What's on my mind today?
It’s just like that old “You Might Be a Redneck” bit by Jeff Foxworthy – and at least twice as funny! (The former Mathletes among you will remember that anything times zero is still zero.)
You see under-dressed kids walking around in the cold, and you think to yourself, “Man, those kids really should put [...]
I hate being one of those guys who constantly gripes about his commute…
BUT…
This is just getting ridiculous lately. I’m writing this post as I stand freezing on the train platform, waiting for my train which will be 8 minutes late.
No, 11 minutes.
Now they’re saying upwards of 15-20 minutes.
What does that mean? 25 minutes would [...]
People get way too bent out of shape over things. (Unlike me, who is always levelheaded, and never goes off the rails over inconsequential things.)
But the recent overreactions about the 3DS, the new Facebook layout, and the whole Netflix/Qwikster thing seem to have gone too far.
Let’s start with Nintendo. Now granted, the 3DS has [...]
For me, the end of summer has nothing to do with the autumnal equinox or Labor Day. It doesn’t necessarily correlate with falling leaves or the first day of school. The summer is over for me the second I put on pants.
Don’t get me wrong – there is a lot to love about the summer, [...]
From dictionary.com:
Unsolicited – un·so·lic·it·ed [uhn-suh-lis-i-tid] adjective
given or supplied without being requested or asked for
Unsolicited advice. When you didn’t ask for someone’s opinion, but they decide to give it to you anyway. Everyone hates getting it, yet everyone also ironically loves to give it.
I suppose there are various times in your life when you [...]
LIRR train conductors and ticket takers who are so in love with the sound of their own voices that they just can’t stop announcing which cars won’t make the platform at Cold Spring Harbor.
People who change direction while walking down the street without any thought of how their sudden drastic movements will affect other pedestrians.
Guys [...]
My favorite, default, go-to radio station is Q104.3 – New York’s Classic Rock station. I mean, honestly, who has the time or the patience for NEW music, right?
Well, usually Eli and I listen to the Q while we drive to day care in the morning, and there’s something that has been standing out to [...]
And now, for an alannoah.com analysis of Brian McKnight’s song ‘Back at One.’ If you need a refresher in this song, watch the video:
Let’s review the chorus, which includes the five “steps” outlined in the song:
One, you’re like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it’s plain to see
That you’re the [...]
Remember when I wrote about how a Buffy movie might happen without Joss Whedon? Well, it’s offically happening.
Sigh.
So what does Joss himself think about it? You can and should read his thoughts here, but his point is essentially that it seems strange to remake something when the original is still so fresh in people’s minds.
And [...]
After Election Day, the never-ending cheesy, offensive, and in terribly bad taste ads go away.
After Election Day, the signs that clutter lawns and every square inch of green grass get taken down.
After Election Day, the amount of pie charts and bar graphs on the news declines exponentially.
After Election Day, you don’t have to be reminded [...]
