CNN.com - Wait a sec for leap into 2006 - Dec 25, 2005

feel like you need just a little more of 2005, well you got it. the leap second being added to the clocks this year.

Bittersweets NY

This company designs some interesting jewelry. This is my favorite piece.

John Malkovich shop online

umm, John Malkovich is also a fashion designer. I actually like some of the blazers and coats. He should have a designer challenge versus Diddy. That’s right, I like Sean John designs…

Crazy woman gets a restraining order against David Letterman

This is a complete misuse of the legal system. How the hell did this get in front of a judge? How does the restraining order get passed? I don’t know a ton about criminal procedure in New Mexico, but doesn’t there have to be SOME proof? Come on!

BTW, in case you don’t feel like clicking the link, some crazy lady got a restraining order against Dave Letterman in New Mexico.

ordering him to not only stay nine feet away from local resident Colleen Nestler, but to no longer, as she puts it, “think of me, and release me from his mental harassment and hammering.”

This woman has claimed that Letterman is expressing his desire for her through code words, signals and eye gestures. One such code word? Oprah, as in “Marry me, Oprah.”

The Chappelle Theory

I LOVE a good conspiracy theory. This one is great. I hope it’s true. The title of the post is, of course, a reference to the Julia Roberts-Mel Gibson vehicle “Conspiracy Theory.”

CNN.com - College Board mulls length of SAT - Dec 16, 2005

Seriously, I understand there’s a whole new section than when I took the exam, but I still think the youth of today are being coddled. Is there really a need to make the SAT shorter? Are the kids of today that sensitive that they require this?

DCist: Is Chinatown It?

I’d have to second the protest against the B&T comment. NoVa residents are worlds better than the NYC B&T crowd. NYC B&T types are WAAAY meatheadier than NoVa residents. I mean, B&T’s in NYC are from Jersey and Long Island, for christ’s sake! That’s where meatheads are born. NoVa residents are generally intelligent people who work jobs that require good educations. Do they make the same choices you make? No, not always. But are they all greasy-fake-tan-tribal-tattoo-in-from-Nassau-County-To-mate B&T shitheads? No. Not even close.

And besides, if you want to find some real Grade-A B&T, take a look at GWU. And last time I checked, that was in the District.

this is a comment from an article on dcist that asks if Chinatown is the new hip neighborhood in DC for going out. without getting into the argument (truth be told, I have no idea where the cool hip places are), this comment is so great. Lots of ppl try to compare DC to NYC. and the B&T descriptor for the ppl in NoVA and MD (fwiw, I live in NoVA currently, but if I could afford it, I’d live in DC probably) is used with some frequency. But being a gwu alum I totally agree with the gwu assessment, the B&T population there is HUGE. So many people are like “I’m from NYC” and they’re not even from one of the 5 boroughs. so great.

CNN.com - Man searches fields, trash bins for lottery ticket - Dec 8, 2005

Would you keep it? I don’t know. Partially scratched off signature… $25k…. Actually my first instinct would be to give it back, but then greed would kick in. But I also always give back extra change when I get it.

Remember when bands didn’t really let their music to be used for all kinds of crazy marketing? Or even regular marketing? It’s not really selling out as the industry goes now, but I just saw a TV commercial for “King Kong” and was annoyed to hear Coldplay’s “Fix You,” which I really like, used in the commercial… grr.

Rory Blyth - Neopoleon.com

personally I would just buy a 1080p (even though there’s no real support for it)… hahaha, yeah right, i can’t even afford to buy a damn cup o noodles for lunch these days… ah the life of a licensed attorney….

“I was saying, ‘Can I please get one shot off?”’ asked Bonzi Wells, who scored 16 points. “I was almost hoping Shaq played. (Mourning) is an excellent defender.”

haha, Zo’s playing out of his mind defense right now (and serviceable offense) and Shaq is on the downside of his career and defensively he’s a bit limited, but this is a funny quote. This is what Bonzi said after Zo posted 7 blocks in the Kings’ loss to the Heat.
