Thirties

Jul 10, 2003 ramblings

I heard this morning on WTOP that a study announced that both geniuses and criminals do their best work in their 30s, and both mainly to impress the opposite sex. So, it’s comforting to know that my best days are ahead of me, but it begs the question— what about Criminal Geniuses? MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAA!!

It also begs the question, how come all of the cool little throwaway stories I hear on WTOP never seem to show up on their website?

UPDATE: I found what I think is the original article [link now hopelessly broken —Ed. 2015-08-14] on an Australian news site. It’s not as comforting as I might have hoped… Apparently when I got married, my genius got turned off "like a tap." Well… bugger.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think this all sounds like some plot straight out of Dave?

I quit.

That’s all. I quit.

Tyre

Jul 3, 2003 ramblings

So, I was trolling around late last night, looking for a local grocery store that was open 24 hours, only after a thorough survey of all of them within a 5 mile radius (well… okey, maybe not that thorough), I discovered that they all closed by like 11pm or midnight, and this was about 1am. […]

Pip’s Big Day

Jun 29, 2003 flicks

My friend Tyler Bowers entered his friend’s Jack Russell Terrier, Pip, in this year’s Gold Cup race. Then, he made a short film about it. Watch this excellent movie now! [“Pip’s Big Day” is offline —Ed. 2015-08-22]
