Me Complaining
The Learnin’: It Ain’t Easy. (And Linkage)
I started french lessons this month and was *shocked* to discover how freaking hard it is to juggle intensive instruction, a full time job, and my 8 trillion personal endeavors.
There’s nothing like putting in a full day’s work and then going home to study.
Yes, this entry is almost entirely me complaining, and it has been [...]

I was going to damn Beet TV’s Andy Plesser to Hell for (as of today) still not offering a video podcast feed, as if anyone still cares about FireAnt anymore with the plethora of rss video aggregating channels out there with embed options. I don’t want to have to download anything to watch video! Sheesh!

Vanity Sizing * The Gap is a House of Lies.

Due to a combination of poor time management, being in the middle of moving, and working late hours, I was forced to stop by the Times Square Gap this morning to purchase some pants.
Earlier I had [...]
It’s Tuesday but it feels like a Monday.
… Chris Webber is from my hometown. My mom loves The Sacramento Kings. So, here’s a link to the Chris Webber news package my coworker Monty produced and that I built for the Overdrive News channel. “The Pistons star talks about his African-American artifacts, how hip-hop influenced his game and what he jams to in the locker room.”

Secret to my svelteness? The Incompetence Diet.
Ever since I moved to NYC (going on) three years ago, I have found it very easy to stay relatively thin.
Like many newyorkers I don’t have a car, which means I walk everywhere. I probably climb at least 5 very tall flights of stairs a day, and probably walk at least ten miles a week. [...]
I could have been a Prodigy.
While browsing through the selections at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, I came across the documentary I Could Paint That, which scrutinizes societies obsession with child prodigies.
