Good gravy, i haven’t posted or forever. It’s the end of November and I have decided that I’d like to resurrect my blog – make it mine again and make this extension of myself alive again. Make it a part of me again. As such, I’m going to dedicate the time to post at least […]

You know, there are a lot of things that go on in your head when you’re unemployed and the rug has been pulled out from under you. I’m currently going through a really bad stretch (I guess you could say that, yes, it did get worse?!) and I’ve been contemplating my next steps. As I’ve […]

If you ask people to describe me it sometimes seems like two completely different people are being described. Some people think I’m always crabby or angry and that I don’t like anything; others would say that I’m always happy, kind and generous. It really isn’t hard to see why some people would find me aloof, […]

Let me preface this by stating that, yes, I’m getting older, my memory is fading and I’m probably slowly losing my hearing. All the things that make me attractive to the opposite sex, no? Let me also toss out there that I am absolutely terrible with remembering song lyrics. More often than not if I’m […]

Oh, man. There are few things that drive me bonkers than those online quizzes that people take on Facebook. It isn’t the fact that someone is smarter than me, is a better Star Wars character or would be in a better clan in Game of Thrones. It is the one simple fact that I DON’T […]

2014 has rolled around and I, for one, was completely ill prepared for it. Time is rushing by just like…um…some really trite metaphor for the quick passage of time. Hmmm. I think you can see why I haven’t updated this site for a while. My creative juices have evaporated to the point where all that’s […]

Part 1 of this post from a few months ago can be found here. You know, because it takes 3 months for me to get my train of thought back. Train of thought, get it? I’m still working in downtown DC and I’m still taking the train. This form of mass transit is one of […]

Remember The Fun Theory? It is a Volkswagen initiative to get people to think of ways to change people’s behavior for the better. I haven’t been to that site for a while but I always thought ‘Damn, Volkswagen sure does have some interesting marketing campaigns.’ For them it’s a win-win: people find inventive ways to […]

The American Kennel Club classifies the Working Group dogs as Dogs of the Working Group were bred to perform such jobs as guarding property, pulling sleds and performing water rescues. They have been invaluable assets to man throughout the ages. The Doberman Pinscher, Siberian Husky and Great Dane are included in this Group, to name …

None. Ok, maybe that answer was too simplistic. But after thinking the entire thing through that was my final answer. For the past two posts I’ve considered how many 5 year olds I could best and the number of zombies I could conquer. With this installment we’re examining an enemy that has a significant advantage […]

After my last post which I questioned the number of 5 year old children I’d be able take on I found myself mulling over the solutions regarding the impending zombie horde. At least six people who read my last post asked me about the number of zombies I’d be able to take on. I, in […]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhYFh4k5wWk Did you watch the above clip? Amazing finish for the George Mason Patriots, no? Until the last minute or so they never had a lead. Do you know why? I’ll give you a hint: [15:37] Jen: UNBELIEVABLE [15:38] Me: I WOULDN’T KNOW [15:38] Me: [My Boss] PRESSED THE BOSS BUTTON WITH 30 SECONDS LEFT […]

Halloween is almost upon us and it reminds me of the fact that I miss Thanksgiving. I don’t think that I was the first person to notice that Halloween decorations came out in August and Christmas gear came out in September. SEPTEMBER. Thanksgiving has been relegated to only one tiny corner in the Hallmark stores, […]

I was online with Clare today and we started discussing video games. She was telling me how she & Travis hook up online and play Capcom’s Resident Evil 5. This is the horror video game that takes place in Africa Clare: Oh its TOTAL freak out Me: *shudder* Clare: but Clare: ill do for you […]

Tuesday I spent Tuesday sitting through meetings, consuming anything that had caffeine and coordinating schedules with Matt. After his bar ninja routine from the previous night I thought that he’d be ready to completely run roughshod over Philadelphia. Luckily, that wasn’t the case. Still feeling the effects of, uh, being lame, Matt wanted to keep […]

I’m sitting here at my desk after having just returned from the symposium that I went to in Philadelphia. As many people who are participants of conferences know – work in the day, party at night. This was no exception. And, as we all know, I’m somehow a magnet for both a good time as […]

I adore Olivia Munn (Wikipedia, imdb). She’s the kind of woman you’d like to just hang out with, drink a few beers, tell a few fart jokes and possibly get into a bar fight with. She’s good looking but not the unapproachable type. What’s even better is that she’s so down to earth. Who cares […]

As I write this I’m waiting for my friend Amber to mosey up so we can watch a baseball game. I’m in Atlanta and we’re getting together to catch up on things. The problem with this entire setup is that I’m directionally challenged. I’m lucky I don’t get lost walking from my backyard to my […]

I love my iPhone. I know that there are haters out there who are all sorts of anti-Apple but, come on, you sort of have to get over it. In terms of design Apple has done a lot to revolutionize our concept of user interfaces as well as interacting with our devices. For instance, there […]

So, we finally have it: The McG directed video with Kirsten Dunst, Akihabara Majokko Princess. Warning, this may not be suitable for children and may be NSFW – there are 2D boobies drawn a lot of places: [flv]http://heyitcouldbeworse.com/media/Akihabara_Majokko_Princess_-__Kirsten_Dunst.flv[/flv] I lamented the fact that she was doing this a while ago Kirsten Dunst is REALLY trying […]

The last Peanuts strip from Charles M. Shulz (a.k.a. Sparky) –

If you ever get the chance, read the really, really old Peanuts strips from when it was first started.

I saw this online on a site called The Beer Goggler and I must say that I was pretty impressed. This isn’t the first time that paint has been used as a swimsuit in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. I always find it amazing how detailed these paintings can get. I really think it’s great […]

Congrats to the New Orleans Saints for winning the Super Bowl. You have proven that you are the best at the sport alternatively known as North American Hand Egg. Evidently, calling the sport of ‘football’ something more literal like ‘hand egg’ makes everyone else around the world happier. It was an exciting game, filled with […]

At first I was going to play off badbart’s comment in The Last Air Bender post until I realized that he said ‘Star Destroyers’. This, of course, meant the gigantic, triangular battleships in the Star Wars saga. When I first read his comment I thought he was talking about the American version of Space Battleship […]

Let’s get a few things out in the open before I talk about this film. I admit that I am going into this movie ‘blind’ because I haven’t seen the cartoon that this is based on, “Avatar: The Last Air Bender”, which aired on Nickelodeon. The fact that it aired on Nickelodeon was one of […]

Because it sucks. When I first heard of that Jay Leno was going to be moved to a 10pm time slot I was underwhelmed. I hadn’t watched ‘The Tonight Show with Jay Leno’ for years. I really couldn’t stand Jay Leno because he always seemed like a pompous, arrogant host.  After tuning into last nights […]
