Woohoo!

Grabbed tickets to see REM, Modest Mouse, and the National in concert next weekend. It may be my only concert of the summer but it seems like it should be a good one. Plus, I love the venue because it’s an amphitheater on the freakin’ Atlantic and what could be more enjoyable than that on [...]

I’m quitting.

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (CNN) — In the face of criticism from a slate of economists who say her gas tax holiday plan would be ineffective or even harmful, Hillary Clinton said she wasn’t taking stock of their opinions and emphasized that this was a short-term fix that would primarily benefit long-distance drivers.

The Economics of Idiocy

It used to be that if you wanted a soda on campus you needed to have cash on hand. If you found yourself cashless, you’d have to find an ATM and pay a transaction fee that would double the price of your soda or go to the campus convenience store.
Those days are over. Now, 90% [...]

Idle Thoughts

The other night was my friend Alex’s birthday so we went out to eat. Jon+5 girls = we’re watching American Idol (alex’s favorite show) afterward.

But that’s the thing. I love Nintendo’s franchises.
I love Zelda. But it has sucked lately. They hit their pinnacle with Ocarina and it seems like every Zelda title since then has been trying to touch it’s greatness, with the possible exception of Wind Waker, but it’s basically same game play.
Metroid Prime wowed [...]

Losing Faith or Growing Up?

I has have a Wii.   I don’t play it.
It’s not that I don’t want to play it.  Everyday I see it sitting there, it’s orange light calmly staring back at me letting me know how hard it’s working to keep up to date with the news and weather and just waiting to receive a message [...]

Freakin Wankers: Public bathrooms

I was driving on the expressway to work last week and a cab driver pulls over on the other side of the road, gets off  and starts to pee. I was like wtf.  Today on my way to get a pedicure this guy goes by the trashcan and does the same thing. It wasn’t cute [...]

Disturbances.

What is it about the human condition that incites voyeurism? We all have a piece of us who just has to know what’s going on, especially if someone could be hurt. Usually, it’s not because we want to help but only to see what kind of damage was wreaked.
They say voyeurs are the worst types [...]

Who Has the Time?

Due to the previous writer’s strike we had to resort to watching a lot of Food Network. We don’t like reality shows so we had to go the next best option. The line up consisted of Good Eats, Boy Meets Grill, Tyler’s Ultimate, Unwrapped, Guy’s Big Bite and then Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. It [...]

Of Midnight Launches and Running Noses

If you pay any attention at all to video games and their systems, you’ll notice that finding a Wii or, at least after the holidays, a DS is just this side of impossible. However, thanks to the launch of a new color, Nintendo decided to finally get off their duffs and release some product [...]
