows Best

This morning I encountered a touching scene: a father, taking his young son to school, was teaching him to read AM New York. Normally I keep to myself on the morning commute, but I had to say something.

Me:
“That’s really cool what you’re doing there.”
Dad:
“Yeah, it’s a great paper. The sentences are really short, […]

Dew the Deed

ATLANTA, GA - Coca-cola executives announced today that Mountain Dew has been approved by the FDA as a viable contraceptive. Yellow Dye 5, an intrinsic ingredient, which gives Mountain Dew its ghostly glow, is also well known for decreasing virility. “You can now safely ‘dew the do’ and ‘do the deed’ without getting […]

There’s Scum-thing in the Air

I saw this picture and immediately thought of those pictures that looks like something else entirely when you flip it over. It looks like the pond scum is actually green clouds. Turn it over and you’ll see just an ordinary, brackish pond. I found an example of what I mean here. […]
