If you were ever a pre-teen girl, you remember playing MASH. I do/was not but I was playing a web-based version in an attempt to win a free burrito. You basically input several options for mate, job, city, etc. and this nifty tool determines how your life will end up. […]
A while back, I talked about my newfound love for the turntable. Since then, I’ve been slowly building my record collection. I tend to stop by record stores occasionally and even thrift stores, though they can be sort of hit or miss or miss or miss. However, on a recent […]
Freedomburger!
(writer’s prerogative; I’m actually near Oxford but that doesn’t have the ring) I’m just wrapping up another exciting business trip to the UK and its 2am and I’m completely wired for no reason. My flight back is at 7:30am which necessitated me setting my alarm for 3am (awake, shower, drive, […]

Say What?
St. Valentine’s Day has come and gone and the spirit of the holiday got me thinking about one of the most romantic movies I have seen in a while, Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (and yes, I did just watch Love Actually). Even though it did not garner […]
Happy VD
Do you know what’s awesome? Birds living indoors. I’m sitting in the airport and I hear what I think is a recording of bird noises coming form a nearby potted tree. A bit later, from that same tree, swoops out and actual living bird, indoors, where HUMANS are! The little […]
The Birds!
Do you know what’s awesome? Freeze-proof drinking fountains. I just started up running again after a break and I went out on my usual municipal multi-use pathway. About halfway into my morning run I realized I was thirsty. I then realized that it was mid January. Then, I realized that […]
