First, a nice little throwaway item. If you want to buy some way cool stuff, use this link. Visits to the sets of popular shows, memorabilia, and tickets to many talk shows including John Stewart. Some of the stuff with a day to go is remarkably reasonable. Other items like House’s cane, not so reasonable. […]
If you’re not watching Skins on BBC America (Thursdays 9pm) you’re missing one of the best shows BBC has turned out. My original review is in this blog post. This is just really good. I was worried because for series three (now in progress) they replaced the entire cast and went with new kids. The […]
I meant to post this earlier. It was sent to me by Dave. I’ve made several posts criticizing Obama’s poorly thought out monstrosity of health-care “reform” as he calls it. This is a rebuttal. I’m presenting it to be fair, however I maintain my original position that while we need reform, this isn’t it. I […]
First, I must thank Jose for telling me he saw a trailer for the legendary novel Youth In Revolt which is a journal by one Nick Twisp. This is awesome news potentially. It stars Michael Cera (of Arrested Development fame) which is nice because he’s a good actor, but I don’t feel he looks the […]
I’d like to ridicule the Florida Panthers first. They have a Facebook account and their crack team of people typed “If your one of the winners – email us with your contact details and ….” Your? Indeed. I’m sure they meant you’re (you are) but apparently, they don’t hire educated interns to run things. They […]
Let’s start with an interesting encounter. Friday I had day-early Birthday Dinner with Dad, my sister and her boyfriend at our usual restaurant. We sat down and we were two tables away from Donna Shalala (linked if you don’t know who she is). Dad always likes to be a big shot and we know all […]
Sleepless, painful, hot, cold, anxiety, heart racing, panic. Just too much. However, it prompted me to act this morning. I’m not better by any means, but there’s some progress made. I haven’t worked a full day in two weeks — missing mornings or evenings or mid-days for doctor appointments and such. This just isn’t good. […]
Every time something good happens, something bad happens. Maybe it’s nature’s way of keeping balance. Today was one of those days. Felt good (congrats to D on his excellent health report today) and then bad later in the day. I’d give you more health news but except for the inside of my lip (I hate […]
To start off, I am so glad Jace and Grant came to visit. It’s just been too long since I’ve seen them. It was when the last Harry Potter movie came out. Really unacceptable. We all accepted the blame for this, and we have mutually resolved to not let it happen again. I felt bad […]
I was an Obama supporter, and mostly I still am. In my earlier post, I meant to share this article because it’s how I feel as a business owner. I want to thank Paul who sent it over. Of course, I also realize to hire good people you have to offer competitive benefits, so this […]
