Okay, it's a bit overcast, and maybe a bit cool. But after wearing a winter coat for four months, followed by two weeks of freezing my ass off because I refused to wear the bloody thing again, I think it's safe to say that Spring has finally reached the Northeastern United States ( Read more... )

Well, would you look at that, Christopher's typing about sports again. Sports of the international variety.

This time, however, it's not soccer. Nor is is Basketball. It's Baseball. The only sport out there that even comes close to capturing my heart the way Soccer does. The tournament is called "World Baseball Classic". It's the tournament that ( Read more... )

Yup, I'm curious. This is a topic on a message board I frequent (PPMB, a Daria fandom board), and there are some pretty good examples in that thread. I picked three; one each from Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan. And then I remembered I need more Leonard Cohen on my iPod.

Just peachy, thanks. It's 7:25 am, and I left the house three hours ago. I got on the 5:38 out of New York. At about 5:50, they tell us the train is going to be awhile, and we might want to find another way to Newark. So I did, which cost me more money than I care to think about right now ( Read more... )

So, you think you're pretty geeky. You write the fanfiction, you know HP and at least one other fandom inside and out. You quote Monty Python at the drop of a parrot.

But you don't know geek until you know...

The Order of the Stick

Oh. Holy. Crap.

So, it has all the geekiness of a webcomic (which is considerable), with the added geekiness of Dungeons ( Read more... )

1) Someone forgot to give Alex Rodriguez the "Emotional Fortitude" expansion pack when he got his ridiculous amount of athletic talent. The man has done and said just about everything he can regarding the steroids deal from six years ago, but he's honestly incapable of saying the right words. I believe him, personally. I think he realized it was ( Read more... )

Oh Holy Crap.

Dos a Cero. Two-nothing. Again. Oh. My. God. I watched the game in a soccer bar in Manhattan (and yes, there are such things, generally for the benefit of UKish expats). It was loud and raucous. DW and I got there about half an hour before the match started, and it was already too crowded to move. I yelled so loudly that I can barely ( Read more... )
