Sensory overload

Wow, what a night. Last night was Duran Duran at the PNC Bank Arts Center, and what a performance. It was actually my second time seeing them, as Lisa and I had caught their first big reunion show in NYC about 2 years ago. For Lisa, it was her fourth time (although only the second [...]

Happy pre-anniversary to me!

Last week Lisa and I officially booked a place for our wedding. It’ll be July 29, 2006 at the English Manor. That’s right, at this time next year I will be Mr. Thomas Bernstein… wait, no, I mean Mr. Thomas Slattery… but, that’s already my… oh I give up. At this time next year I’ll [...]

How to refuse a search

For those of you who still bother to go into NYC, Flex Your Rights has a nice right up on what to do if you don’t want police officers to grope you in the subway. The basic premise: you have every right to refuse to search and leave the subway, but don’t be an ass [...]

Flash geography goodness

Sheppard Software has some cool flash games to help kids learn geography. They even do multiple levels of difficulty to test your ability with capitols, shape recognition, and placement. Level 5 for the US kept me busy this morning:

No, it isn’t hot enough for me

You wanna know a great way to make a near 100 degree summer night even better? Turn the oven to 450 degrees and then forget about it for an hour or so. I could have sworn I killed the gas midway thru cooking some taters. Well after having eaten dinner, I noticed the kitchen was [...]

Let’s boogie

Since I am horrible at getting around to reviews of all the movies I watch (which is really sad, considering how much I’ve slowed down with Netflix these days - more on that later), I try to at least talk about what I see in theaters. So how could I ignore the blissfully tripped out [...]

Two men walk into a bar…

…the third one ducks. The questions in this quiz alone had me laughing pretty hard - but I’m easy that way.

the Wit (56% dark, 39% spontaneous, 38% vulgar)

your humor style:
CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK
You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you’re probably an intellectual, but don’t take that [...]

Just hand over the damn fudge

I normally don’t get this “personal” online, so let me lay down a quick disclaimer: Lisa is typically the sweetest, most even-tempered person in the whole-wide world. Even when it comes to that particular time of the month, she is far more of the overly emotional, “prone to excessive crying during Hallmark movies” type than [...]

Should I stay or should I go

I rarely get out to shows these days, and haven’t seen much of the ol’ Open Mic crowd. But Eugene is playing at Maxwell’s tonight:

Alrighty, the rest of the Internet can shut down, we have a winner. There is no need for anything else on the web, except for Jowlers! This site should be able to keep us amused until the end of the world. The insrtuctions alone [...]
