The Top 10 Guy Days of the Year →
This list is horseshit. Starts out well enough, with Fishing and March Madness, but it quickly de-evolves into “Your Birthday”, “Your Anniversary” (an important day, but not a guy day), “The Day the Lawn Stops Growing” (How about the day the lawn STARTS growing?), and “The first cold night you can light a fire.” WHAT?!
Super Bowl Sunday is #10, and...

You know, last week the wife and I took Ella to go see Enchanted at the cheap seats. It was an alright movie. But there was a brilliant moment where the princess (now in the real world) experiences a “real world” feeling: anger. It completely turns her character around.
Anger is an emotion that makes us human. And while I’ll be the first to...
Another Toledo Tumblr! →
I keep looking at the new Tumblr map to see if there’s any more Toledo tumblrs, but I seem to be the only one.
If anybody else comes out of the woodwork, I’ll buy them a cup of coffee at the Downtown Latte. Okie doke?
I tell you what helps getting through three 10 minute interviews of asking some of your closest family and friends what their biggest loss in their life has been…
Booze.

Brilliant. I don’t know how many times this flipping thing has ended up under a pile of papers or between the couch cushions.
Really cool moment today, that kind of made the best of a crappy situation. This morning, before I left for classes at the University, I checked to make sure that classes weren’t cancelled. They must have called them after I left, because at 7:30, things were still on, but when I walked into class at 8:10, it was just the teacher and 1 other student.
It was cool because not only did I get...

The disappointing part of today is that we got nothing for Vyborny, Peca or Hainsey. All of which was shocking, especially Peca and Vyborny. Both who had hot rumors that they were going to go somewhere. This is my one disappointment with what Howson did today. If you are going to do a fire sale, burn the sucker to the ground and get the full insurance...

Six more hours until we’ve dodged the “born on Michael Bolton’s birthday” bullet. If we can’t make leap day, I hope we at least manage that.
At least you don’t have to worry about your son/daughter being born on possibly the worst day ever. Yep, you read that right… the birthday of Paul Reiser, MC Hammer, Ian Ziering, and Celine Dion.
Plus, not to mention I was born...

13. When signing your first contract, you should:
A) call an ex-rapper and ask him if he’d like to be your agent.
B) use the really nice crayons.
C) make sure you’re getting at least as much money as you did at USC.
D) try to avoid a contract holdout, unless you want to back up Derek Anderson for the next 4 years.
Last night, we got to go see The Lion King musical (media perk!). It was pretty damn good; very well done visually. The guy who played Mufasa might as well have been a young James Earl Jones, and the guy who played Scar… well, he’s no Tim Curry (nobody’s Tim Curry but Tim Fucking Curry), but he filled the role well. Bravo.
Alright, apparently my fridge has died. Great. Fantastic.

Alright, what the hell?
There were 3 half-gallons of milk in my fridge. 1 of them was about half-drunk, and had an expiration of 2/24. When I opened it to pour myself a glass, it was actually chunky.
The other 2 half-gallons weren’t supposed to expire until 2/29. Both of them smelled awful.
I don’t understand what the deal is, because the fridge is working fine. It’s not...

Picture the whole world against you. It’s surrounding you. Screaming at you. That’s right, keep focusing. OK, now what else do you see? Maybe an obscene gesture? No? Well, picture harder then, because that’s definitely what you see. And now perhaps the world is throwing something at you? Is it a 16-ounce plastic beer cup? No, no, trust me, that’s what it is. OK, keep...

Maybe it’s not an Internet Win (tm), but it’s nice to get some exposure finally.
“What sucks is that I hate the smell of cabbage, it makes me nauseous, it gets everywhere, and I have to wash my clothes when I get home. Since they banned cooking cabbage, I can enjoy going to Irish pubs/restaurants, Jewish delis, and Sauerkraut Cafes, because that’s really where I want to be, after all, the customer is always right, and non-cabbage-eating customers are the only customers that...
'Lights' may shine on other networks →
NBC Universal execs have decided they want to go the extra yard to ensure the drama returns for a third season. To make sure that happens, conglom is having serious conversations with several networks about a plan to carve out multiple broadcast windows for the show, which has received critical worship and has a cult-like following.

This website is awesome for learning signs. It’s got a pretty decent dictionary, a separate section for conversational idioms and Religious signs, and even has a section for people who want to study ASL for Babies.

For the first time in seemingly forever, I had a bowl of pasta fazool. My mother used to make it for us growing up, and tasting it again was like a complete flashback. It must have been what the critic felt at the end of “Ratatouille”.

Today, we went out and bought The Land Before Time for Ella, and watched together as a sort of Family Movie Night. After the movie, we tried to explain that the T-Rex wasn’t being mean for the sake of being mean, but rather he was a meat-eater, and was just as hungry as Littlefoot and his crew were. It was just that he happened to want to eat Littlefoot and his crew (It really is a matter of...
