What's on my mind today?
In the spirit of the Holiday season, I am posing a question to my faithful readers: What was the greatest gift you ever received?
For our purposes, let’s just rule out gifts like “being with family” and other mushy stuff like that. I’m talking about actual presents that were given to you and brought you [...]
Every December, a ton of “Best of the Year” lists pop up everywhere, and they can get old pretty quick, but I’m digging the “Best of the Decade” lists that I’ve been seeing lately. So I figured I’d jump on that particular bandwagon, and so I now present my list of some of [...]
It finally happened! We had attic stairs installed! A professional contractor came, and did an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay!
(If you are confused about why I am so excited by this seemingly trivial development, please read this and all will be painfully clear.)
Now we can actually get to our attic! [...]
This is the best post of the year, and the first under alannoah.com version 2.9.
So, um, I saw Avatar last night. Me like 3-D. Even the previews were in 3-D.
And have you ever had this Buncha-Crunch stuff? It’s ridiculously awesome!
On December 17, 1989, the face of television changed forever, as the first episode of The Simpsons aired. It was a half-hour episode featuring a crudely animated family struggling to make their Christmas memorable. Few people would have imagined then that in two decades time, the show would still be profitable.
I won’t pontificate [...]
As I have mentioned before, I was a huge fan of The State when it was on MTV in the 90’s. I thought the show was brilliant and hysterical, and I have quoted lines from various skits throughout the years. As the 10 men and 1 woman in the group had moved on [...]
Warning – MAJOR SPOILER ALERT on the potentially upcoming Ghostbusters movie!
Still here? OK, so Sigourney Weaves has been doing press for Avatar, and the folks from the UK’s Channel 4 asked her about a Ghostbusters sequel. Here’s the video:
Whoa, right? That’s quite a bombshell at the end – Bill Murray will be [...]
It was a fun, long weekend, full of Hanukkah cheer! On Friday night, we went to the Neuman’s place in Brooklyn for latkes and goodies, and we ended up staying out way past our bedtime. Then Saturday was full of painting Baby’s room and getting the house ready for the 2nd Annual Noah [...]
So, there is no way for me to write this post and NOT be accused of being a pompous jerk, but whatever, here it goes anyway.
Every now and again, someone will refer to a non Ivy League school as an Ivy League institution. They don’t mean anything malicious about it, they just have their [...]
Sorry, James, for reposting something that was just on your site, but I have to reach the half-dozen people who read my blog and not yours.
This is from a Rock Band session during Nick’s Marathon 2009, and I think the video speaks for itself.
I would like to point out that my falsetto got us consistently [...]
