I’m BAAAAAAACK. I know I float in and out of this place often, but for some reason my focus always wanes when I’m with someone. That unfortunately is no longer the case so maybe I’ll be showing a half-assed effort in the near future. A few things I’ve been thinking about recently:
Yay, TV is back. Lost, The Office, Heroes, Boston Legal, The Ultimate Fighter, and the best show on TV: Battlestar Galactica! Now if they’d only bring back It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Arrested Development my life would be complete.
Work has been kicking my ass. I’ve been putting in an extra 10-12 hours a week for the past three weeks, but I’ve learned that nothing feels better (workwise) than leading a team to meet a goal. I’ve also learned that success (at least my most recent) can be summed up in one word: Initiative.
Have you seen the Volvo commercial with the little girl telling her dad a story? Am I the only one who thinks this is the most adorable commercial ever? I TiVo through all commercials, but when this one comes on I can’t help but not watch it. You can find it here. Click on the second icon under “watch the commercials.” Update: here’s the GooTube version
Some random links for you:
A recent study in Psychological Science shows that average faces are deemed to be pleasing/beautiful because they’re easy for your brain to process. I don’t know if I agree or not, but this girl is really cute.
Celebrity bra sizes. They don’t list references, but I guess I can agree on Katie Holmes. But where’s Natalie Portman? And what size is Tara Reid now? And what’s with these 33-B’s and 35-C’s? I’m no bra expert, but I always thought they were even numbers. I just checked my most recent Victoria’s Secret catalog (Fall Fashion 2006 vol. 1) for confirmation and they only list even sizes as well. Feducci, BlondGirl, any clarification? (sorry but with all this talk about boobs I’d be remiss for not sharing this youtube video. ps - I was on The Price is Right once and saw nothing of the sort.)
Joe Purdy and Josh Radin October 30th at World Cafe! Two weeks from today! So psyched! So so psyched! I was talking to a friend the other night and realized that I haven’t been this excited for a concert since Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds like eight years ago. I’ve bought my ticket, how about you?
Question: (in Dwight’s voice) Is inline skating with a cape dangerous? Cause I’m thinking about going Project Runway on this Halloween’s ass and making a cape for the Halloween skate.
And finally I’ll leave you with my new policy for computer consultation. A friend called recently to ask if I could get files off an old hard drive for her and brilliantly enough I read this (now archived) craigslist posting on the same day. Amazed by this guy’s business model I’ve adopted the same policy. Sadly she hasn’t taken me up on the offer yet.
