I’m so glad to read that My Big Fat Greek Wedding is likely to overtake the ridiculous Blair Witch Project as the highest-grossing independent film of all time. The former is so much better than the latter. It’s currently at $110M to the Witch’s $140M record. It’s also pretty cool that the movie will become […]

Happy’s here at work with me this afternoon. It’s so refreshing to have a dog who actually likes people and who doesn’t try to attack other dogs in passing. He’s just chillin’ on the floor of my office right now. He’s a really good officemate, unlike Stella Brie. My nervousness has subsided since this morning’s […]

Whenever the email goes out to friends and family, it’s official: Happy Dingo McGee is part of the family. I went home at lunch today to let him out of the kitchen and to take him and Stella out for a romp. They met new friends — Milo and Xenon — and ran around off-leash […]

Yesterday was an exciting and exhausting day for everyone. Bobby has officially been renamed Happy Dingo McGee and he’s quickly settling in and getting used to living here. Stella has had her bitchy moments, of course, but she’s getting better. She’s still guarding all her stuff, but hopefully that will fade with time.

Vassar pulls in right around its usual spot (number 15 this year) in the annual U.S. News & World Report college rankings (in the liberal arts category, of course). And, in a “duh” move, the IRS is now spending more time investigating people with lots […]

Grrr….stupid Blogger is having problems right now. Sometimes all my archives (or, in this case, June, July, and August) will simply disappear from my archive list. I guess there’s something going on with technology today. I also typed this long-winded suggestion to Dreamhost about offering an interim hosting plan that would be about 15 bucks […]

Today at lunchtime I went running for the first time in as long as I can remember. And it was an actual, sweaty run. I went with a couple co-workers. We ran 2.5 miles in about 23.5 minutes. A slow pace, for sure, but not too shabby seeing as I haven’t run in ages. My […]

I like what Yahoo! has done to its home page today in honor of the first 9-11 memorial. Yahoo! has also put together a nice tribute page for victims of the attacks.

It’s hard to believe a full year has already gone by since that tragic day that the face of America was changed forever. As someone pointed out on NPR this morning, the mood of the country seems to be more somber than anger. 365 days ago, as Americans and citizens of the world watched in […]
