Ah, the historic diner

I love The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks.  I’ve even submitted to them and seen my submission posted!  Now, the “Blog” goes to my home town. On a somewhat-related greasy spoon note, this makes me miss Sal’s Pizzeria.

Kids today

MY complains about the Constitution.  Again. What bothers me about this is that, while it is indeed difficult to amend the Constitution, in the minds of most Americans this is what keeps it sound.  People understand that its ambiguous language is ambiguous for a reason – the document should be able to grow and change [...]

Tchotchke nation?

I would agree with weboy (see comments), that status-endowing “stuff” isn’t really “cheap”.  I mean, I want that 16gb flash Zen but I’m not going to pay for it.  Maybe it will be in my stocking at Christmas.  That iPhone is half my rent. What about the effect on young people that easy access to credit [...]

Kids today, Part II

Sigh. MY (whose blog I love, maybe BECAUSE he’s so darn young) blogs about housing (the market).  What he fails to take into consideration is the fact that houses are there for people to, um, live in.  Not invest in.  One of his commenters hits this nail on the head.   What we, the reader, need [...]

Books So, like, I read blogs, you know? And so like, there’s this “book meme” going around and WAH, I WANT IN. But, like, no one else reads my blog, you know? So here goes. 1. One book that’s changed your life All Quiet on the Western Front, Erich Maria Remarque. I loved it. That [...]

Who Cares!?

Who cares? I ask you! Why does everyone in the universe (well, the universe of blogs I read) care so much about Larry Summers. Harvard, after all, is not the center of the universe. (Everyone who’s anyone knows that’s Princeton, but it’s hard to explain.) Sheesh. Even the NewsHour lastnight had a whole segment about [...]

Telecommuting, my right toenail

Posted in Posts, tagged , , , , on December 30, 2005 | Comments Off

Poor Ezra. TAPPED: December 2005 Archives: “Now, not every occupation offers geographic mobility, but assumedly we’ll all be telecommuting within 10 years anyway, rendering the middle of the country significantly more inhabitable for the folks currently unable to contemplate it.” Being only a young thing, he doesn’t realize that everyone was saying this ten years [...]

The Meme of Fours

Posted in Posts, tagged , , on December 23, 2005 | Comments Off

The Washington Monthly: Via Kevin, the “MEME OF FOURS….Via Roy, here’s another silly but (as usual) oddly compelling internet list meme:” Four jobs you’ve had in your life: Salesgirl at various clothing shops, library shelver, junior conference planner, web producer/developer Four movies you could watch over and over: Enchantment, Casablanca, Now, Voyager, The Lady in [...]
