Due to my frantic schedule of the last few days (in the city early until late for three straight days) I've been reduced to one of those horrible list bloggers. Deal.

*eHarmony is very, very interesting. I've had a lot more "success" there than the other sites. Details later, but next week could be even busier than normal. I'm afraid of the jinx, though.

*Remember the old days when we (okay, I and some dork-based friends) spent hours trying to decipher exactly what Michael Stipe was saying ("what the hell does 'Katie bar the kitchen door' mean?"). Well, I sort of miss those days. Their new single "Leaving New York" really speaks to me in ways that I'll not go into now. However, when I read the liner notes of the album and saw that the bit I heard as...

it's easier to leave than to be left behind
leaving was never my prob'
leaving new york never easy
i saw the life fading out

was really "leaving is never my proud" I sorta shook my head. Yes, it rhymes better. It's also stupid.

*I want to start wearing a hat. My grandfather always wears a hat and I think he's a better man for it. What style of hat should I adopt as my own?

*Cosi is no longer even remotely edible. But Zen Palate, on the other hand, remains super yummy.

*Extra inning games when I have to get up early suck. Nonetheless, I'm not missing a single inning of any of these series. They're all superbly interesting.

*I could have used one of these at my old place of employ.

*Remember in the veep debates when Dick said "you can go to factcheck.com" regarding the Haliburton allegations? Well, super Dem billionaire George Soros bought the domain. Apparently he was talking about Factcheck.org? Well, that's hardly a pro-Dick site, either.

(Oops. Soros doesn't own it, but the owners decided to redirect their traffic to him)
