Came across this in supermarket tonight. Very disappointing. Back when I was your age, we had proper cereal mascots. And they taught us about exclusion (Lucky the Leprechaun, Trix Rabbit, Flinstones, Sonny the Cuckoo Bird). King Vitamin looks WAY to happy and inclusive to me.

This is easily the fanciest salad I've ever made myself. 10 for taste. 4 for looks.

Did I ever tell you why the lettuce blushed?

He saw the salad dressing...

This is a photo of my friend Craig. Taken at Gary Darwin's Magic Club at Boomers.

The #1 FUNNIEST BENCH in the WORLD. Came across this in Bucktown, Chicago. The best, best, best part is that the slogan is, Because when you do one thing, you do it right.

Last night I played poker across from former Enron CEO Kenneth Lay. The thing is, Lay has been dead for a few years now.... I guess what I'm trying to say is that the guy across the table from me last night looked just like Ken Lay. (First pick is of player, second is of Lay).

On Saturday night I saw my roommate Ally’s friend Tala perform in Matt Goss’s new lounge show at the Palms. (She's one of the "Dirty Virgin" dancers.) Coolest lounge show I’ve ever seen—easily. But not so cool that I’d feel uncomfortable bringing my parents; this is a show for everyone.

Special kudos to whoever did Goss’s musical arraignments. The two guitarists, bassist, keyboardist, 3 horns (sax, trumpet/flugelhorn, trombone) and two female backup singers filled up the sound at virtually every moment of Goss’s hour-long set (but not obtrusively. In the Dave Matthewsian way that makes you feel like you got your money’s worth.( Oh, except for the one break during which Goss sang a slow song at the piano. (I saw the show with four of my roommate’s female friends and oh how they loved this part….)

Okay, I wasn't REALLY evicted from Town Square...but I did get my first cover story in Las Vegas Weekly. I'm really proud of this, 1) cause I think the piece came out well (thanks to all who helped, by the way! lots and lots of you on this one...), and 2) cause Las Vegas Weekly is such an awesome publication. Its the only magazine that I read nearly front to back/look forward to reading every week. (And I was reading it several months before I started writing for it.) So, yeah, it feels cool to be part of something bigger than yourself that you're really proud of. (Hmmm....I think the last time I got this feeling was in Negotiations class, when we had this team assignment, and my team really, really kicked ass....the Prof was almost embarrassed for the other team... Okay, you can read the story by clicking HERE!

Anybody else going to pick it up today? I'm very, very excited to read it. Big Angels & Demons fan. Hmmm....let's see if I can read and review it in one week. I will try my best, but keep in mind, it's a 500-pager.

Okay...here I go...turning to page 1!

Couple quick notes on the pics. Pic 2) This was not a camera effect; this is how the digital picture came out. The point is, Elliott is Neo.
Pic 3) Right after we took this, a guard told us "No pictures in the exhibit." Yeah, then why did the artist make such a photogenic piece of art--huh?

These pics were all taken in Prof. Weissenberger's basement. The first is of his psychic bird Henry.  Thanks to Julie for the photos!
