Italy seems to be suffering from a terrible outbreak of tart grapes. I’d like to refuse to renew their contract in FIFA, but unfortunately I don’t have that kind of pull.

Fast announced today that they dethroned Google as the world’s largest search engine. With exactly 2,095,568,809 documents to Google’s 2,073,418,204, they’ve got a 22,150,605 document lead, which seems pretty tenuous considering it’s only 1% of the size of their index.

Weblogs are apparently giving a voice to Iranian women. If you can read farsi, or at least translate it, there’s quite a few to read. I’d be interested to see what they’re saying, but I don’t have time to enter the characters one by one. Somebody should solve that language barrier problem.

Research shows: when making decisions, flip a coin for the best results. When trying to predict the “least popular” outcome, such as choosing a quiet bar, picking the most fashionably rare clothes, or buying a house when the market is down, people tend to fare badly.

The largest fire in Colorado’s history has been pinned on a U.S. Forest Service employee. To my knowledge, the only other man convicted of such a crime is the immortal Johnny Cash. If convicted, this Terry Brown woman will be joining quite a club.

Be prepeared: I’m coming to NYC. Leaving this Friday, I’ll be joining the jet set crowd and their swank city lifestyle for at least a month. If you live there, let’s get together sometime. If you don’t, then come visit me. I’m shaking with excitement. No, fear. No, definitely excitement.

I feel like I’m in boot camp (or my first year of college): Monday morning, fifa until 5am, go to sleep. Wake up at 7:30am, fifa until 9:30am, go to sleep. Wake up at 2pm and conduct normal life. Stay up until 1am, go to sleep. Tuesday morning, wake up at 7:30am, fifa until 9:30am,Continue reading “World Cup action got me down”

So I went to the dermatologist for the first time in many years last week. As a descendant of pasty, germanic countries, I’m somewhat prone to moles, freckles, and so on, which puts me in a risk group for skin cancer and blah di blah. Anyway, I’m supposed to go see someone every few years.Continue reading “Skin: the most embarassing organ of the body”
