On Opening Day, And Massages Without "Happy Endings"

Monday, March 31st, 2008

I awoke slowly this morning, but upon noticing that it was roughly ten o’clock, suddenly sprung forth from bed. It was approaching 1:00pm on the east coast, and the first pitches of Opening Day were about to occur. I raced downstairs in the hopes that no one was awake and watching the television, and thankfully [...]

Surprise Sunday Mix Tape!

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

Surprise, I’ve made a mix tape for you. And why? Because I love you all. Plus, some of you have been quite loyal readers despite my discontinuing the weekly mix tapes. Also, I don’t want to do a lot of work tonight because I’m too busy being nervous about the Mets opening day tomorrow. Apparently [...]

Constellations. Plural.
• A professor has penned a detailed article on the topics of aliens and time travel, and I guess the fact that he is a currently-employed professor lends some credence to the fact that he’s talking about the existence of extra terrestrials and the possibility of time travel.

Good Friday, cyberspace travelers. I hope you are feeling well. In fact, I hope you are feeling so well that you wouldn’t hesitate to say you’re feeling downright jazzy. If this is indeed the case, you’ve definitely pointed your web browser to the correct page, because in today’s installment of “Treasures From The Collector’s Slum” [...]

In The Absence Of LOST We Reminisce

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Walt (above) is shown not soaking wet for the first time in four seasons.
I’ve been promising for a week to write about this season’s eighth episode of LOST, the mini-season finale before the show returns with five more episodes (and a true season finale) starting at 10:00pm April 24th. Apparently Grey’s Anatomy will take over [...]

Pumpkins Sue Label, World Laughs In Wry Amusement

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

I awoke yesterday to an e-mail from Ian (who had his ass handed to him in the comment section of yesterday’s entry) with a subject that simply stated, “HAHA”. When I clicked the attached link, I was transported to a CNN story about how The Smashing Pumpkins are suing Virgin Records. At first I thought [...]

Baseball’s Biggest Egos

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

In two hours and twenty minutes (I’m writing this shortly after midnight because I have to work all day Tuesday), the 2008 Major League baseball season will start. The first pitch will be thrown by Joe Blanton to whoever is hitting leadoff for the Red Sox tonight (Pedroia? Youkilis?). The Mets play their first game [...]
