An arm with a tattoo: "I was made for the library, not the classroom."

Last week we went to check out an apartment in a friend's building but there were only studios available, or at least so they said. Disappointed, we headed over to pick up the kids and on the way, saw a for rent sign in the window of a building on the Grand Councourse, half a block from the train station. Barely in the mood, we called for the hell of it and somebody answered. Five minutes later, we were on the fourth floor, checking out a corner 2BR with lots of closets, hardwood floors and a kitchen straight out of…

Monday, Monday... Have some stuff from the weekend to write about but I'll hold off as whoever's reading this today is likely only here for one thing: my take on tonight's Finals. First, how's it going to work? It's a tricky balance of testing the poets' stamina while ensuring an entertaining show for the audience. Five rounds of poetry for a total of 36 poems! That's rough! To make the team, you need a total of six strong poems, five for tonight plus the one from semi-finals that cannot be repeated. This is mainly to avoid the one-to-three-poem wonders that…

Ok, I lied. Quick fix! Ed Garcia is THE man! The CD (5 PAST 13) is going to be ready for Monday night's show and it's purely because he busted his ass to get it done. The mastering, the design, the production...hell, he even ordered the track list! (I'm #13.) Fuck collectivism, it takes individuals with the drive and determination to get things done. All committees do is talk and obstruct progress. Is it obvious that I'm not looking foward to the collective meeting at the end of the month? Going to take a lot of convincing to get me…

Your Daily Horoscope for May 09, 2003 Dear Guy, Although you are usually an outgoing person, you could feel a little shy right now. It might be more comfortable for you to sit back and to be an observer, Guy. You could find it interesting to watch and to listen. Sometimes you are so busy expressing yourself that you miss out on little events that are happening around you. Be a silent witness today. You could learn something fascinating about the people and situations that surround you. Hold your tongue and open your ears. Considering I've got a ton of…

from Astronet: Leo is Fire to the core! Fire brings a desire to create, innovate, and lead. The sign radiates mega-confidence. Of course, the Lion must have an audience. Without applause, what else is there? The fixed motivation adds self-reliance, a characteristic that works well in leadership positions. Leo is a formative energy, with the ability to consolidate and stabilize. Fire can rage out of control, so it helps to balance self-confidence with humility! Leo needs to become a humble but lovable lion. The playfulness associated with Leo can regress to childish demands for attention, as opposed to healthy recognition…

(Who's watching) (Tell me who's watching) (Who's watching me) I'm just an average man with an average life I work from nine to five, hey hell, I pay the price All I want is to be left alone in my average home But why do I always feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone, and I always feel like somebody's watching me And I have no privacy (oh oh oh) I always feel like somebody's watching me Tell me, is it just a dream... Somebody's Watching Me, Rockwell, 1984 So I installed this Site Meter thing a couple of days…

Smallville is the best dramatic adaptation of a comic book to ever appear on TV. Don't hate, appreciate. Just started watching it again a few weeks ago after missing the latter half of the first season and the first half of this season and what they've managed to develop over that time makes for one of the most engaging shows out there. The overlay of teen angst and trials of adolescence breathes a life into the Superman mythos that has never been present in its other incarnations. I'd always found him one of the most boring comic book characters out…
