Do Not Play This Game

Do not play this game. It is like crack. You will play it a couple times, keep getting better, and then you will realize that in order to get high score you must dedicate your life to the game. And then you will, of course, do just that. Warning. Do not play.

Unicycle Story

Today I saw a guy riding a unicycle. He was an older guy. Thin. Looked like a high school physics teacher. He was riding the unicycle (badly), across a busy street, while carrying his dry cleaning.

I’m Pleased With Slightly Scurrilous News

I’ve taken some time to think it over and decided that I’m very pleased with where we landed on Vanity Fair’s blogopticon. Very newsy. Slightly scurrilous.

I’m Feeling Mean-spirited Today

Phil: M. Night: “If The Happening makes a billion dollars, we will be happy for the producers but I am not going to be loved any more or any less. My movies don’t get acclaim the day they come. I have to wait longer.”
Meg: what
Phil: he’s ahead of his time
Meg: so is diarrhea
Phil: haha
