Yankees Reach Free Agent Quota →
But, oh, what will Scott Boras do if he can’t use the Yankees to drive the price for Manny up?
Puppy Bowl V →
I find this to be way more entertaining than the Super Bowl every year. How can you not love puppies?
I thought I’d lucked out finding a nice big empty bench to sit on during the lunch rush, but having sat here for about half an hour now, I can see why this bench wasn’t claimed. It’s concrete and in the shade. In other words, the concrete is FREEZING. When I stand up, I probably won’t be able to feel the lower half of my body. Feeling is overrated anyway.
I love it when people stand right in front of me and smoke. Last I checked this spot wasn’t a special designated smoking area.

But what about the name Herbert? If I name my kid Herbert will he become a raging serial killer?
Seriously, what did the world do before we had cell phones so people could sit around in public places and discuss their public business on the phone in a super loud voice so everyone could hear?
Also, I’ve been killing time for the last couple hours waiting for a class that I’m hoping to add. Right now I’m sitting outside, and I feel like the sun reflecting off of my Macbook...
I just watched four episodes of Heroes in a row. I think that pretty much guarantees that I’ll have screwed up dreams tonight.
John and Marlena on Days of Our Livesgross me out with their breathy, gaspy acting, but I think it’s totally lame that former mercenary John was taken down by a super skinny blonde with a syringe full of … dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuuuun! … muscle relaxant. And now he remembers everything, including Marlena and all of their soft focus flashbacks to when they both had mullets, which I...
Teen Magazine Shutting Down →
Back in the day I totally had a subscription to Teen Magazine, even though deep down inside I thought Seventeen and YM were better. I probably had various subscriptions to all three at some point during high school. It’s crazy that only Seventeen is still around now.

There were some seriously badass presidents.

– “This American Life” #372: The Inauguration Show. (via fishy) (via inauguration)
Lifetime is showing their original movie about Fantasia Barrino … starring Fantasia Barrino. When the movie first premiered, I’m pretty sure I watched the whole thing for the laugh-factor. After all, the scene where she throws up (as in projectile vomit here, folks) at the kitchen table is epic, Oscar-worthy stuff. However, tonight I could barely make it through the first few...
It’s really disappointing to be about a mile into your jog, know you’re making good time, only to look at your iPod and see that it says you’ve only run .10 of a mile. Ugh. I ended up turning off the Nike+ stuff and kept up with my run. I want to get back into using the Nike+ stuff, merely because I miss having it count up my steps and mileage and put them on pretty graphs,...

How to Stop Having an Inappropriate Crush →
I have lots of nifty things on my iGoogle home page, including news headlines, baseball headlines, MLB trade rumors headlines, a daily Calvin & Hobbes comic strip, the weather, and the daily puppy. I also have a section with the “How to of the Day” which features three articles from Wikihow. I don’t actually read these how to items to learn how to do things. I keep them...
It’s funny how every year I don’t really think about American Idol until it starts up again, and I’m watching that first episode, and I’m overcome by this happy feeling like I’ve just been reunited with an old friend, and everything is comfy and the same, and we fall into the Tuesday-Wednesday routine just like we do every spring. Okay, so I didn’t exactly feel...
New couple alert! Paris Hilton was all over San Francisco Giants’ baseball star Barry Zito at the grand opening of MyHouse, a new Hollywood nightspot. Whether it was drinking, hugging, whispering, laughing or holding hands, the two were focused only on each other – and Hilton looked really happy, a clubgoer tells us. The heiress flitted from table to table, chatting with fellow revelers...
I enjoy watching Lifetime movies in general, but I especially enjoy them when they have people from TV shows I watch in them, like the one I’m watching right now with Kelly Rowan (aka Kirsten Cohen on The O.C.) as the concerned mother and Dustin Milligan (aka Ethan Rodentface on the new 90210) as her lost son. She’s searching all over Canada for him. In short, it’s awesome.
I woke up this morning sounding like I’ve smoked twenty packs of cigarettes a day for the last fifty years.
