Only 8 ticketing days left!
Oh, hey.  So last night, I got a $55 parking ticket for parking my scooter on the 5-foot wide sidewalk next to my local natural foods grocery store. I had stopped in to get one item that I couldn’t find at the grocery store across the street, and had parked on the sidewalk because there are only like 4 parking spots available in this tiny store’s tiny lot, and there was a pickup truck...

So first of all, I have to say that I like the dual benefit that this clearly is providing this cat: Hydration, and a cool, clean scalp. Second, I do believe that if this cat were not a cat (and therefore prone to bungling the entire operation), we could work this buddy pretty seamlessly somewhere into the hit boardgame “Mouse Trap,” somewhere around the 2-minute mark.  Perhaps to...

Iron Man 2 Trailer! →
I must be slipping in my old age!  When did this come out?!  And also, with Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow, how exactly is that Russian accent gonna happen?

Some things never change.
Let the journey begin. It starts with a FREE ISSUE, a FREE TIGER POSTER, and FREE ANIMAL STICKERS. That Tiger has to be dead by now.

Required Reading: Goals on Film →
Blog posts about soccer news, soccer musings, and soccer in general (amazingly called “soccer” here), including eventual, live World Cup blogging, and a Soccer-based Film Festival in 2010!  Not to mention my favorite name since Bilblog Skaggins. Go, Damian, Craig and Chris, Go!!! And I think this is worth revisiting:

Oh! The year seems to be ending: Movies
Here are 5 movies I liked this year (they are numbered, but I think the numbers are just for organizational purposes - ya dig?): 1. “The Cove” -GAAAHH.  If you haven’t seen this yet, just go buy it.  It ranks up there with the greatest documentaries of all time (being “Capturing the Friedmans,” and “Paradise Lost”), but is, I think, possibly better than...

Tough Blove.
I would just like to tell Tumblr that telling me that I’m NOT in the top 50,000 blogs isn’t exactly the morale booster I was looking for in a blog conduit (? I don’t know what the frak these things are called).  But I DO appreciate the extra man-hours it took to make that put-down flowchart. And in case anybody was curious, I’m sandwiched right in between the greatest live...
