Ever since the weather gods heard my plea -- and enjoyed my exceptionally pathetic attempts to persuade them with dance -- modulating the weather knob away from the Fucking Awful setting which brought the mean day temperature to levels that can almost be referred to as "possibly tolerable by a human being", I, your humble servant and certified ( Read more... )

He drives a white Mustang. His haircut is an atrocious combination of a mullet and the "mauled by hair clippers" look. He wears large sunglasses and sports premeditated stubble. Outside York University, he anxiously grips the side of his car waiting for the light to turn green. And his license plate is...

So I've been sick for most of the week, unable (and unwilling) to leave the house for anything but seeing the doctor ("You don't have strep, you have some virus." Thanks doc!). This interesting twist of fate resulted in a de facto vacation of sorts, a throwback to the lazy, friendless life of years past ( Read more... )

The worst moment was that woman talking about film noir. The best moment was Robert Altman and his introduction.

I got on the bus today and was greated by a fat black woman driver. I thought nothing of it because I do live in a big city and I'm sure the proportion of fat black woman bus drivers is appropriate. So far, so good. Interestingly enough, she didn't have a Carribean accent, or any accent really, besides fat black woman accent ( Read more... )

I just won my first (Texas hold'em) multi-table tournament. That's $450, baby! And I made about $200 in a cash game.
