I trust you're all recovering/resting/relaxing today. Whether you welcomed 2012 with a quiet night at home alongside family and friends, or joined some raucous, drunken celebration at a house/club/bar, I'm sure it was a great time. If you must know about my night, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Considering New Years last year was probably the [...]

• Have you ever wondered why time flies when you're older? No? Okay, then there's no reason for you to read the next few sentences. If this is something you wonder about, scientists are here to help. They say it has a lot to do with "firsts." That is to say, you can recall your first kiss or your first summer vacation much more clearly than your last. Our memories apparently contain more information and details from first times than any other times. As we repeat experiences as adults, we stores information differently. We are "embroidering a bank [...]

It's Sunday again, and as per usual, nothing exciting is happening anywhere in the world. People sleep late and hope they can relax for a few hours before the new work week begins. Meanwhile, I've reached the exact middle of my own work week, so I'm way closer to my next weekend than you are! Ha! In trying to write an introductory paragraph, I asked Ilya what topic I should pontificiate on. He said "cupcakes," then giggled softly. "Cupcakes are really what's in right now," he said, and giggled some more. Yup, I know what Ilya did all [...]

This guy embodies how I feel all the time... If any of you actually pay attention to my self-centered ramblings, you might remember my 105/1001 list, which I post at the beginning of 2008. I'm challenging myself to reach at least 105 goals in 1,001 days. One of the goals I set for myself was to go an entire week without spending a penny. I even considered pitching the idea to some magazines. In times of economic uncertainty, people love to reading about ways to go an entire week without spending a single penny. [...]
Dear Yum! Brands & Pizza Hut, Last evening (Thursday May 29th, 2008) I had a very upsetting experience involving one of your franchise's locations in Los Angeles, California. I feel it is my responsibility to inform you about what happened, and I will try to do so as objectively as possible. For your consideration: Allow me to set the scene. A small group of clean-cut, polite, Caucasian twentysomethings have gathered to watch the season finale of their favorite television program ( LOST , airs Thursdays at 9:00pm EST - 10:00pm PST on ABC). The consensus opinion [...]
MSN and Men's Health have teamed up to create a list of "18 Things A Grown Man Should Never Have" . And I think I could do better. Much better. I am, after all, the purveyor of one of the Internet's leading Top Ten-centric websites. Why I haven't received offers from various mainstream magazines to pen original Top (blank) lists is beyond me. I'm, like, the voice of a generation. But like any wunderkind, my work won't be appreciated until long after I've expired. Also, I could never work for a mainstream magazine, because I've got integrity. [...]

Why am I so, so tired? As I write this I have just awoken from a mini-slumber. Earlier tonight I tried watching The Polar Express with Nicci to officially usher in the Christmas season, but unfortunately I could not keep my eyes open, and missed the majority of the animated holiday magic. Not only that, I decided to venture up to the garage with Ilya and others for a brief session, completely shirking my mix tape duties, so this has all been thrown together with alarming speed. Hopefully it doesn't totally suck, you'll understand my somnolence, and give [...]

Boy did I get drunk last night. Bear Republic Big Bear Black Stout, you are no longer my friend, no matter how deliciously alcoholic you might be. There was a period of time when I found myself "falling asleep" (blacking out?) on a pillow-covered floor for one or two minutes at a time. I don't remember stretches of conversation that occurred between myself and the person with whom I was hanging out, but I can always pretend my cognitions were fascinating and insightful. Now here's the music! RULES for uninitiated noobs : With 100MB of webspace, [...]

This week's Friday Top Ten is actually being presented on a Friday. After last week's mishap, I have vowed to never embarrass myself like that again. "How do you know it's Friday?" You might be asking. Well, I know this because each day between now and the 30th is one less day I have to find a new place to live. This small fact has made me pay very close attention to exactly what day it is, and the amount of hours I have remaining to find a new domicile (the correct answer as of writing this sentence: 370).
