Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
My phone fell out of my pocket in the driveway. I couldn’t find it when I went looking for it, so I assumed I left it at the store. So my friend backs out of the driveway to go back to the store to get it, and we hear a foreboding thump. It was like hearing my phone die in slow motion.
My screen is completely cracked and the phone is all busted up. Good thing I got suckered into insurance...
I'm at a place called Blue State Coffee, and a guy...
I wonder if he knows that 5% of their profits go to Marriage Equality Rhode Island.
I’ve hit a roadblock in this personal statement, and I’m 400 of a possible 600 words in.
I feel like I’ve said everything I need to say.
Also, this coffee hasn’t entirely kicked in yet.
I don't think it's even remotely ethical that NBC...
My entire family disagrees. Is it just me?

Rex Sorgatz - Mediaite Interview (via msg)

Hmm.. in this scenario, I think that “NewYorkWare” and “this idea is too early” are kind of the same thing. Dodgeball was way too early… not just in the “we all didn’t have smartphones” type of way,...
New challenge
Finding a sports bar in Rhode Island open tonight for Chargers-Titans. I have two fantasy players starting in my fantasy championship matchup, and my parents don’t have NFL Network.
In New Hampshire: Cash-for-Wood-Stove-Clunkers →
Deb Ferguson, a real estate agent who said she burned four cords of wood each winter in her old Tempwood stove, went to a meeting about the program but it left her wary.
“Don’t get me wrong — I love a good coupon,” Ms. Ferguson said, sitting at her kitchen table in a toasty home across from a horse farm. “But there’s too much government bureaucracy around it.”
In particular, she said she...

Lunch can consist purely of banana pudding from Magnolia right?
I only endorse Magnolia’s banana pudding as a breakfast food.
The Amtrak aftermath
The train I would’ve taken home arrived in Westerly at 6:48pm, 4 hours and 53 minutes late.
Which brings up an interesting question, that even I as a high-speed rail booster and transportation aficionado don’t know the answer to: how can Amtrak, with full control of its rails on the Northeast Corridor, not accurately predict the arrival times of its trains? It knows where its trains...

Fantasy Football, so far
I’m up 105-86. I’ve still got the fourth quarter for Adrian Peterson, and Kevin Boss tomorrow at Washington. Boss has 6 TDs in as many games, and had a pretty good showing for a Tight End last week against Philly.
My opponent has Steve Smith (WR-NYG) tomorrow, who had 82 yards receiving and no TD catches in the Giants’ last game against the Skins. If the Steve Smith who...

A new Time Warner ad attacks Verizon FIOS for...
So, apparently, Time Warner prefers that you not have the opportunity to watch a show in HD that you might have missed three hours ago.
It's snowing!
Told you so.

Is Johnny Damon smiling, Scott?
(via inothernews)
Considering he sold his soul to move from a championship team to their most hated rival solely for more money, I’d say… yes, Johnny Damon is smiling.
My meteorological credentials:
- I have eyes.
- I have a window I can look out.
