Urinal Wars II - The Paper Towel Strikes Back
It's been a few days since the first salvo was fired in our little battle of bathroom etiquette. The urinal thankfully remained paper-towel-free for a few days, which is great, since I hate it when the urinal (or any toilet plumbing) clogs up ( Read more... ) -
Best thing of the day: The Indignant Urinal
The men's room in my complex is often a mess. It's as if all those Ph.D's are afraid or incapable of doing simple things as flushing, putting trash in the trash can, etc. On occasion, anonymous signage has appeared, taking the general men's room populace to task for their uncouth behavior. Today, such wall markings appeared above the urinal, and ( Read more... ) -
The weekend in 3-minute reviews

The artistry and beauty of the performance is matched only by the finely-honed precision and perfect sympatico between the various members. Krauss sings the way Heifitz played, and Jerry Douglas' dobro playing is masterful, full of ( Read more... ) -
So excited
In 20 hours, I get to see this:
Although it's a repetitive song, I love the phrasing and texture of Inara's voice on the "Do it again, do it again, again and again..." Mmmmm...yummy! -
Cold fun
Val and I went to our first professional sporting event Saturday night. My co-worker Marc got a VIP Skybox at MSG for the Rangers-Colorado game. If this is the only pro sports game I ever attend, I'm glad this was it - the skybox was deliciously luxurious and the game was almost Mighty Duckly awesome, with a 6-1 Rangers win that included the ( Read more... )
