Final Book Count of 2010
As 2010 draws to a close, I have accepted that Freedom will be the last book I completely finish this year. It was a good book and I enjoyed it - but it was so dense and full of so much — I don’t know, information — that I just kind of needed to step away from books for a while before I started again. I was glad to see that it had a lot of fanfare but didn’t make it onto...
Tucker Carlson On Michael Vick
cajunboy:
Regarding Tucker Carlson saying that he thinks that Michael Vick should have been executed for his role in a dog-fighting ring, there’s a part of his comment that’s kind of being ignored that I find both hilarious and maddening — Carlson’s proclamation of being a Christian just before calling for Vick’s head. His full comment on Fox News went like this:
“I’m a Christian, I’ve made...
2010
If I had to sum 2010, it would be the year everyone got married, had a baby or got married AND had a baby. Also, I turned 30.

The Hunger Games: The Movie. Getting closer! →
To say I can’t wait is an understatement. If you haven’t read this trilogy, run, do not walk, to the bookstore.
“To me, that sounds utterly disgusting. It makes me think of a clammy handshake.”

Financial Freedom.
I’ve always been extremely open with everyone about my financial troubles because they are scary and I don’t want anyone to go through what I had to learn the very, very hard way. Several years ago, when I thought I was moving back to Florida and was going to live rent- and bill-free for an indefinite period of time, I charged a ton of money to a credit card in an effort to fully enjoy...

You know what's kind of weird?
The stranglehold technology has on our lives affects everyone. No one immune. So when you’re email is rolling in, or your PDA won’t stop buzzing, or you realize you have ADD from limitless stimulation, and you’re at the end of your rope, BUT you’re Steve Jobs or Bill Gates or Steve Wozniak or whoever came up with email do you ever say to yourself, “You know what?...
I am so glad Tumblr is back...
…but I got so much done yesterday. I realized why I’m at work til 7:30 every night. IT’S ALL OF YOU AND YOUR INTERESTING NEWS ITEMS, TID BITS AND STORIES.

Calimari: THE SPOTTED PIG →
Mari and I ate at The Spotted Pig last week. My review is much simpler than hers (read hers cause it will be better) but basically after my first bite of everything I went “Oh holy Christ, that is amazing.”

The Spotted Pig is the quintessential West Village gem. Good food, check. Charming decor, check. Good looking staff, check. Wait for a table, check. And if you’re...
