This weekend I discovered that vintage Nike Air shoes and re-issues of such are the new comic books. Just in case you wanted to know. Also, the NYTimes website is insanely annoying - If you try to double click to select a word or line of text it treats it like your selecting the text as a link and points you to an ad or dictionary definition or whatever. NYTimes, get your head out of your respective asses.
Peepshow is the funniest sitcom I have seen in a long while. I rented the first season on Netflix and I can’t remember laughing so hard at my tv, well, since Grandma’s Boy (y’all know what im talking about). I may be under the influence of just having watched the first three episodes, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say its better than The Office (bbc). I’ll probably regret saying that.
It’s basically the Odd Couple first-person perspective with all the awkward scenesscenes of awkwardness of ala The Office. The two characters play off one another’s trainwrecks perfectly while they navigate or don’t navigate late-20s, early-30s single life. The extreme neurotic nature of it all appeals highly to the duty I feel toward my own highly development neurosis. Yes, I’m biased.
Has everyone else watched this already? I have a nagging feeling I just showed up to the party late.
Have to link it. Its Paula Abdul wasted on local television. Fox knows how to keep it fair and tipsy.
I get my toilet paper delivered 2nd day in bulk. I’ve got to get to work using it now.
I’m writing from deep within Seattle’s worst wind storm in millions of years. Cats and even dogs are flying past my window. Homeless people are hanging onto road signs. Trees and large construction cranes are falling all over the place. Oh crap! It’s not even funny. Really, it’s really not funny. I lied, the storm hasn’t started yet. Sorry, that wasn’t funny. Really really not funny.
I love the weather. I’m sick, too. I’ve been christmas shopping, online only. Lots of stores have lists for “The Person Who Has Everything.” This isn’t helpful for anyone. A list for “The Person Who Thinks They Have Everything, and Doesn’t Like Much At All” would be much more useful.
As I left my apartment this morning, I overheard the tail end of a conversation between a grey-bearded, old fellow in sweatpants and a weathered middle-aged woman.
Her: “… dirty old man?”
Him (indignantly): No! it’s sexy senior citizen.

Seattle Drivers, when it rains, could you stop spinning your tires all the way up the hill outside my apartment? Here’s a tip, when your tires start spinning and you lose momentum, it’s a good idea to ease off the gas pedal and wait for your tires to re-engage the pavement. Either that, or buy some new tires. Thanks, you’re annoying me. Don’t forget to vote.
Work has kept me pretty tied up for the last week. Whatever “downtime” I’ve had at home has mostly been taken up with trying to complete a project by Today, coincidentally Halloween. It’s mostly finished, so what other to do than celebrate by carving a pumpkin. Celebrate! No dressing up this year, but I could easily turn into a drunk at the stroke of midnight.
No time to lose, I carved this baby in under 20 minutes! Live in fear of my deft knife skillz. boo!
I just noticed that when you click on the ‘your store’ tab on Amazon it takes you to a recommendations page that has a tag cloud of different product categories. My biggest tag was ‘Alternative Dance’. I’m so excited, I’m so ashamed!
