What’s the return policy on nostalgia?

3:02 pm on Thu, 30 Apr 2009 , ,

I’m a collector. Of lots of things. CDs, DVDs, books, receipts… Receipts?!?!
Alright, it’s not like I pick up random receipts off the ground or snag them from tables when people aren’t looking or go to trade shows to discuss the latest and greatest in receipts. I simply don’t throw them out. And I attempt to [...]

Apartment Fail

12:12 pm on Tue, 28 Apr 2009 , , , , ,

This is far from the funniest picture ever put up on FAIL Blog, but it might just be the coolest (at least to me):

see more pwn and owned pictures
Obviously it was taken in Hoboken, but those who have known me long enough should take a closer look. The storefront isn’t as recognizable since Hobos closed [...]

Da-Da

12:48 pm on Wed, 22 Apr 2009 ,

I had a post in mind this morning as Kayleigh slept in my arms. It was going to talk about how quickly she’s changing and there’s so much I already miss. But that can wait, because something far more important arose.
As I was getting dressed for the day, and Kayleigh was in her mother’s arms, [...]

Where The Wild Things Are

3:23 pm on Fri, 17 Apr 2009 , , , , ,

Please tell me you’ve seen the trailer already. Seriously, if this thing doesn’t tug at your inner child’s heart strings, I don’t know what will.

I’ve watched this about a dozen times and still get misty-eyed. The Woman actually paused the Ellen Degeneres Show and called me in for the debut. There’s just so much being [...]

I’m not THE Taxman, I’m A taxman

12:59 pm on Thu, 16 Apr 2009 , , ,

There’s a hilarious episode of Corner Gas featuring the great Kevin MacDonald as Marvin Drey, a tax auditor who comes looking for Oscar. The exchanges between him and Brent are priceless:
Marvin Drey the Taxman: Is your father coming in today?
Brent LeRoy: Is he in some kind of trouble?
Marvin Drey the Taxman: Trouble? What makes you [...]

You got bacon in my chocolate

12:49 pm on Sat, 11 Apr 2009 ,

The deed has finally been done. As if in much-belated answer to my cries for help, I came across a sampler bar for Mo’s Bacon Bar at Whole Foods a couple days ago. After carry it around like precious gold all day, The Woman and I split the half ounce of unholy/heavenly bliss with at [...]

From one anxiety to the next

9:53 pm on Tue, 7 Apr 2009 , , ,

Sometime over the holidays Kayleigh started getting nervous around strangers. Well, her definition of strangers, which would be anyone who wasn’t present at her conception (hey, that’s her definition, not mine). It might have had something to do with the sudden introduction of all 50 (rough estimate) members of my immediate family in a kitchen [...]

Gmail Autopilot

11:54 am on Wed, 1 Apr 2009 , ,

Did everyone catch the latest Gmail offering? Autopilot. It does all of your e-mailing for you. Yeah, clever and subtle enough to make for a decent April Fool’s Day joke – although part of me wishes they would go ahead and make it.
My prank this year is writing an actual post with almost no content… [...]
