I have been a little behind with my magazines on eBay. So I finally sold a Rolling Stone from June the other day. I tend not to read the magazines that I sell. I am busy, and people can tell they've been thumbed through. However, this article forced me...

Thanks to figuring out that I can make movies with my digital camera, it gives me something to do.I'm sorry. I've been to hundreds of shows in my life. I just can't get it up for a show anymore. But now, I have to focus my energy on holding the camera...

There needs to be a name for this: When gas gets more expensive, mass transit gets more expensive, but not right away. For about six months, fares don't catch up to the increased price in gas, and that six-month window is a great time to get on the train....

My gym is having a sale on multivitamins, and they did not make a good sign for it. It says "Multivitamin sale! 2 for $9.99," but it doesn't say two of what. Obviously, they mean bottles, but I don't know that!So I said to the guy at the front desk that...

A non-native speaker of Spanish should not be coining new terms, but many years ago, I did just that. In Spanish class in high school, I learned that "cesos" was the word for "brain." Well, I already knew that "queso" meant cheese, so it didn't take long...

This is one of my favorite quotes from the '90s. I wish I had saved them up. I would be rich. Instead, my uncopyrighted creativity is on every street corner."The best person to get in an accident with is a raver, because she'll always have the flares...

I hate that I can't use keywords to drive traffic when those keywords are people's names, because then it looks like I am being vindictive. There's just no way around it, so I will just have to suffer.At any rate this is relevant today because I actually...

It's this weekend. Pinball geeks emerge from parents' garages and basements from around the world to strut their stuff in front of other pinball geeks, who have also emerged from parents' garages and basements from around the world.I have written off...

I was in goal for street hockey Monday, and I scored. Sure, the other goalie was a 10-year-old goalie and the other team's forward's daughter, but so what? I scored as a goalie. Sure, the shot was wide and she kicked it in accidentally with the back of...

Genetically engineer some corn so the drugs are inside the kernels. A recent reading excursion reminded me that corn kernels are inpenetrable while running through the intestines. To me, this was an a-ha moment. I could have had heroin in those corn kernels...

My favorite day of the week, except it doesn't happen every week, and some weeks have more exciting things. It's still a wonderful thing, though. Here's hoping I don't break any sticks like I did last time....

We're closing our library tomorrow, and today we are sending off the librarians with cake and cider. I don't understand the logic behind the move, and I don't like trading neat people for cake. There is no good news. It seems that everyone that either...
