I first discovered M.I.A. in one of my mens’ magazines 2 or 3 years ago. Corny, I know. It is actually kind of pathetic, the high percentage of my limited pop culture knowledge that is pulled from those tabloid rags.

She was loving every second of it. I have to admit that I am a pretty avid Weezer fan myself. Highlights: -Weezer opened with My … Continue reading Weezer Show→
It was ideal weather to be dressed up in an inflatable nylon chicken suit this morning. When I was moving the car around 6:30 this morning, it was downright brisk. I brought a cardigan with me today, just in case. I guess that yesterday Autumnal Equinox made it official, and mother nature is complying. Returning … Continue reading Giant chicken spotted at WTC PATH station→
This picture was taken earlier this week of our new little Avocado tree. It is now almost as tall as the other plant in the pot. See how much it has grown in one week! It looks like of the anxiety surrounding the start up of the CERN Hadron Collider was all for naught. However, … Continue reading Avocado tree update (and others)→
