New Year’s Eve for Nerds: Countdown to the iPhone Release

I had to go to the mall tonight to turn over my engagement ring to the jeweler (it needs work), so I figured it couldn’t hurt to swing by the Apple store and see what was going on. I mean, it did just happen to be 5:45, and I was curious.
I wouldn’t say it was [...]

Does Kelly Clarkson Know …

… That her label put Anna Paquin (as Rogue, minus the white streak) on the cover of her new cd?

I’m listening to a free stream of the album right now. It’s really not as awful as everyone’s been making it out to be. And for the first few minutes of the last track, ‘Irvine,’ I [...]

I Guess This Means I Get to Hang Out With Charlize Theron and Mark Wahlberg a Lot More Now

I bought a MINI Cooper today. It was a I-really-don’t-need-a-new-car- but-fuck-if-I-don’t-deserve- a-reward-once-in-awhile type decisions. It’s been brewing for a few months now and last night I decided to stop torturing myself.

(forgive the ghetto photo cropping)

My favorite part of the buying experience:
Me: I really want the green top. But everyone keeps acting like it’s a bad [...]

The Perils of HDTV

Flipping through the channels tonight, Scott landed on a baseball game.
Me: Wow. That picture is just amazing.
Scott: Since when do you follow the Phillies?

‘Tell me what you find romantic.’
Me: Money?

‘Tell me some things you’re doing right now that are romantic.’
Me: Anal?
Scott: Oral?
‘Tell me some of the things that bother you about your relationship right now.’
Me: The gray cat.
Scott: Yeah, the gray cat.
‘Tell me some things you’re going to do after today that are [...]

Flipping Through Channels …

Me: I’m trying to be smarter. Can you put something cerebral on TV?
Scott: Hmmm. Let me see.

Me: Um. ‘American Ninja’? How is this cerebral?
Scott: It’s cerebral in that it’ll make you go read a damn book.

Ocean’s = 13, My Self-Esteem = 0

Scott and I went to see Ocean’s 13 today, and I’m not going to lie: We liked it.
Of course, we love Vegas (we immediately began reconsidering our honeymoon plans, which luckily — or not — aren’t final yet). We love gambling, and we love heist flicks. I find Brad Pitt’s character, Rusty Ryan, to be [...]

Adam Levine Really Loves Himself

I can’t deny that I find Adam Levine, the lead singer of Maroon 5, remarkably attractive. The thing is, though, that he’s the type of guy who knows he’s attractive, which makes him unnattractive to me … but not entirely.
Anyway.
Sometimes I hear lyrics from his songs, and I remember that the name of the band [...]

No One Writes to This Shampoo Solo Website, Including the Colonel

I’m sorry.
I’m sorry I never write.
I’m sorry I never wrote you back.
I’m sorry I’m so unreliable.
I’m sorry I’m completely unpredictable.
I’m sorry I keep letting you down.
I’m sorry I can’t keep my word.
I’m sorry I can’t stick to a routine.
I’m sorry for making this so hard.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
I feel guilty about it all the time. [...]
