Looks like we're the fools here. The Personal Soundtrack T-Shirt was originally an April Fool's Prank… but due to overwhelming positive response and hundreds of e-mails screaming to "make the damn shirt already" we're putting this item in to production

The Peril of Obama | The Atlantic

The glamour of Obama may be hard to resist, but could it get the country into trouble if he wins the presidency? At the risk of bitter disillusionment, perhaps Obama hopes to do for the country what his father?s image did for him: provide a noble lie t

+ When it rains, it pours… By Jason 05 October 2007 at 9:01 am 225 views 1 Comment

It’s been awhile since I’ve complained about the apartment in which I live, but this morning after a pretty big rain storm I heard some weird noises coming from the kitchen. What were they? Drips… of water…

Nice. So here I sit, missing work, waiting for the roofers and the maintenance crew to get their collective butts up here to fix this. Sigh :( They’d better get here soon, seriously…

If a restaurant has “contemporary” in it’s name, don’t eat there. For example: “Contemporary Italian” means, “Does not taste like Italian, but we gave it an Italian name”.
