Gambling

21-Jul-06

Has it occurred to anyone that the reality of gambling in Philadelphia is almost upon us? What will it do to the city? Gambling, whether we like it or not, brings less than plesant fare. I’m not talking about those who play casually (like myself when it comes around – I’ve never gambled – I [...]

Two Things

21-Jul-06

Must to the chagrin of Lisa, I went back to my old barber. Why? Because firstly, the barber in this area is a communist. And when he gets to a point, he’ll stop cutting and start waving the scissors around. Very disconcerting. And secondly, the old barber has been cutting my hair in excess of [...]

Calm down on the vitriol

20-Jul-06

I got tagged by Blinq, a Philadelphia Inquirer blog. I noticed it just now – and I was quoted! Check it out here. I wish I noticed it before, I’m like an excited school girl. And also humbled, since this weblog is apparently searchable by technorati. So um, I should stop mentioning how much I [...]

Why?

19-Jul-06

Why do I hate the Phillies and not the Eagles? Because the Phillies continually screw things up. Not just players (Abreu never ever runs close to the wall, not even the warning track – and he’s been with the Phillies how long?) but also payroll (how do you give a guy who had one good [...]

Sell-Out

18-Jul-06

I’m in love with Toyota’s Rav4, Highlander and FJ Cruiser. I would love to own a Highlander (Hybrid, of course!). My dad *hates* my car (with a burning passion – and he never really explained why); he offered to help me buy a Highlander. Any idea how hard it was to say no??

No Buzzing

17-Jul-06

After 2 hours of fscking with the stereo and components, I found the source of the buzzing and the waves – it was the vcr. I have no idea why it was/is doing that. I always thought it was how I wired the stereo (the sub and other speakers in the parallel – the other [...]

Trade Rumors

13-Jul-06

Now, I love New York but lets get one thing clear: New York teams are terrible. With the exception of baseball, but baseball as a sport is terrible. To that end, I’ve adopted the Red Sox as my team of choice (mostly because, courtesy of dear Ilana, I have a BoSox hat). Well, the Rangers [...]

Reflections #2 / Uselessness

12-Jul-06

When it gets more popular, it’ll be less secure, Tuesday December 14th 2004. Apple is having some difficulty keeping up with the security updates, Today. Well, that’s actually common knowledge. And frankly I guess it’s not really a reflection only because people were stating this well back into the 9.0 days. BUT! I feel like [...]

Introspect

07-Jul-06

A thoroughly narcissistic entry, but it’s an honest reflection nonetheless. You know what my problem is? I’m a ‘pleaser’. I’m a ‘pleaser’ because it’s 10.38 on a Friday night and I’m at the office. Now who I’m pleasing, I will leave to your imagination. It’s more than one party, certainly. What is a pleaser? One [...]
