If I ever have a cat, I am going to name it Copy. Second choices would be Smelly or Handy.
That being said, I hate cats.
true blue.
I was driving to San Jose today and on the electronic signs where they give general driver information like “Wet roads, drive carefully” it said, “Child Abduction: Blue Honda Civic, License Plate C34DL Call 911.”
I was driving a blue Honda Civic. The Minivan Mom next to me must have seen the announcement right after I had because as she glanced into my lane, I saw a...
Eight more years.
I texted the numbers 4-6-7-3 earlier tonight. I was trying to use the word H-O-P-E and my phone thought I was using the word G-O-R-E.
Could my phone be connecting a certain hope-powered presidential candidate and a certain seasoned vice president and environmental enthusiast? Gorebama, anyone?

Sale away.
Krystal: It's 40 cent wing night!
Me: But...you got chips.
Krystal: Yeah. I don't like wings.
Me: Then why are you excited?
Krystal: Because I love SALES!
Choo Choo.
While celebrating my amazing Dad at the Cleveland Indians game tonight, my brother noticed a sign at the top of the stadium. Referencing the Indians’ outfielder Shin-Soo Choo, it read “Big League Choo!” For the rest of the night we traded puns that we might like to see on a sign celebrating this Korean big leaguer.
Here are the some of the best. [That could also mean:...
Sigur Ros is still as gorgeous as ever.
If only life were more like 1984.
There are some times that I might not mind an Orwellian present. Big Brother might come in handy in some certain situations.
Lets say you’re at a graduation. The idea is to hold your applause until the end so that the students who don’t have boisterous families don’t feel like total rejects. And yet, those boisterous families pull out the air horns and harmonizing screams. ...

Living Live.
I was driving again today. The iPod was charged up this time, and I decided to indulge in my yearly summer tradition: Dave Matthews Band. I keep Dave in the metaphorical drawer for most of the year, but every summer him and his band of merry men [mostly Carter; but he has enough jolly to go around] make their way onto the speakers. It was the Golden Gate Park concert. The one I was at. That I...

The iPod I’ve been using on my 45 minute commute died 30 minutes in today. So, I used that opportunity to brush up my knowledge of current radio hits.
As I pulled into the parking lot, One Republic’s new chart topping smash hit single “Stop and Stare” played me into work.
When I got in the car to head home this afternoon, One Republic’s old chart topping smash hit...
Off the Wall-E.
In an effort to nosce te ipsum [know thyself; thanks Wikipedia] I’ve decided to practice expectation control. I have a consistent tendency to project near mythical expectations onto films I’m excited to see only to walk out of the theater saying something like, “It just wasn’t what I was expecting.” Of course it wasn’t. Nothing could be.
Here are some movies...

alive and blinking.
I like the idea of being thankful for blinks.
It’s one of the first things that people do when they realize they’re alive. They blink.
So, whenever I am feeling the world collapsing underneath me, I think about how at least I can blink.
At least I’ve got that going for me. I can keep certain dirt and dust and atmosphere out of my eyes.
Coldplaying.
Viva La Vida Or Death and All His Friends hit the michevious internets today. I’m three songs deep in my first listen.
The album is much better that Martin and Co’s performance at the MTV Video Awards on Sunday. Did anyone else think he was off key more than he was on?
Ah, who am I kidding I’d still pay 100 bucks to see em live.
