This is not a man with a blog.
I know you’re not surprised to see that I’m reviewing a book in the zombie genre, you already know my love of the shambling undead. What you probably don’t know is just how good this book is, and how I really think you should read it even if you only have a passing fancy for…
Can someone explain to me why Rep. Foley is checking into an alcohol rehab center when his real problem is that he’s a pedophile? (That’s rhetorical, don’t answer) I think it’s actually probably a pretty good tactic to confess to a lesser evil. When someone says you’re a pedophile, say "No, I’m an alcoholic!". I…
Did you know that Subway sells breakfast sandwiches? Did you ever notice there’s never a line in a store in the morning to get one? Do you want to know why? Because they suck. It’s not bad enough that it’s a pre-processed egg unit on a plain tortilla, but the franchise at 15th and K…
"Wait, they don’t love you like I love you" The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, "Maps" from the album "Fever to tell" This song is so heartbreakingly simple that it’s embarassing to tell you how obsessed I am with it.
At our doctor’s urging, we just got around to forcing Moishe to sleep in his crib all night. There was a modicum of crying, but not what you’d expect. Our actions won’t have him in therapy for years during teenagehood, nor will he have abandonment issues because he had to sleep alone. I think the…
Full Tilt Poker recently introduced CAP games. These games are interesting and require a different sort of aggression style. Let me set the scene: in a $.50/$1 no limit texas hold’em cap game, nobody may bet more than $30 into the pot. Once that happens you are considered all in and you can’t win or…
I am slightly hesitant to make this comparison, but I think I just read the "Howl" of the 9/11 generation. Generation is probably an incorrect word, as several generations have been affected by 9/11, but I think it’s fair to say that the book I just finished, "Can’t Get No", by Rick Veitch is by…
Katie and I hadn’t hung out for a while, so we decided to try a new free NL Hold’em tourney circuit. There are several of these in the Washington area now, all focused in bars. On a good night they play two tournaments with 15 minute levels starting at 25-50 with 2,600 in chips. So…
So I just got back from what was nearly a dream week. Sarah rented a beachhouse in Brigantine, right next to Atlantic City, and we piled ourselves, Moishe, and the nanny into the mommy-wagon and headed out for a week. Sarah had just returned from Burning Man, so she was still having re-entry problems, but…
Another hurricane and I find myself driving through the bad weather up I-95.Thank god the nanny’s in the backseat entertaining Moishe. This could still get ugly.
