Historically speaking I’m a fairly quick and accurate judge of character. Usually the situations in which I have to judge end up affecting only me, such as where I determine whether I want to socialize with someone based on a thing or two that they’ve said or done. Sometimes I end up judging someone’s character [...]

Conversation had on Saturday:
I-6sis: “What are you doing for mom on Mother’s Day?”
I-66: “We’re taking her to The Oval Room for brunch.”
I-6sis: “Okay good. I’m going to pay for it.”
I-66: [pause] “What?”
I-6sis: “I’ll call down there and take care of it.”
I-66: “Uh… Alright. Thanks.”
(“Take care of it” in this case means pay for it and [...]

Yesterday I took Striker to meet Chick Magnet. The unspoken logic was “yellow labrador retriever and golden retriever? they’re bound to like eachother!” Uh… not exactly.

Over the course of my life I’ve met a number of people who were introduced to an age-restricted substance at a young age. Well, I should say over-introduced. As a means of preventing future use, these folks were made to drink more than they should, or smoke a bunch of cigarettes in a row, or [...]

The writers’ strike pushed the opening of the new season from June to September of this year, and HBO’s started running ads for the new season.

It’s a wonder the snooze button even works on my alarm clock. I’m one of those people that sets the alarm 15 or 20 minutes earlier than he needs to get up so he can get the psychological benefit that comes with hitting the snooze button to get those “few extra minutes” of sleep. Of [...]
