So, I took a couple pictures today with my phone’s spectacular CrapCam, and thought I’d ask an opinon on one and share a couple others. Question: Who’s right about my dad’s shirt? Now, this shirt is much, much brighter than this photo would lead you to believe. It is also Ralph Lauren. My dad thinks ...

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! Enjoy your Annual Festival of Turkey and/or Guilt (But At Least There’s Pie) at the homes of your assorted relatives and/or friends. If you need me, I’ll be at my stepbrother’s, getting away from the screaming kiddies by taking his dogs for a walk. To Florida.

Bringing my cellphone charger with me on a six day trip. That really would have been a useful thing to do. DAMMIT. Edit, Wed.: Hooray! My stepsister has a Samsung phone too, so I can charge my phone with her charger. Yay for ubiquitous electronics corporations.

I had probably the most irritating flight I’ve ever flown on getting to Atlanta tonight. It was ridiculously late, we had to hold for a long time, and there was enough turbulence to make it feel like I was flying in a giant maraca. Then, there was the co-pilot. “Captain Brad and Captain Jody” were ...

I’ll be in Atlanta the next few days (assuming my flight ever leaves today…It’s already showing 2 hours late on AssTran’s website) for Thanksgiving. I’ll be fending off all sorts of fun small loud children, so I’ll likely be retreating to my computer more than once over the next six days. Feel free to call ...

There were a couple of more unusual ones, like the “Bush 2004/Condi 2008” ...

1. That you should wash your car more often: One cheap-o wash gets your car so much cleaner that it actually appears that the paint is now three shades darker. 2. That you need to start actually reading your magazine subscriptions: A two-parter! a) Your stack of unread magazines is over a foot tall and ...

Put me in this nursing home. I’ll be able to die happy, even if I can’t eat solid food.

Or, as Mark pointed out in the comments, all of ABC’s regional scheduling folk who kept the NU-Ohio State game off broadcast television in the West. Instead, I ended up going with Nate to a bar near his house that had the game on. I should have slept in. D’oh.

I hate my local ABC affiliate. Instead of running the NU-Ohio State game at 9am, they’re running assorded kiddie programs (That’s So Raven, Kim Possible, Eyewitness News at Noon, etc.). The only two games being shown out here are the USC and UCLA games, which don’t start until 12:30 and 4, respectively. So instead of ...
