It probably says more about me than the writers at Yahoo! that when I saw this headline, I picked up that the story was going to tell me how to “play” the market with “3 ways” and offered to link me to more advice on how to “beat it.” Throw in the phrases “battered” and [...]

I bought a new watch today. It’s the first time I’ve bought a watch since I lived in Vegas. In this age of cell phones, who uses them anymore? However, I justified the purchase as something I needed for the LSAT. I need to get better about budgeting my time on the test, and I [...]

The first night of my LSAT class went well, I think. We took a timed exam to establish a baseline for our progress. I think I did okay. The logic games were the last section, though, and they continue to be my toughest section. Coming at the very end of the 3.5 hour exam didn’t [...]

I got a new phone today. I finally have a big boy phone. After years of using the cheapest phone on my family’s “friends and family” plan, I decided to upgrade. I’ve spent most of the afternoon adding music, picking ringtones, and generally playing with the new toy. I have a new phone number, now, [...]

It’s actually quite fun to watch Jennifer get angry about certain things. The video that inspired this particular trigger is below the jump. Basically, a guy claims atheism is bunk because he didn’t find new organisms in a jar of peanut butter. As for me, I became incredibly angry listening to this clip (opens an MP3) [...]

Alright, so I may not be a very funny comic, but at least this one is based on a true story. I also figured out that if I do the basic stuff on bitstrips.com, then save the image file and open it up in Photoshop, I can play a bit more and add a few [...]

Look at this fun new service from bitstrips.com. Now you can design your own web comic strips. To be honest, the character design could use some improvements (I couldn’t find anything that looked like Jen’s hair and the clothing options are severely limited), but it’s still fun. So we’ll see if I can bring the [...]

It took me less than 24 hours to read Blind Fall by Christopher Rice. I’ve read all four of his books (usually within weeks of publication) and it fascinates me to watch him grow as a writer. Blind Fall is, once again, his most mature book to date. Before setting out, I typically know four [...]

I decided to go crazy this weekend and shave off my beard. For the time being, my chin is as smooth as a baby’s bum. Not my bum, that’s hardly smooth. I should maybe use Nair on that. Reviews have been mixed. I got comments ranging from “did you shave something?” to “why do you [...]
