Isn't it weird when you see someone that looks...
Because I just saw my childhood best friend. But since the last time I saw him, he became a 60 year old Korean woman.

“Weak eyes are fondest of glittering objects.”
– Thomas Carlyle
I was going to make a very deep and insightful comment about this, but then I saw some tinsel and started pawing at it like a cat for about half an hour, and now I can’t remember what I was going to say.

Women are getting more beautiful →
This is probably one of the worst articles I’ve ever read about a “scientific study,” but there are a few things that amused the hell out of me. And, don’t get me wrong, ladies. I don’t doubt that you’re all getting more and more attractive by the day, let alone decade. A quick walk down the sidewalk of any busy Los Angeles street is more than enough proof for...

The Disconnect Between Brain and Mouth at Brunch
Scene - Bustling restaurant. The air is filled with the sound of plates clinking against silverware and the hum of several conversations going on at once. The waitress approaches my family’s table to take our orders.
My Brain: Salad. Salad. Salad. Just get a salad. Look, it has chicken in it. C’mon, you like chicken. It sounds tasty. You don’t need anything crazy. Just get the...

Hold On, I Notice A Trend...
A couple weeks ago, I decided to start running on a regular basis again. A few days later, I went to a concert and severely sprained my ankle.
Disappointed, but trying to keep a positive attitude, I figured that in the meantime I could still work out in other ways, despite not being able to run. Not too long after, I ended up with a nasty wrist sprain that left my hand so swollen that it...

Apple Store Fun
I just got back from picking up an iMac repaired at the Apple Store. While exiting the store with a computer tucked under my arm, I found that a good way to confuse and startle the people close by is to look around nervously with wide, shifty eyes, loudly whisper to your brother, “I don’t think anybody saw!” And then, run out of the mall as fast as you can while laughing.

Two Years on Tumblr Today
Is it bad that I’m not yet blog potty trained?
Edit: Ok, turns out my Two Year Tumblrversary was a couple days ago. But, with my tendency to be late, this is fitting.

Benefits/Drawbacks
Having a mother that is a doctor has its benefits. For instance, when I sprain my wrist and I’m not sure if its fractured or not, I can just ask Dr. Mom to do a quick examination to see if an x-ray is warranted.
Having a mother that is a doctor has its drawbacks. For instance, instead of getting a regular assessment of my injury, Dr. Mom pokes my wrist and laughs at me for about five...

Anybody Want to See Conan Today?
This is incredibly late notice, but I figure what the hell? Does anyone out there want to see a live taping of The Tonight Show this afternoon? I have a fourth ticket and no friends that are available. So, if you’re in the LA area (or any other area and can run really really fast) and are interested, let me know. It’s Conan! C’mon!

I'm Easy
by Paul Simms
Oh my. What have we here? A rainy night in the city has cleared the sidewalks of all but the most intrepid pedestrians, and those who didn’t brave the elements have no idea what they’re missing.
Because there you are, gliding along on your bicycle, just a few feet ahead of me.
You’re obviously not one of those tedious hard-core cycling enthisiasts—no...

Question
Would it be funny if I dressed up as a wizard and got in line to see a movie other than Harry Potter today?
No? Just pathetic? Ok. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Double Standards
How come when girls show accidental nudity to strangers, it’s a “free show.” But when I do it intentionally, as a courtesy, it’s a lot of screaming, pepper spray and a frantic phone call to the police?
[Just in case it’s not clear, I’m just kidding. They usually use tazers, not pepper spray.]

Signs of Summer
I know that summer officially began about three weeks ago, but for me, the summer doesn’t truly start until I say or hear the phrase “hot as balls” at least a dozen times in one day.
With that said, summer is definitely here. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to pour some ice into my shorts.

Just Saw Bruno
A lot of people have already started expressing their opinions, and by next week, almost everyone is going to have their own personal take on the movie. Brilliant comedy or puerile garbage. Subversive genius or a vulgar celebration of idiocy. Good or bad for the gay community.
I don’t care to talk about any of that. What I will say is that my experience was made slightly more interesting by...

7-8-9
As a huge fan of wordplay and clever use of language in humor, I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to be alive to see this day. For those unfamiliar with the famous punchline and joke (and seriously, how is that possible?):
Why was 6 afraid of 7?
Because 7 ate 9.
Granted, the joke is really dumb. But, to the 1st grade version of me, it was absolutely brilliant. I ended up telling all my...

“Remember that feeling of buying an album? And you didn’t have a lot of...”
– Ed Droste of Grizzly Bear on the way downloading songs has changed the way we listen to music.
Getting a new album was such a big deal to me as a kid, and the magic of discovering the music and then having your opinions of it evolve after repeated listens is something I never want to lose....

This is what I get for watching a video for TLC's...
This morning’s shower singalong setlist was a medley of late 90’s-early 00’s R&B. So, while I was getting myself clean and good-smelling, I was belting out everything from Ginuwine to 112 to Nelly. Aside from annoying the hell out of my neighbors, revisiting these tunes reminded me of a few things.
My musical taste from middle through high school was questionable at best.

Serendipity
This is the third year that I’ve done this, but I always forget that driving down the freeway on July 4th is one of the more surreal experiences I’ve had on the road. It’s like driving through a gauntlet of colorful explosions. It’s even more fun if you make believe that it’s not July 4th, and everyone around is just so thrilled to see you that they spontaneously...

July 4th Safety Reminder
With all the hot dogs and hamburgers we’re eating today, let’s remember to double check that the ketchup/mustard bottles are tightly sealed before we start shaking them. Otherwise, you’ll end up baptizing everyone around you with condiments, much like my brother just did to me.
My white shirt is now half red. On the bright side, my clothes now go quite well with french fries.
