The Sun Is Overrated

I’ve had the window open since last night. It’s 60-some degrees, the air is crisp and carrying a little water, and the sun has been behind clouds all day. I’ve got The Postal Service and The New Pornographers playing, and I can smell Fall. Life is pretty good.
Here are the bullet points from the […]

Amazing

It is 65* F, the sky is scarred with grey clouds with orange edges on a calm blue sky, and The (New and Improved) Bureau is about to rock the All-Nighter. Prepare yourselves.
Big long post tomorrow morning.
P.S. Our latest video endeavor, ReMarkable, is online. Check it out and you will laugh. Hard.

Happy Blogoversary To Me!

It was exactly one year ago that I started this blog with an epiphany of sorts. I’d done the blog thing before and never really enjoyed it past the novelty of a week or so. I am quite surprised this lasted as long as it did. But aside from the occasional boring week (such as […]

Logic

That these events are related is inconceivable.

That Spanish Degree Is Finally Paying Off

Tonight Sing, Ben, Jordan, Linda and I went to Jaleo for dinner to celebrate Sing’s acquisition of a job. That makes it sound like he’s a hobo and this is the first time he’s been employed, and that’s accurate. In reality, he received a terrific offer from a firm in NYC and to celebrate, we […]

Software Recommendations

Both iTunes and AIM told me to upgrade today. iTunes 7 - two thumbs up. AIM 5.9, which I’d been resisting for a long time, two thumbs down. I’d had a ton of custom code and plug-ins applied to AIM to maintain the environment I liked - a streamlined appearance, no ads, no sounds, tabbed […]

Segregated Dishes

Yo Lopey: my new roommate segregates our dishwasher
Yo Lopey: he won’t wash his dishes with me
Yo Lopey: he makes me do mine first and empty it and then he does his later
Yo Lopey: and i think it’s no coincidence that all of my plates and bowls are white china and his are black

I know this doesn’t surprise any of us, but shouldn’t it bother us? (In both directions)

“I Hate Intact Limbs”

That is Tony Jaa’s motto. Every actor has one. Like Katie “I Hate Emotive Facial Expressions” Holmes or Christopher “I Hate Boring Characters” Walken. The Protector is Jaa’s latest romp through the world of single-handedly keeping the world’s orthopedic surgeons employed. It’s ok that all of the stunt men were seriously injured filming this movie, […]
