I’ve been watching a lot of tv. Soon I’ll have movie reviews for the majority of movies that I’ve watched in the past couple weeks. Be prepared to read my thoughts on great movies such as Revenge of the Nerds and Revenge of the Nerds 2. For now, here’s the worst things […]

Finally, the pictures are here. Of course they don’t give you raw images. Instead I have a cd with an application that I don’t really understand how to use. Here’s the first couple that appear to show the torn acl.

Last week I made my triumphant return to soccer. I’ve been itching to play for a long time now. For those of you keeping score, I tore my groin on July 17th. So it has been three and a half months since I had even touched a soccer ball.
Aside from being exhausted 10 minutes […]

In my mad rush to get to the airport for Las Vegas, someone bumped into me pretty hard with their luggage. I didn’t realize how bad it was until I got out of the subway to catch the AirTrain. My phone looked like this:

I immediately recognized it as a cracked LCD, but attempted to turn […]
