Someone ought to tell Chuck that “ano” and “año” are two vastly different things, ‘cause I’m sure he didn’t mean what he actually said. And if he did, I don’t want to know about it.

Are you suggesting coconuts
walkoffbalk: MIGRATE? “It’s not a question of where he grips it. It’s a simple question of weight ratios. A five-ounce bird could not carry a one-pound coconut!”

New battery, High Performance: 3 hr 01 min
Old battery, Power Saver: 15 min I believe they call that an “improvement.” Also, the new battery doesn’t make Windows go ASFKLAJFA BAD BATTERY BAD!! when I boot it up. Windows did that with the old battery for about a year for no reason. And it did charge even though Windows insisted it would have nothing to do with that battery.

McGwire doesn't make the cut, but nine others do -... →
Martinez: The last player I checked off on my ballot, but not for the reason you might think. I have no problem with a player who primarily was a DH making the Hall. Martinez and his brethren did not invent the rules; they abided by them. The best players at every position should be honored. The reason I wavered on Martinez is that his peak was too short, lasting essentially seven seasons,...

Should I try to start keeping a blog again?
I have my Tumblr and my LiveJournal, and they’re both useful, but not for writing, really. My Tumblr is super mixed-media and I try really hard not to overflow it with lengthy posts filled with (gasp) words, and my LiveJournal is locked. So I want to try again with something open and conducive to longform writing. I usually end up failing because I’ve limited myself too much. Like, I...

AND THEN, I WILL GET A MANICURIST TO DO IT. goddamn where’s the nail polish remover I can’t paint my own nails at all. My left hand usually ends up looking like a kindergartener’s fingerpainting project. So I pay $15 for the privilege of having a nice manicure for, like, four...

GO RHODY!
The Runnin’ Rams are 10-1 after defeating Drexel 80-79 on the road tonight, Lamonte Ulmer with the tip-in with 1.7 remaining. Now, I love me some Rams basketball. They’re 10-1, so they have the best winning percentage in the conference. But if the past, say, four years are any indication, they’re going to go into conference play with the best winning percentage in the...

And I clearly need a new hobby. I just wrote this comment, very seriously, on a friend’s LiveJournal entry. He recently acquired New Super Mario Bros. Wii and the crux of his entry was that everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom is dumb and hasn’t figured out yet that Bowser isn’t going to give up on kidnapping the Princess. Not only is the Mushroom Kingdom operating under shoddy...

I’m nauseous just thinking about it and watching the little clips. Grant says this is, to him, most disgusting myth they’ve done. I can’t even smell it and I’m inclined to agree. OH GOD EW GET IT OFF MY TV. Grant and Tory have both almost barfed already. Hey, if you’re curious: no, you can’t burn a candle made out of earwax. I’m glad that debate is...
