Do You Sort Skittles? I Do.

Today’s been an odd one.  I woke from a dream which was vivid, pleasant, and bizarre all at the same time.  Nevertheless, slightly deflated at the prospect that it was only Wednesday.  (This week seems somehow interminable!)  But, on the way to work that feeling faded and suddenly I felt, like Tony, that “something’s coming.”  [...]

What’s your neighbor renting?

*cross-posted from dc.metblogs.com
Have you ever wondered what those noises coming from under the door of your neighbor down the hall really were?  Was he watching a Rob Zombie film, or trying to create a real zombie?  Well, the New York Times has created this awesome and engrossing interactive map of Netflix’ most rented films of [...]

Thought of the day

I read this article and it was interesting and all, but you really only have to read the first paragraph.  If there really are stories about how “cheapness is a new status symbol,” then obviously the consumer culture hasn’t gone anywhere.

Off to Lansdowne Resort for the big Saturday session of CFUnited.  Whee!  (Actually, [...]

Happy Birthday, Mr. President

When I was developing my skills as a mimic, I used this clip extensively to help me learn how to change my voice. (Also helpful when deliberately ridding myself of NY accent.)

Better Than Love, Babe

This Undead Flow Chart is excellent. I will note, however, that I’m pretty sure its creator meant “Serial Killers” when s/he wrote, “Jason, Michael, Freddy.”  Cereal Killers is, however, an excellent album.

ITTET: Quotas Up?

I traveled to NYS for the big High School Reunion (definitely not a Musical) last weekend.  Bonfires, beers, and babies!  My classmates waited to have kids…the average age of children at the family picnic couldn’t have been more than 4 years.
