Bush led this country to war because, he claimed, Iraq was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction and the country posed an imminent threat to the United States. So where are all those weapons? And why did Bush lie to us? Bush and his administration need to be held accountable for their serious actions that have […]

Shaolin Soccer
Friday, June 13th, 2003 · 1 Comment
I’m happy to report that I’ve just purchased one of the best movies I’ve seen in the past year: Shaolin Soccer. Directed by Stephen Chow with kung-fu action choreographed by Ching Siu-Tung, this film simply rules. It’s action-packed, hilarious (yes, it’s a kung-fu comedy), and has an awesome story with great characters. It’s won best […]

The Edge #16
Thursday, June 12th, 2003 · Comments Off on The Edge #16
My friend Larry Weinstein is the featured author in the latest issue of The Edge (#16), a horror publication. His last piece, Hot Coffee, was his first published piece that appeared late last fall. How cool is it to go from first published piece to the featured author on the cover in just two issues? […]

Vassar Chapel Construction
Wednesday, June 11th, 2003 · 2 Comments
Jen and I have known for quite some time that the Vassar Chapel was going to be under construction on our Big Day — though we were led to believe that the construction would be over by this coming summer. We found out well after we had booked the Chapel and begun other planning (it […]

Crazy Days
Tuesday, June 10th, 2003 · Comments Off on Crazy Days
Things really heated up at work on the e-Learning front (in a good way) on Friday, so even though I’ve only been at work two full days since then, so much has happened that it seems like it’s been a week. Yesterday I was in meetings all day long, then headed straight home to pick […]

Wow. This has got to be one of the funniest and most awesome things I’ve seen in ages: An actual ghost in a jar for sale on eBay. The bidding ended today and gary_the_gimp_horn (with 2 negative feedback ratings) is the winning bidder for a whopping $50,922. That guy is one lucky bastard. He now […]

That Ariel Guy
Wednesday, June 4th, 2003 · Comments Off on That Ariel Guy
MTV: Educating (the youth of) America. Is it just me, or does it strike anyone else as absolutely hilarious that this MTV headline — Who is Ariel Sharon? — is currently the top “news story” on Google News? I think it’s a sad and telling truth when even the Google News algorithms know that so […]

Credit Fraud
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2003 · Comments Off on Credit Fraud
Today was a seriously stressful day, as I discovered that some punk-ass opened a Sprint PCS cell phone account in my name in May 2002 and has run up more than $500 in unpaid charges. It went to collection and now appears on my TransUnion credit report. I have reported it to fraud, filed a […]

Bostonian Akron Shoes
Monday, June 2nd, 2003 · Comments Off on Bostonian Akron Shoes
I went to Macy’s at lunchtime today to look for new shoes for the wedding. I decided on some slick Bostonian shoes — the Akron model with Classic First/Flex design. They’re really comfortable, too, and I’m sure will go well with my tux. I pick them up tomorrow.
