My first week at Philadelphia Weekly went well. I'm just hoping that I'll be able to move beyond the point of staring at numbers and endless Microsoft Excel sheets soon. I'm waiting for data to drop into the sheets to then pass along to the web editor. Yesterday was something of a break from Excel, as I got to research and catalog old online ( Read more... )

I've reached a point where the idea of watching the news or anything on network TV fills me with dread. Why? It's all politics! By that I'm referring to election and presidential politics that have been figuratively shoved into the eye sockets of people everywhere. It's amazing how much time has been devoted to election coverage on TV, and yet it ( Read more... )

My RSS feeds never fail to inform and entertaining me on an almost daily basis. Today I came across some of the most amusing political news yet, not counting those "terrorist fist jabs".

When deciding how to best set the tone for a political ad one should always choose video game music, specifically from Medal of Honor European Assault, now that' ( Read more... )

I ended up going to bed early last night due to noticeable decrease in my health. I'm not sure if I'm catching a cold, suffering from allergies, bad diet or a lack of proper sleep. To remedy this I'll be heading out to buy vitamin C and iron pills (I ran out sometime ago and haven't been taking them) to go along with my multivitamins. I'm also ( Read more... )

When unable to see the State of the Union address, settle for the next best thing! Parodies of course! Ah YouTube, what would I do without you?

I actually found the Democratic response to be funnier. XD

In less entertaining but still interesting news, John Kerry will not seek the democratic nomination for the 2008 presidential election. ( Read more... )

I finished another case in Phoenix Wright, so now I'm on my third one. I'm actually glad to be done with the second case, as the characters were amusing, in a piss-me-off sort of way. In other words, one moment I'm amused, and the next moment I'm annoyed. April May was fairy annoying during the Cross-Examination, but her boss, Redd White really ( Read more... )

I found out that today was in fact an election day. The general elections are months away, but the primaries are being held now. I would have completely missed that that fact if it wasn't for a post in the philadelphia community. So I viewed some samples of the ballet questions and a list of the positions being voted on, and the people who were running. It ( Read more... )
