37

By the time you read this blog entry, my 36th year of existence will be over. Yes, today I am 37. Don’t believe me? Take a look at my bio over there on the left. The bio doesn’t lie. The bio never lies. Okay, sometimes the bio might tell a fib or two. But when […]

Selective Stupidity

I’m usually pretty good at solving basic math problems. But there’s one type of equation that constantly gets me confused: age math. I mean, how hard could it be to subtract 1976 from 2004? Apparently, a little harder than I thought. Last weekend, I was talking to my sister on the phone when she brought […]

Top 10 Incredibly Gay Things About Me

Top Ten Incredibly Gay Things About Me 10. Live just a hop, skip and a jump from West Hollywood 9. Use the phrase “a hop skip and a jump” 8. Like to shop at Williams-Somoma 7. The fact that I like to shop. Period. 6. Watch Queer Eye For The Straight Guy, but learn very […]

I Am Not A Prooofreader

As many of you know, I actually get paid to write. But one thing I don’t get paid to due is proofread. That’s why the ad agency hires professionals to nitpick every word on the page, to catch spelling mistakes and points out grammatical errors. Unfortunately, they don’t always do a very good job. An […]

Fun With Cable

Well, I spent the day working from home. Not because I have a really cool job that lets me do that kind of thing every once in a while. Because I had no choice. I wanted HDTV and I had to wait for the cable guy to get it. Now, we’re all familiar with waiting […]

Them Smart Asians

Today, I’ve sunk to a new level of laziness. I used up all of the dishes and silverware and now they’re all stuffed into the dishwasher. The only problem: I just don’t have the energy to turn the stupid machine on. Good thing I’ve got a good set of chopsticks. Yes, that’s right, chopsticks. I […]

Hot And Crusty

Look at the statistics. Chances are, someone you know is doing it. It could be that bookish woman in Accounts Payable. Or maybe that guy in the mailroom with the lazy eye. Of course, I’m talking about the Atkins Diet. Low carbs. High protein. That’s pretty much the concept. See, if you consume fewer carbs, […]

Filling Widows

I spent most of the day today trying to fill some widows. Despite how that may sound, it has nothing to do with laying pipe for spouses of the deceased. It means fixing the copy so that it looks a little better on the page. See, sometimes after all the copy is in the ad, […]

Letter To Procter & Gamble

Hey there. Just wanted to say that I love those Tide Rapid Action Tabs. They’re so convenient and they work exactly as advertised. Just drop them in the water and they immediately start cranking out the suds. There’s only one problem: they’re fucking discontinued. Come on, P&G. How could you do this to me? You […]

French For A Day

This morning I had a whimsical idea. I was just about to get into the shower when I thought to myself, ‘Why bother?’ I mean, it’s not like I smelled that bad, and the bed-head do I was sporting was actually kind of cool. So I said screw it, applied some deodorant, got dressed and […]
