I thought I had interesting troubles? In the course of one week, Jake got flashed on the highway by a school bus full of 8th graders and had his laptop stolen by an honest-to-god crackwhore.

I feel his pain over the laptop, but that's still hilarious. I mean, how does shit like that happen?!

Reinstalling Windows has always been as fun as skinny-dipping in an active volcano, so it's not as if I'm unaware of what's in store for me every time I partake in a system cleansing. Inevitably it leads to formatting the HD and reinstalling Windows at least twice (once it was as many as 6 times), organizing an expedition to find all the drivers I ( Read more... )

I went to see Julia play the lead in "Kiss Me Kate" on Friday. The entire show, I sat next to a lone woman. During intermission, a man came over and they started to talk over me, in Russian. After a few minutes of my sitting in the middle of their discussion, in a Russian accent, she said, "I'm sorry... do you speak Russian?"

Yesterday, I was sitting around watching a movie with Lena, Sammie, and Joey. The white woman in the movie had a black cook, at whom she yelled at for something. Joey, almost 9 years old, asks, "Why did she yell at her slave?"

Clearly, neither of us knew how to react. We didn't know if she should say thank you? Or me, since I'm the one the compliment was aimed at? So we just stayed mute and ( Read more... )

Damn that fucking kid! His stupidity has thrust the song into the public eye and I completely hate it. KTU is playing atrocious translations, the media is clawing for any scent of scraps, and every site online is abuzz with the latest "Numa Numa News". The secret is out ( Read more... )

Question of the Day: If someone were to (purely hypothetically, of course) serve you some exquisite meat, but half-way through your eating it told you that it's human... what would be your first thought ( Read more... )

Cramer and I tried sake on Friday. It's nothing special really; it just tastes like very strong wine. I don't know what I was expecting, but I actually felt a bit disappointed. We got a $20 bottle, and the bartender also gave us free shots (worth $30 each) of the more expensive stuff. Kinda cool to get free shots that are worth more than the ( Read more... )
