You didn't miss that much

These are some of the topics I thought about posting on but was too lazy to write up:

* I crashed my old company's 60th anniversary party at Morton's and had some free lamb chops and bourbon -- but was secretly disappointed I wasn't thrown out.

* "24" put an Elisha Cuthbert scene in a distinctive house that is very, very frequently used as a porn set.

* I think the two main things in life that I don't want are cancer and responsibility. Not necessarily in that order.

* Living in one of the best food towns in America, I've been able to avoid eating in crappy chain restaurants for more than a decade. I spend one lousy day in the suburbs, and I end up patronizing a TGI Friday's AND a Bennigans. A trip to Chili's would have given me the insipid trifecta.

* Traditionally the purest definition of irony is "the firehouse burning down." I now have a better one: "Getting blown by a woman wearing an abstinence bracelet." Apparently her niece had given it to her, and she put it on to be nice.

I still love the view out my window

Not everyone agrees, but I still prefer my urban scenery to "nature". This is my nature, this is my environment, this is where I live.

That is so not right

Well, that backfired

So the Phillies signed Rudy Seanez. He's one of those relief pitchers who bounces from team to team. When I saw the signing hit the wire, I thought to myself, "Man, how old is that fucker? Seems like he's been around forever." So I went to baseball-reference.com, checked his birthdate, and ... oh. He's exactly my age.

Son of a bitch.
