This is obviously not ending anytime tonight, possibly anytime this week. I’m tired, and really pretty depressed. I heard so many good numbers for Kerry early in the evening, I really thought he was going to pull it out. I’m still praying that by some miracle, he does. But I’m certainly not holding out much ...

Marion Barry elected to the D.C. City Council. Insert “bitch set me up” joke here.

VOTE! Please, please, please vote, even if you’re not in a swing state. If only to prove the ultimate stupidity of the Electoral College, please vote. And please, if you live in a state that’s trying to write discrimination against gays into its Constitution, please, vote against that. I’d appreciate it as a personal favor.

So I got a new cell phone about six months ago, and while I immediately enjoyed the crappy camera it came with, for the most part I hadn’t explored the other features. So I was waiting for Joel to pick up his rental car (a few pictures of his visit to come) at LAX last ...

The ‘Skins lost to the Packers! If you’re wondering why I’m happy about that, read this fabulous Snopes piece, and give thanks to the Pack.

Dammit, my iPod is broken. I’m not happy about this. The hard drive keeps trying to spin up and it won’t load the OS. I can’t even get it hooked up so I can wipe the drive and start over. I’m taking it to the Apple Store tomorrow, but they’ll probably just tell me to ...

So I finally cracked and got a cat. Someone at work sent at out an email on friday saying that there was a cat looking for a home, and attached a picture of this little guy, whose name is Charlie Chaplin. So after a few days of calling landlords and filling out cat adoption papers, ...

I cannot fucking believe the Red Sox won the World Series! And in a fucking sweep?! After 86 years to make it sound so goddamn easy is ridiculous. I only heard the call on the radio (for reasons that will be explained shortly), but it was incredible. Congratulations, Boston fans! Now you have to stop ...

Apparently, I avoided this last year to a certain extent. This year, however, weather Karma has come back on the greater Los Angeles area in a big way. LA is beautiful and sunny for about 80% of the year. The remainder of the time, apparently, is Monsoon Season. I suppose as payment for living in ...

When you go out drinking on a Monday night (Hey, co-worker’s birthday! It’s excusable!), and despite the fact that you’re dead tired, three pints of Anchor Steam just makes your back stop hurting, instead of getting you shitfaced. Resolution: No more booze ’til Joel comes on Saturday. Estimated number of days resolution will actually hold ...
