Dude, Where Are Your Feathers?
Monday, June 30, 2008 at 08:51amYesterday, the geekboy spotted a weird-looking bird in the yard. He had a red body but a grey head. I took a bunch of photos, trying to figure out what kind of bird it was. I looked in my books, online, couldn’t find anything. Then I looked at the photos more closely. And realized the bird was just a regular cardinal. Who had NO FEATHERS on his HEAD. Read the rest of this entry »
Weekend Wrapup
Monday, June 30, 2008 at 08:37amHow was your weekend? Another packed one for us. I’ve had too many late nights in the past week or so, actually, and it’s starting to catch up with me. I’ve come down with some sort of summer cold. My throat and lungs are raw and every muscle in my body is aching. Unhappy. Read the rest of this entry »

New “How Stuff Works” Article
Friday, June 27, 2008 at 10:35amMy latest article is up over at How Stuff Works — How Wetlands Work. In one article, I managed to mention the Jersey Devil, Swamp Thing, Phish and “the swamps of New Jersey” (holla, Springsteen!).
Mind Your Own F*cking Business. Seriously.
Friday, June 27, 2008 at 10:06amRich at FourFour made a video that chronicles the various homophobic fuckery that went on in America this past week. Watch it after the jump. It left me in tears. Read the rest of this entry »

Coldplay on The Daily Show
Friday, June 27, 2008 at 08:34amIf you didn’t catch Coldplay on The Daily Show the other night, video is below. Watch that second one and you tell me that Chris Martin isn’t completely in love with Jon Stewart. Adorable. Read the rest of this entry »
No Ice At the North Pole?
Friday, June 27, 2008 at 08:30amNah, there’s no such thing as global warming. But on the bright side, now we can further pillage the environment and dig for more fossil fuels instead of working to find clean energy! YAY!
Weekend Plans
Friday, June 27, 2008 at 08:16amIt’s been a great week or so, what with the REM and Pearl Jam shows. It’s not over yet — tonight is Eddie Izzard at Radio City Music Hall. Then next week? The Feelies reunion at Maxwell’s, a show that sold out in about an hour. It’s the summer of nostalgia. And then next Thursday, we leave for Canada!

Doctor Horrible
Thursday, June 26, 2008 at 09:47amRandom Observations from the Car Dealerships
Thursday, June 26, 2008 at 09:07amMost people have the stupidest ringtones. Seriously, lady, the theme from the Lone Ranger? And someone here smells like onions. And the wi-fi connection is kind of slow. And the woman who comes to fetch you once your car is finished is WAY too exuberant for a) this job and b) this early in the morning.
Earbud Help
Thursday, June 26, 2008 at 09:00amI’m sitting here at the Toyota dealership, getting my car serviced in preparation for our trip to Canada next week. WOOT! I’ve got my cheap Sony earbuds in, listening to Stern, and I am realizing that they are SO EFFING UNCOMFORTABLE. Consider this a call for recommendations. I’d like a nice, small, comfortable and relatively cheap set of earbuds. Buds I can wear for a long time (like an airline flight) that won’t make my ears start to ACHE fifteen minutes in.

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 at 08:42amPearl Jam
Wednesday, June 25, 2008 at 08:39amThe Pearl Jam show was much fun. Although now I am spoiled and from today forward I will refuse to attend a show at MSG unless it’s in a luxury box. Free dinner, free booze, and a private bathroom. Even our own t-shirt vendor. I loved it. Although we were up quite high, we were center stage and could really feel the energy of the crowd. In fact, at some points we could feel it so much that we thought the stadium might implode. Read the rest of this entry »

Tuesday, June 24, 2008 at 08:12amPearl Jam
Tuesday, June 24, 2008 at 07:56amYesterday Susie and her husband invited us to join them at the Pearl Jam show tonight at Madison Square Garden. Of course we said “yes,” I mean, it’s Pearl Jam. I haven’t seen them play live for about ten years. Oh, did I mention that we’ll be enjoying the concert in a private luxury box? How civilized! I can’t wait. Eddie Vedder, two times in one week. My sister is GREEN with envy.
