February 27, 2004 on 4:24 am | In Funny Internet Things, Good Stories, Lauren

Earlier this week, I took my trusty 2002 Honda Civic LX (whom I’ve nicknamed “2002 Honda Civic El Ecksy”) in for its 10,000 mile checkup. The results were good: 10,000 miles is still 1,609,344,000 centimeters.

The car was dropped off Monday night. Tuesday after work, I wanted to reclaim my wheels. Lauren cell-phoned on her way home from work and suggested I meet her at the car place.

Which I tentatively agreed to, before calling back moments later to point out that Charlie isn’t really big enough for me to ride him all the way to the car place.

It’s been an especially busy/hectic week at work, Adam Shain, which partially explains my infrequent blogging, about which you have emailed me a complaint. But you don’t have a blog, so I can become, say, a highly ranked Google result for Adam Shain Is A Monkey if I so desire, just by stressing the fact that indeed, Adam Shain Is A Monkey… While you, dear Adam Shain (who is a monkey) can do little but post a piddling comment on this blog. So there, Adam Shain, you monkey.

    And I Feel Fine

    February 23, 2004 on 8:37 pm | In News

    It’s always comforting when serious articles foretelling the inevitable and immediately forthcoming destruction of the modern world specifically mention Southern California.

    Loss Vegas

    February 18, 2004 on 1:31 am | In Life Updates

    I wasn’t able to shake things up in Vegas as much as I had hoped. We won about $342,309, but then I donated it all to charity, so I ended up pretty much breaking even.

    We saw Lance Burton and Second City while in Sin-cinatti, as Vegas is never called, but should be. Lance’s magic was good, but his personality was not. In a self-contained clockless world of jingling slot machines and dinging slot machines and clanging slot machines, and also other noise-making objects, your Vegas performer needs to speak in something a bit more showy than a monotone whisper. A quick search proves it wasn’t an off-night — Lance is just an excellent magician, but a subpar performer. Of course, he’s got the theater named after him and the massive paychecks, so maybe he knows something I don’t.

    Now that I’m back from Vegas, blogging can continue. But right now I’m too tired.

    I like this article about leaked Microsoft source code because of all the details provided.

    UPDATE: Boy do I look stupid. When I first linked to this article, it was literally two sentences long. Now they’ve gone and FIXED the damn thing like a friggin’ HOUSE PET.

    Commies.

    I almost forgot the annual tradition of using this space to acknowledge perhaps my most faithful reader… so…

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD!!

    Reality Bites

    February 10, 2004 on 5:10 am | In Television

    Fox is hyping a new reality soap-opera that will debut this year. You have to be willing to live in their resort (with your spouse or girlfriend) for an indeterminate amount of time, expected to last months or even years. You may leave with no money at all for the months/years+ you spent there.

    What kind of people do this? Extremely wealthy and/or stupid ones?

    Poodle Praise

    Congrats to Weird Al on winning the Grammy for Best Comedy Album. You’ll recall I heaped praise on the album when it was released.

    February 8, 2004 on 6:42 pm | In Music, News, Things of Amusement to Me

    “Last time I talked to her about it, [Janet Jackson] was up in the air about [whether she would attend the Grammy's],” Jam told CNN. “She was literally sitting on the fence about whether she was going to come or not, or whether she was going to sit back and watch it on TV.” [CNN]

    Remember before, when literally meant literally? Today, it tends to mean “not literally.”

    I think that is awesome.

    (Note: By “awesome,” I mean, “not awesome.”)
