What's on my mind today?
Yesterday evening, I stumbled upon this article about the start of the 2012 baseball season. The title of the piece is “Baseball’s Opening Day: Would you let your kid root for the Mets?” Now obviously, it’s a little bit late for Eli, since at the age of 2 and 1/4 (almost), he is a die-hard [...]
Hey, remember when I wrote about seeing Weird Al in concert? I said that I only wished that the parody king had done some new fake interviews, where he splices himself into celebrity interviews to hilarious effect. Well, apparently The Weird One has heard my plea, as he has a new show on [...]
With the Mega Millions jackpot now up to a staggering $540 million dollars, I have finally decided to win the lottery. Other jackpots, while mildly tempting, didn’t really interest me, I must confess. But this total surely does.
I mean, how hard can it really be to win this thing? After all, I only want to [...]
The Bully vs the MPAA story has already gotten a ton of press, but for those of you who don’t know, here’s the story in a nutshell: A new documentary about bullying was slapped with an R rating because of multiple uses of the f-word.
This is beyond preposterous. This arbitrary ruling takes a movie that [...]
The Hunger Games movie finally came out! YAY!
OK, fine, I really never got on The Hunger Games bandwagon, despite multiple people – Courtney included – telling me I’d love the books. I have nothing against young adult books in general, or ones that have been turned into Hollywood mega-franchises specifically. Maybe one of these days [...]
It is no secret: I am not handy. When something has to be built/assembled/fixed/repaired around the house, I shudder with fear. Sure, I’ve gotten better at doing little things over the past few years since we’ve moved in, but I still dread any new project that comes along.
With that in mind, just try to imagine [...]
I’m going to take a cue from Brett’s blog and take this Monday’s post to talk about The Walking Dead.
Fair warning – spoilers for last night’s season finale – and the season at large – will be discussed.
The Walking Dead showed real moments of brilliance in its first season, but things started moving very slowly [...]
Ever get one of these? Twenty-three years before the Mint started rolling out quarters for all 50 states, they ran special quarters to commemorate the country’s bicentennial. Why a revolutionary-era drummer was their image of choice is beyond me, but regardless, the coins were introduced into the currency stream.
And for some reason that [...]
Major League Baseball is changing!
For starters, there will be a new one game wild-card knockout playoff between the two non-division winning teams with the best records. On the surface, this seems like a great idea; no longer can teams coast into the playoffs without caring if they win their division or get in through the [...]
It’s the latest viral video making the rounds on the interwebs, it’s a really funny ad, and as a funny coincidence, I was a Page with the guy in it way back when.
It’s a commercial for DollarShaveClub.com, starring the company’s CEO, Mike Dubin. It’s a damn good idea for a company, too. Razors [...]
