Rats!
In the mood of celebrating nothing much at all, I treated myself to sushi at N_____. In the transitional hours between lunch and dinner, most of tables lacked any customers. In all their were three more people on the wait staff than customers. Despite the large swaths of empty sections, the waitress sat me next to two Asian women speaking loudly ( Read more... ) -
Emancipation!
That's right, I've cast off Comcast cable and Comcast internet. I am fully Comcast free for the first time in eight (?) years. Last month's bill topped out at $129 and change, and it just seemed completely crazy. I've wanted to do this for years, having suffered my share of double charges after every move, mysterious missing payments, month long ( Read more... ) -
In "honor" of Kayne: X-posted
I don’t want to sound like I’m knocking Kayne West, because if 808 and Heartbreak is a flop, it will be the kind of failure that will probably inspire a whole sub genre five years from now.

Formulas.
I enjoyed the new Hulk movie a little more than the Ang Lee version, but I liked both. In retrospect, the earlier movie suffered mostly from the casting of the two leads. I like Eric Bana but he probably only agreed to the project in hopes of jumping into the Hollywood mainstream. Jennifer Connelly was a lazy choice (let’s throw money at a ( Read more... ) -
Scary Shiiit
And more anxiety about the upcoming home purchase.... I've been knotting my stomach for weeks now, but I'll have to think of a narrative before I can put it all into prose. -
July 4th, July 4th, July 4th
Just putting this out there: Anyone interested in going up to NYC on the 4th?
In Battery Park there's going to be a free Sonic Youth concert, with THE FEELIES reuniting and opening. I think I'm about the only Feelies fan in MD, but you never know.

Hemorrage (look it up)
I'll use it in a sentence: What happens when a site that doesn't make that much money starts hemorraging users?
I've had very little problems with my lj account as its
A. Low Maintenance
B. Low Mileage
But every now and then the ever changing parent company gets a bee in its bum and tries to make this into a respectable and lucrative venture. ( Read more... )
