Barbarian Group Photo Booth.
Rick and Keith set up a photo booth at the Barbarian Group Holiday party on Thursday night. Basically, you walk in; press a button and a picture is taken. It’s stored on a hard drive and a little while later it shows up on a huge screen on stage. It was quite fun to watch.…

Heavenly Boston Cream Pie
Tobyjoe and I are heading up to Boston later today. Tomorrow is the annual Barbarian Group holiday party so we decided to go up a day early. We’re staying at a hotel that happens to have the infamous Heavenly Bed. That’s right, Internet. Tonight, I’ll finally get to take this thing for a test drive.…

Some Contemplate Suicide When They have a Migraine. Me? I Suffer With Style.
The other day while suffering through the final stages of the most traumatic 12-hour migraine, I flipped off a great movie to watch the Style Network. The show that was on at the time was called Style Original Special, Tom and Katie’s Wedding I loathe Tom Cruise. I don’t dislike him in that I’m-secretly-obsessed-with-him kind…

Roast the Bean
Tobyjoe turns 29 today. He’s a wee lad. This is a picture of him when he was a really wee lad. He’s sitting with his sis. Here is another one. He didn’t even dye his hair. Whose hair does this so quickly? Bean’s hair, that’s whose. This is the Beanager: This was taken by a…

Wall Street
My brother has worked on Wall Street for years. All this time he’s been telling me stories, stories that have rendered me speechless. I had no idea things what took place at the NYSE. I’d seen movies, heard stereotypes, and I’d placed a few bets here and there, but my brother’s stories had me asking,…

Mary Cheney's Baby.
“It’s very disappointing that a celebrity couple like this would deliberately bring into the world a child that will never have a father,” said Crouse, a senior fellow at the group’s think tank. “They are encouraging people who don’t have the advantages they have.” OK, Janice Crouse, perhaps Ms. Cheney and her partner, Kim, should…

Overly Emotional Today
You know what the worst part about this story is? The worst part, the part I can’t seem to stop thinking about, is the fact that James Kim died without knowing that his family was safe. This bugs me greatly. And this story sucks.

New Wart City
I haven’t left the house since yesterday afternoon and at that point I drove to Fornino for a calzone. The girl behind the counter greeted me by saying, “How is you don’t know our menu yet? I see you here all the time.” I wasn’t thinking straight when I ordered it, which is why I…

United 93
Today marks my first day working from home since my last day at work three weeks ago. It’s been pretty awesome. I won’t lie. I got up at 7:30 AM, showered, and then got dressed (and, yes, I need to mention that I got dressed because I nearly stayed in my jammies). I sat down…

Dexter
If we ever have a son, is it wrong to name him after a serial killer? He only kills other serial killers, after all. That’s a good thing, right?
