So, my neighbour, she's a twenty-something neuroscience graduate student at Brandeis. I've helped her on a couple of occasions - her homework, clearing her home of some rowdy party-goers and driving her to the airport. Tonight, when I came home, I found that she had left me some chocolate chip cookies in my mailbox, with a card that had the following message:
Really? Most people tell me to go back to ginger. I think I will dye it pink for a while.
She sounds like the perfect kind of hot. I think she's more than kind of interested in you. Maybe you could say you have two tickets for something, and go there with her. No reason to stop seeing the others YET. But you could make up your mind as soon as the decision seems more obvious.
So, today, I had to run a demo of our game for Todd MacFarlane, one of the art directors on the project. I'm not a fan of his work, but the fact that I was in the same room as the guy who co-created Venom and drew Batman: Year 2 gave me a geek boner like... Read More
Well, that last blog was a little self-indulgent, wasn't it? I think I will always get angst-ridden when this time of year rolls around. You thought I was a sad-sack fop in the previous entry? Wait until the end of February, the one-year anniversary when my fiancee told me that she loved a screenwriter more than me.
Anyway. Do you think I would attract more,... Read More
It had been about two years since I read it, and I had forgotten how brilliant a writer he is. I keep reading things and wanting to call people up to share the wonder of his sentences.
It struck me today that 22 years ago, I hadn't pictured myself being single at this age. When I was 14, I wasn't obsessed with marriage or with settling down (what adolescent is focused on such things?), but I did have a general belief that I would not be single for all my life. I'm 36 years old now, and I'm beginning to wonder if... Read More
On a whim, I went to an info session at Boston University that discussed the Master's of Computer Science for professionals. I left inspired, so I've decided to apply to the program. In the meantime, I registered for a course in artificial intelligence for games at the university.
You've been reading the blog of the hottest new co-ed on the BU Metropolitan College campus. I... Read More
The year 2008 has come and gone. It started with so much promise, with a marriage proposal accepted and fanciful dreams of matrimonial happiness close to becoming reality. However, what should have been a joyous engagement turned into a bad episode of a relationship sitcom, when Mary Jane dumped me for some Hollywood screenwriter. The year ended with my family feeling the effects of the... Read More
Allow me to set aside the smarmy for a moment to share with you what I have learned in these final days of 2008.
A broken engagement is nothing compared to becoming a widow after a marriage of 40 years. How could I have ever thought that I knew what heartbreak was, when I hadn't experienced the sudden loss of the person with whom I... Read More
Thanks for assuring me I am not fat. I guess objectively I know that but it is lame to get older and not be able to eat whatever I want without gaining an ounce. Whine whine.
Why do people have to die? I don't want to witness the deaths of family and friends. Please, if you have a vaccine against death, let me have it, so I can give it to every person that I love.

DAMMIT IT DIDN'T WORK!
