Warehouse 13 – Premiers tomorrow (July 7) on the SciFi Channel SyFy. I always knew South Dakota would be a great location for a science fiction TV series, what with all our silos and cornfields and everything. Any guesses on how many crop circles will show up in Season 1? Seriously, every time I watch [...]

So, the PNC revealed the latest indicators today about just how bad our economy is doing post-subprime mortgage crisis. The costs of the 12 Days of Christmas this year: $78,100 That’s up 4% from last year, which was only $75,122. Mind you, you’re buying some of the items repeatedly (ie. a partridge in a pear [...]

Why do I love Thanksgiving so much? Maybe it has to do with the fact that you get a break from school and chill with a bunch of people and just eat, drink and have a good time. There’s really no gift exchange obligation involved. There’s inevitably leftovers and shopping. Movies are watched and sleep [...]

Why is it that a banana tastes most like a banana when it has turned brown and been squished in your bag? Today was the first snow on Middlebury’s campus.

I really hate that feeling where it is so cold that, when you finally warm up, your skin is completely on fire. Good grief. So, I spent my entire Sunday was spent watching Quidditch.

I was walking across campus carrying ginger tea and listening to the Darjeeling Limited Soundtrack (on my [...]

I have this sudden obsession with Gothic novels. And not Frankenstein or Dracula, but their predecessors. They’re amazing! Plus, it’s an entire genre that deals with entirely messed up material and is not plagued by sequels or Disney. Anyway, my point is that, through researching the genre, I am convinced that we are living in [...]

I usually don’t tell jokes. (I rely on my impeccable wit and incisive cynicism.) But I particularly like this one. So, St. Peter wants to go on vacation and he’s asking God for advice. “What do you think about outer space,” St. Peter asks. “Mmm,” replies God as he shrugs his shoulders. “It’s all right, [...]

So, yesterday morning, I was in between reconciliations at work, and I just happened to go to Reuters (OK, so Reuters is usually open on my computer all day) and I immediately made a little exclamation. My manager’s like “What happened?” To which I replied, in a matter-of-fact yet still incredulous tone, “Karl Rove just [...]
