So Dana's apartment in New York is fixing to have a couple vacancies in the near future. It's a three bedroom place in Morningside Heights (the Columbia neighborhood) and it's easily the roomiest place I've ever seen in Manhattan. Full Kitchen, Full Living Room (big enough to hold 2 couches and a dining room table!) and two bathrooms ( Read more... )

Man Beaten to Death in Philadelphia Subway

I'm not sure if this story makes me lose my faith in all humanity, or just the slice of it that lives in Philadelphia.

So I just found out last weekend that we've had HBO at my house this whole time. Which means, oh yeah, it's time to immerse myself in John AdamsUnsurprisingly, I'm a fan, but yeesh, this is some trying stuff. 90 minutes of nothing but debates in the Continental Congress does not make for entertaining TV.

In other news, apparently half the world doesn't realize that UPenn and Penn State are two different universities.

Castro resigns as president of Cuba

Wow. I coulda sworn this guy was going to stick it out to the bitter end.

And I will personally come to George W. Bush's home and sucker punch him in the gut if he takes personal credit for any of this.

At times I belly ache about New York. But the upside is that you often get to see movies before they get released anywhere else. Like Juno. Great movie (and an Arrested Development reunion of sorts). As funny as Knocked Up, plus no discomforting images of a dilated cervix. And J.K. Simmons is my hero. So yes, go check it out and maybe watched ( Read more... )

So the fine folks at Slate have dubbed desktop tower defense as game of the year for 2007.

I know I'm hooked.
