Selling Things Online is Fun!
I’m buying my GF and I new laptops, so I’m selling my old Fujitsu Lifebook. I’ve sold some NES games recently on Craigslist, so I figured I’d use it to unload my laptop as well. So far all I’ve gotten is a bunch of responses from “Nigerian bank account”-type scammers. It’s pretty obvious which mails [...]

In the time it took me to photograph and blog this, it quit being funny to me.
Read More..>>Blu-Ray Makes Me Steal (More)
I’m not a Blu-Ray fan. In fact, I don’t give a fuck. Oh, and it really only has a little to do with my intense hatred of Sony.
Think of it this way: Back in 1999 I was used to playing video games on the Playstation and Nintendo 64 and when the Dreamcast came out, I [...]
Half-Baked Joke
Was out with mah GF and our friends-that-are-also-another-couple (because we’re apparently old and lame now) and passed a McDonald’s whose marquee read THE McRIB IS BACK.

Let me explain my hate/hate relationship with white beers. For unknown reasons a [...]

I know the feeling has been bothering me for a while now, but it wasn’t until today that I was finally able to really put it all together in my head:
Probably the most depressing part of my job is the surprising number of people I talk to every day with these really lofty “let’s start [...]
Werther’s Dirigible
Quite by accident the other night a friend discovered that a White Russian in which you substitute vanilla rum for the vodka tastes exactly like Werther’s Original caramels. I showed the drink to Cameron this afternoon and he dubbed the butterscotchy concoction a Werther’s Dirigible. I like it.
Try it yourself: 1 part vanilla rum, 2 [...]
Fancy Schmancy
I’m not quite sure how it’s happened, but since moving to Portland I’ve somehow been snookered not once but twice into having drinks at what I like to call “whoopdy-fuckin-doo” bars.
The first time was at a little place called Rocket, where Adam had — for reasons unknown to me — arranged to meet a couple [...]
Monkey Business
I like the term monkey business a great deal because even if monkeys are conducting what they think is business, it’s just shenanigans by people standards.
