What does “mad as a hatter” mean, anyway?
I guess I could try to look it up, but I'm not really all that interested. I'll just assume there was some sort of parasites in old hats that got into hatters' brains and drove them mad, much like what happened to Scotty in Wrath of Khan.

Are babies organic?
Speaking of which, this may be the best store-bought salad dressing I've ever had. The stores here only carry two different varieties of this brand, and they're both great.

Me and You and Everyone We Know: Take Garden State, add twice as many characters, turn the main character (and writer/director) into a woman, take away the recognizable actors and the Shins music, add a hint of pedophilia, and this is what you get. I liked it a lot. 4 stars.
Broken Flowers: Take […]

“Is there anything you want to tell me? Anything that happened in Taiwan?”
Oh my god, she knows.

Screw it; it wasn't amusing enough to recreate.
The stress is getting to me. Between […]

“So, [this friend of a friend] says he saw a mango bouncing down the road in Africa. He followed the mango until he came to a tree, where there was a vampire laughing at him. This guy just stood there laughing at the vampire, until it disappeared, and then he picked up the […]

If you click here, you'll not only get to watch people waiting in line at the Anchorage DMV, you'll get an idea of how my day went.

As I mentioned previously, my iPod hard drive up and died the other day. I would have bought a new one this weekend at Best Buy if only I could have found a salesperson to get me one out of the locked case they keep them in. If I had bought one, it […]

I thought this Salon article, “The baby industrial complex,” was going to be about Buy Buy Baby and the horrific amount of pressure parents are under to buy the right things for their new little bundles. But no, it's about the fertility industry. Which isn't something I'm concerned with.
Apparently some of you don't […]
