Who's your daddy? Go on... say it. I like it when you say it.

I just ate some leftover Chinese food from yesterday... let's just say that it's not really agreeing with me at the moment.

My neighbors got a dog several weeks ago. Adorable little guy; I think it's a lab. But the fucker will not stop barking. And, my neighbors are kind of assholes, which isn't helping.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm just not a...

I've come to the conclusion that Mondays kinda suck. I'm always tired and sluggish on Mondays. Funny thing is, I really didn't do anything strenuous over the weekend, except catch some metal cover bands on Friday night (HonkeyKong, once again you guys rocked!) and work Saturday night.

I bit this story from the Mac Users group. I don't often find myself tearing up over news stories, and I don't really know why this one struck me, but... I don't know. It just did. Maybe I'm feeling emotional following the London bombing... maybe it's the rain... maybe I'm tired... or maybe in this cold, cynical world it's the simple, unexpected gestures that...

I didn't watch a lick of the Live8 concerts... does that make me a bad person?

London was awarded the 2012 Olympics... is it me or have the Olympics become irrelevant? Faithful readers of this space know my obsession with sports, but I can't say that I've gotten really excited about the Olympics in years. London will stage a magnificent Games, but I think a...

Ugh. Tired does not even begin to explain how I feel right now. Got home at... shit I have no idea when I got home from a crap-ass night at the bar (4am-ish?); showered; went to bed; got up at 6:15am to open the pool at my condo complex; and now I can't get back to sleep.

Actually, it's times like this when SG is...

Is it me or is there such a thing as "Blah Weekend Syndrome?" I realize it's the 4th and all, but I'm not really feeling it, you know? Maybe it's because I'm working Saturday and Monday; maybe it's because we're half-way through the year and emotionally I feel like it's still the first week in February; maybe it's because I haven't showered yet today ;...

I've been on a mini music kick lately, so here's an update: Digging the new Coldplay; need further listenings of the new Beck; rocking (in a mellow way) to the new Audioslave.

The Coldplay CD is lush and just beautiful. The new Audioslave is solid, if a bit subdued compared to the last one. The Beck CD hasn't grabbed me yet; I'm not disappointed by...

Well, the stupid Spurs beat the Pistons. But honestly, I don't really care... I'm a long-suffering Knicks fan.

Picked up the new Coldplay for $8.99 at Circuit City, and a used copy of Beck's new one at Coconuts for $9.99. I'm cheap. Anywho, I haven't had a chance to listen to them yet, but I'm psyched.

Slooooooowly learning the PDA.

I think I might go...

Happy Summer! OK, I'm a day or two late, but it's the thought that counts.

Here are some questions:
1.) If you have the new Coldplay or Beck CDs, let me know how much, if at all, you like them. Thanks.

2.) If you have a PDA (PalmOne, HP, Sony, etc.), how do you like it? How do you use it? Is there a PDA...

Thanks for the kind words about my latest freelance assignment. Who knows whether they'll call me again (I kinda think I pissed off the editor I was dealing with), but at least I can say I've done a couple of projects for the NY Post.

This is random, but if you like magazines (I'm obsessed with them) you need to check out this site. Cheap...

So yesterday morning, I'm hanging out at home while overseeing some renovation work on my buddy's condo in the building next to mine when the phone rings. It was the NY Post and they asked me to cruise up to federal court in New Haven to report on the case of a mother/son con artist team who bilked millions out of wealthy investors and even...
