Seeing all the news coverage of the latest “pandemic” makes me want to just stop watching TV or listening to the radio. It’s just too much. Photos of people wearing masks to work… parents pulling their kids out of school… schools in Texas closing… even the President and Vice-President are adding to the flames. So …

I Hate Checking E-mail
I can’t put my finger on why, but I cringe whenever I open my e-mail. I’m not sure why I react this way. I rarely check my non-work e-mail, and when I do, I never look forward to seeing how many e-mails I have in my inbox. Sometimes when I have to send an email, …
I Drink Tap Water
I have a confession to make. I drink tap water… not even filtered tap… I mean straight from the bacteria-laden, germ-swimming, prescription drug-filled municipal water source. When I tell people this, they make faces as if I had just told them that I eat fresh cow paddies… “you mean, you don’t even use a filter …
Pulse: Daylight “Savings”
With savings rates so low, I think I’ll skip daylight savings this year and instead buy something with my daylight.
Saving Up for Daylight Savings
In this current economic climate, and the fact that Daylight Savings time is coming up, I thought that a brief refresher course on how to save up for Daylight Savings time would be in order. Since everyone will be losing an hour of sleep this coming Sunday morning, here’s what I propose you do this …
Welcome Home, Son-vant!
Is it just me or does every child of immigrant parents come home for the holidays to a list of tasks to take care of before they get to go back home? I’d swear that my parents actually queue up errands for me to do for months before my arrival. This is an actual list …
(Forgot to Add a Title)
I just wrote a xanga entry that was going to be the xanga entry of all xanga entries… it was going to get a thousand recs and double as many e-props… people were going to have debates in the comments section that in themselves were going to be doctoral dissertations… but it was on a non-premium …
Pulse: “Skinny” Jeans
My “skinny” jeans are a pair I got when I was at my heaviest. Now I need a belt or they’ll fall off, so I feel skinny… is that cheating?
If All Commercials Were Like Campaign Ads
I truly hate watching TV or listening to the radio the month prior to a major election. The negative campaign ads are not just ludicrously misleading but they also prey on uninformed people’s worst fears. But apparently they’re effective. So why not extend this into other advertising? I think it might go something like this… …

Office Survivor
I used to watch shows like “Survivorman” and “Man vs. Wild” on the Discovery Channel and thought… “when am I ever going to need any of this information?” I mean, I’m sure the frozen tundra of northern Canada is nice, but I don’t think I’d vacation there… much less have my dog sled team get lost there. …
