My man at A Day in the Life Of slayed me with this video find of Idol reject singing KEN LEEEEE. I can never listen to this Mariah Carey song the same way ever again. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNQLmHKlmiE]
I want her to cover other songs. Or rather Ai wan er tooo cohver uder sungs.
On this day in 2003, a massive blackout rolled across the Northeast resulting in one of the most memorable and dramatic 24 hour periods in the life of MRod.
- The law firm making us wait over an hour before letting us go home. Bastards.
- Walking down 40+ flights of stairs.
- Spending all my cash on 1 dollar pints at the Irish bar next door to my apartment in midtown.
- Scrounging through my coins and my (gone) roommate's coins so I could get enough money to buy food.
- Wishing my coworker good luck on his journey at midnight to try to find his way home to Long Island.
Feel free to share your story if you were (un)lucky to live through that experience.
[Thanks Paul for the reminder!]
Update: Cool! The Village Voice picked up on this entry!
WILCO!!!
If you are unfamiliar with this band then take a listen to this song by them titled "Someone Else's Song."
Shut up, yes. I've had a Tumblr account for a bit.
This photo I took weirds me out.
Arguably the most comprehensive list of nicknames and slang for the vajayjay. Some readers have a sensitive sensibility, hence password protected. Anyway here's the list. [Via]
This reads like something from my life. Haha.
Damn you, Borders. Damn you. All I wanted to do was to shelve indie books while wearing my cords and birkenstocks. Damn you.
My roommate Kate was doing some serious housecleaning and de-cluttering today. I contributed by taking photos of things that she was throwing out, including this cool clay figure that she built:
It was also raining outside:
This application for iPhones, which costs $1000, serves no purpose other than to demonstrate the buyer's ability to flush a thousand dollars down the drain.
The app does nothing but display a red ruby; tapping a miniature i in the corner will load a secret mantra enabling you to "stay rich, healthy, and successful."
Alas the "value" in some sense of this application should increase since Apple has since removed it, unjustly in mine and others' opinion, from their App Store.

My friend Clay sent me this photo that he snapped with the comment that "this is the gayest/most awesome photo i've ever taken."
I had to look at it for a few seconds before I picked up on why this is the gayest/most awesome photo ever. I got the awesome part right away.
I mean, dinosaurs! Awesome! Dino Rampage? FUCKING Awesome.
Gay? Ohhhh. Yup. Totally gay, like in gay pride gay.
Thanks Clay!
I'm holding off on purchasing a new macbook, and a strong motivation for the delay other than the almighty dollar is mac buyer's remorse: a month after my theoretical purchase, Apple will release a brand new revolutionary macbook. Anyway, Wired's Cult of Mac has photos of what is purported to be the next macbook. Color me ipod white skeptical, but the touchpad seems ginormous (that's what she said?).

Hardee har har.
Many know that over the years, especially in the old cheesy TV series Batman writers intentionally and unintentionally included double entendres lines and scenes, such as this hysterical one that Boing Boing points out:
And from the comments, although clearly photoshopped, it's still sophomorically hilarious:
I finally received my new New York State driver's license after saying good bye to my Alaska one. I look like an extra from the upcoming Dragonball Z movie in my new license photo.
