I'll tumble 4 ya...
Over drinks with Happycap and Bianca this afternoon, we thought someone should start a tumblr service offering to blog for someone else who just doesn’t have the time even for short-form blogging. Some person who wants a cool on-line presence but just can’t find the time would pay top money and you’d have a ready-made jingle for you business venture…

34 hours and counting...
It’s 9pm. I’ve been awake since about 11am yesterday. For no reason at all. Sure, I finished up a few things and that felt nice. But now? I’m still awake. I still have things I could be doing but it involves packing and I’m saving that for tomorrow because I hate having boxes around for longer than a couple of days. So here I sit. In the dark. Wide awake.
I think I should...

Spray before you lay
Just when you thought they couldn’t improve condoms, they have.
New technology has allowed scientists from the Condom Consultancy in Germany to invent a new spray on condom!!!!
Wow!
The spray on condom will work by pumping liquid latex on the penis and then allowing it to dry.
The new condom will be the “perfect fit” and ready to use in about 20-25 seconds.
Removal of the condom will work...

– Rain, by Madonna. I like Boston rain. In last week’s downpour, someone asked to buy my umbrella. I said, “Sure, $30.” He laughed and said no. I kept walking. What did he think? I’d give it to him for $5 and stand in the store’s awning, like him, for the weather to pass?...

processed foods (should) keep inflation down
dihard:
Food inflation is all the rage in the news these days. But here’s something I learned today. Only 2% of the price of processed foods goes to the farmer. In that box of cereal I ate the morning, the actual grain in the box is only two percent of the total value. Well, in Canada at least, where this picture is from (click for larger size).
That’s why Canada and the US have seen such low...

Gay Couples Find Marriage Is a Mixed Bag →
Still, some couples find few significant advantages. Many employers offered health insurance to domestic partners. State taxes can be higher for some couples, and the lack of federal recognition of gay marriage makes lucrative benefits — Social Security, federal tax breaks — off limits.
Another Reason to Avoid Wal*Mart: Police Detention →
I was detained by the police today and accused of stealing. I was also illegally detained against my will by several Wal*Mart employees preceding the detention by police. My crime?

I love watching my dog do something - attempt to fluff a blanket by scratching at it before he lays down, chew at the hair between his toes, or stare out the window thinking up his next escape plan - only to have him look up and see me watching him. He instantly has this face that screams, “WHAT are you looking at?!” He’ll stare at me a bit longer before he huffs and resumes his...
