    This morning, I had my first ever stress test. I wrote about my heart rate before and have wondered if it might be too high for my age. Tobyjoe, who has a running heart rate of 165 (tops), has often suggested that I might just die of a heart attack when I run. When I…

    My scale decided that it was no longer an American. On Thursday morning of last week it began giving me my weight in stones. For no reason, mind you, it just stopped reading pounds. I figured that maybe it was just going to be British for one day, so I ignored it. Come Sunday, it…

Today, Maddow interviewed Mark Jacobson of New York Magazine who recently wrote an article on a new generation of conspiracy theorists. I’ve always been a little blown away by the number of people who believe that the administration KNEW about the attacks…

    A few weeks ago, I went ahead an purchased two tickets to see Jonathan Lethem read at BAMcafé. While there, I realized that Mary Gaitskill is reading as well. Currently, some of us are reading her over on Spread. We’re reading Two Girls, Fat and Thin. The book has spawned many of weird and disturbing…

    Yes, I totally just quoted a Whodini song. Yesterday, was a really, really rough day for me. My head was all over the place. I wasn’t very pleasant to be around. I certainly wasn’t very pleasant to know. It sucked. I sucked. I should bury my head in the sand instead of attempting the social…

    The other night, the 2008 presidential election came up. We were making assumptions as to who might run and who they might run against. Both Tobyjoe and I feel that Mark Warner, the former Governor of Virginia, stands a pretty good chance at becoming the next Democratic nominee. At some point, Tobyjoe suggested that the…

    This morning, the L Train was a complete nightmare. But today, something really cool happened. I was standing on the platform waiting for the train, knowing full well I would have to wait for at least one to go by before getting on, when someone came up to me. “Hey, did you once work at…

    I (re)launched a version of iHateDesign this weekend. It’s still in beta. I anticipate changes over the next month or so. But, at least it’s working! Stop by, if you have a chance.
