Yeah… I dunno what’s more nauseating about this story of the girl fight with garden appliances – so you tell me. What’s worse: Seeing a sixteen year old get clocked in the cranium by her ex-buddy with an airborne digging tool? The insensitive sharing and laughing at it on social media? Or (wait for it) the fact that the girl died later that day? With Facebooks trend inundation feature, I.. Read More
Let’s join hands and thank god for another season of Louie. After watching the two-episode season premiere, I think what I like best about Louis C.K.’s show “Louie” is – well – there’s not just one thing. For one, it’s always nice when a show doesn’t have a giggle itinerary suggested by some prescription tracked laughter. Then there’s the combination deadpan delivery and deer in the headlights reaction to moronic.. Read More
Change is tough. But wasting change to make changes is a horse of a different design (I feel like that’s what the idiomatic phrase should really be – I mean what else could they be referring to than a zebra? What horse is more unique than a zebra?). And speaking of designs, that’s why yesterday, when I documented my design demi-makeover, I explained that it’d take some world class worldwideweb..

I did a grand spring cleaning. It was inspired by this cathartic, domestic urge to purge my domicile of- Okay. Can’t lie. It was kinda required. We all got this goddamned inspection notice a few weeks back – the day before apartment inspection was due to happen. And being imbued with false pride and a desperate need to keep up an illusory appearance of perfection, I cancelled all of my.. Read More
Funny how we pass mice off as dirty creatures – usually a sign of proximate decaying food (which probably fell between the counter and the stove last week when I was trying to cook). But when we start to decay, they’re the ones who teach us how to help our demise go in slow-mo. For example, the most recent experiment they’ve done on these poor tortured rodents is for anti-aging..

Not really sure how I feel about this “Transcendence” flick (I mean the new Depp movie about being able to upload human consciousness into a computer – not a Supersoul Sunday special.) And I spout such ignorant pontifications as I’m about to with complete love. And preconceived notions. And 100% judging a book by it’s movie trailer before actually watching it. But the thing is, I have read (part of).. Read More
It sounded like something out of an Arthur Clarke book – this 3D printing thing. I remember seeing it late (out of touch, as I usually am) sometime this year and had a genuine “Whaaa??!” moment. The kind where you half wonder if you even heard it right because you’ve only gotten down a gulp of your morning Sumatra and it’s entirely probable that your brain’s going David Blaine on.. Read More
As everyone continues to get married and have kids, I start to feel like the kid who isn’t getting picked for baseball in P.E. Except I hate baseball. And why do we have to have P.E. anyway? Thing is, I’m envious. But not that they’re married and not that they’re starting families. I’m envious that they want that stuff. That, and I feel like I’d better appreciate their trips to..

You know, I like this idea – of “making the homeless visible”. But something about this video that’s gone viral struck me wrong: People passing their loved ones on the street probably had a fleeting thought of, “Gee, that looks like Bobby!” followed by the sad thought of “what if he really didn’t have a home?” and then “Gee I’m lucky not to have fallen on hard times” (followed by..

I live for those “I could die right now” moments. But I don’t mean the saccharine amorous encounters like meeting the love of your life (or even just someone who can make you explode spontaneously in your pants). I mean being in the store when a violent fight breaks out. Or getting stranded miles from home without your car when you spot a tornado. Or digging your own grave in.. Read More
