Good Grief!

Having a weblog is great because you get to be a self-proclaimed expert on any topic. That’s right—it’s all about being a micro journalist and fighting The Man. You better watch out, The Man, because there’s a bunch of people with laptops and broadband connections who are gonna bring you down.
I’m a uniter, […]

My friends are getting married in, like, six minutes, and my little ghetto car is sitting in traffic on the Schuylkill Expressway somewhere between Gladwyne and Conshohocken. It’s pouring rain, and there are police cars speeding up the shoulder, presumably headed to the scene of some gridlock-causing accident.
What to do, what to do. […]

End-of-week list:

Related to Tuesday’s hotness discussion: check out Hot Olympians, a link provided by Sassy J, the token heterosexual in her office.
Not to sound all Philly sports fan or anything, but…the Phillies. Triple play? 1-9 home stand? WTF? Seriously—WTF?
Three weeks until vacation. Should I abandon the weblog? Solicit reader […]

A recent NPR piece on John Kerry’s stump speech gave me an idea for saving enough time to read all those books: a stump weblog entry. Instead of writing something completely new each day, I’ll simply fire up the template, fill in a few key phrases, and voil&agrave! The stump format […]

He volunteered us for another experiment. In fact, he told a fellow boss that I am “a great tester—thorough and sneaky,” which I’ll take as a compliment.
I cannot reveal the nature of this experiment, which is super top secret, but it gives me the opportunity to break things. I take this responsibility seriously, […]

Having grown up in a small town and settled in the big city, I’m a fan those WTF? moments afforded by both places. I suppose the suburbs also have their quirks, but it’s hard to spot the characters when people are cocooned in their cars and no one hangs out on the front porch.
Don’t […]

Last week, I took a picture of Clair, Good Grief! (male) reader and resident cynic, and declared him hot. Now everyone wants to get in on the action. Is Clair really hot? Can I be hot? What determines hotness, anyway?
Sassy J, reader and art historian, is proposing a “men of Good […]

My mojo is missing, so I’m doing a list. Look at the pretty pictures:

Tintil’s pictures keep getting better and better. This one reminded me that it’s been almost five years since the last time I went to London and stalked my former Shakespeare professor.
Ropeboy took some great photographs of the Golden Gate bridge.
Mark […]

Boss-across-the-hall: I got the last glue stick from the supply closet!
Me: We have glue sticks in the supply closet?
Boss-across-the-hall: Not anymore!
I’ve never needed a glue stick at this job, but if boss-across-the-hall has one, then I want one too. It’s very quiet over there. The door is halfway shut, but […]
