Hooray For Anything

Saw "Hot Tub Hot Machine" over the weekend and first of all, it was awesome. Second of all, the movie was kind of weird in that it's being marketed as a raunchy, hip, adult comedy aimed primarily at people in their late teens or twenties. But the thing is it's mainly concerned with Gen X'ers and i

Somebody in our neighborhood drives a Smart Car and this weekend, the person who drove it used it to shimmy in behind another car in a spot it was maybe a wee too small for. The car isn't blocking a drive way but it's maybe a little in. Now, that might be fine if it's a normal car, like mine, but

Of the many reasons why being President would suck, one of them would have to be the fact that they're always working. It's not like they can "call in sick" and stay home to go skiing or catch up on Lost DVDs or they can't just decide that they're not into it and spend all day playing Tetris. Hell

1)Had an interview with somebody who didn't describe the job responsibilities in typical third person ("we want this person to be able to do this and we want this person to be like that...") but in second person.

Last night I saw that NBC was gracious enough to show an award ceremony of somebody who was not in fact American. He was, in fact, Norwegian. Lest think NBC would show this due to some sense that we're all part of a larger world, one that does not revolve around the USA, the silver & bronze medal

Being President is an extremely tough job but one of the reasons for it is the fact that pretty much the moment they get sworn on, they are the Man in Charge and have shit to do even if their email systems might not be up. From there on, they have their standard "100 Days" thing in which they propo

I'm trying to do something really crazy in Hotmail which is to set up a contact list of email addresses, mainly made up of people who aren't my contacts but with whom I need to correspond with. Because they keep on making Hotmail infinitely more complicated, thus suckier, I've had to click on the b

Somebody in this household bought this week's US Magazine and on it's cover is a picture of the Kardashian girls juxtaposed with pictures of the Kardashian girls as awkward teens with the headline reading "Look at them Wow!" The story discusses the usual blather about how awesome their lives were a

-As I never watched Conan or thought from what I saw that he was that particularly funny, I was sort of a passive observer through all this Late Night nonsense. In fact, I'm one of the few people who doesn't think Leno is Satan on earth and isn't to blame for all this (everyone's like "well why can
