It’s not that I am upset by the cover, it’s just that a lot of other people seem to be.  The cover is clearly not meant to say Obama’s a terrorist or whatever, but it does kind of seem cartoonish and innappropriate from the standpoint of someone who gets easily offended- which I don’t.  But it […]

Yesterday I bought insoles, today they’re in my shoes.  I have been wearing these shoes, insoles inside, for approximately one hour and a half and they are vastly improved.  My walk to work used to hurt a little, just from my shoes, and today I walked faster, and yes, even bouncier.  One thing that was […]

Whenever I visit my parents, I make sure to visit Target before returning to stupid target-less NYC.  I mean, targets exist here, but not in the wonderful, stocked, convenient glory of the suburbs.  Last weekend, my mom bought me this great lime/mustard green sweater dress with a drawstring.  I secretly suspect that my mom bought […]

I don’t know when it happened, since I hadn’t checked in for almost a year, but McSweeneys’ Internet Tendency finally added RSS feeds for new posts.
It’s great, and a good percentage of what scrolls past me in Snackr is now McSweeney’s-derived.
This is a really great (albeit strangely late) step for McSweeney’s, but their reluctance to […]

When Ellen came out, it was such a big deal.  For some reason, I feel like she was one of the first famous lesbians; at least that I can remember.  Ellen is now dating Portia de Rossi, who is wicked awesome.  But aside from Ellen, there has been a kind of bump in the amount […]

Two questions:
What happened to “neither candidate will be able to win the amount of delegates needed to claim  nomination”?
and
Why was the media telling us that if it wasn’t true?

Edit 6/4/08 - Jay from the Switchabit team has again proven to be very helpful and the problems seem at this point to be very creepy indeed, but not Switchabit related.  If Jay’s diagnosis (involving multiple IPs from my router) is correct, then their help has amounted to far more than content distribution hiccups.  Still […]
