Spreading Some Christmas TV Cheer
You ever thought, “Damnit, I wish I hadn’t missed A Charlie Brown Christmas. My Tivo broke and I’m going to have to heave it out the windo, I’m so pissed. All it had to do was record Charlie freaking Brown! I hate technology!!!” Much like Scrooge and Christmas, you didn’t miss it no matter how many “spirits” visited you last… Read more →
Indexed Does the Holidays
If you’ve never been to Indexed, go now and laugh your ass off. It is essentially a collection of index cards with drawings on them of charts and graphs that are far cooler than what you get to look at in your office meetings.

Janice Dickinson: 12 Days of Terror…er…Christmas
Yeah, THAT Janice Dickinson, the frightening, overly-botoxed, self-proclaimed first American tranny supermodel. He It She sings…if you can call it that. I listened and got the lyrics so you don’t have to go through the pain…and it was painful. You should thank me. Better yet, buy me presents. Fledgling modeling agency. Two giant breasts. Three former husbands. Four Italian suits.… Read more →
Happy Holla-Days!
Over the weekend, K and I had quite the festive time. On Friday night, we went down to 19th Street in the Heights to the Dickens in the Heights holiday celebration. We drank hot chocolate at Cricket’s Creamery, walked in the shops, watched some bellydancers and even met up with good ol’ St. Nick. Mainly, we took a lot of… Read more →
