Later this afternoon, we’ll find out if we’re going to have a “Fannie Mae moment” (in reference to their commercial), except that we won’t be buying a dog. I’ve conditioned myself for disappointment, mainly because the offer may be too low for the owners. But still, I hope we’ll get lucky. In the meantime, I […]

The weather’s been real strange lately. For the past two weeks, it felt like summer with temperatures reaching almost 100°. But today, it feels like it’s winter again – it’s 37°, there was frost on my car this morning, it was foggy coming into work and it’s just f***ing freezing outdoors as well as indoors. […]

The Mexican I tried watching “The Mexican” (starring Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt) last night…. but just couldn’t get through it. I had high hopes for this one, especially with the great cast. I’m a big fan of Julia and Brad, and especially James Gandolfini, but this was definitely one of the lowlights of their […]

Oz: The First Season DVD set Hands down, HBO has got to be the best TV channel on the planet. Some of the series that they produce are the most original and exciting shows ever. For me it started out by getting my hands on the first season of Sex & The City on DVD, […]

The NBA Playoffs So the NBA regular season is finally over… thank God because it was getting real boring. The Sixers are the sixth seed in the playoffs, actually a lot better than I thought they would do. Considering that Allen Iverson was out for the last 15 or so games, it’s amazing they even […]

Zoe’s been pretty fussy lately. I think she’s starting to develop the “terrible” in the “terrible two” stage. She just loves saying “no” lately, and we’d catch her looking at our reactions and seeing whether or not it will piss us off. Now is the time when patience does become a virtue. It will be […]
