It’s true. The price of having a cool phone that can do a lot of stuff is that you have to control how much stuff you want to let it do on its own lest it runs itself out of energy. I’ve actually been having pretty good battery life recently, but for some reason yesterday [...]
While I was in Boston for PAX East I overheard this group of teenagers (at least I think they were teenagers, I think once I’m old enough everyone college age and under I’m just going to refer to as teenagers). This girl said just this, that her boyfriend broke up with me and she was [...]
It’s funny, but you see a lot of parents who really manage to just carry that baby stroller down the stairs by themselves and you don’t really think about it. But when you actually help out to carry one you forget that kids actually can be fairly heavy. Or maybe it was just me getting [...]
Turns out closing windows doesn’t drown out the sound of playing kids that much. I also blame the fact that I still have my a/c in the window, but it still felt funny to close all the windows and notice no change in sound level.
Yep, 100% true. I was on the street, used the s-word in front of an infant when I saw a near accident, and then proceeded to walk behind the father and his kid all the way to my apartment building. I even slowed so that he wouldn’t have to see me going into the building [...]
Actually it was a kid young enough to be in a carriage, but I was having trouble drawing a baby carriage. Yes, I did publicly say the s-word in front of this child after seeing a near collision on the street. Then in what felt like slow motion I looked over at the baby and [...]
If I’m not mistaken today is the first day of school. My new apartment is right next door to a middle school which means at 8:00 AM I hear kids playing basketball outside my building and yes, one kid seems to enjoy constantly yelling “OH MY GOD!!!” I have no idea what the hell could [...]
I was on the subway amidst several teenagers, one girl was talking about failing her SATs. I didn’t hear what she said after that but it’s not like the SATs are something you can technically fail. Yeah you can just get a REALLY LOW SCORE but it’s not failing per se. Before I did this [...]
This is without a doubt THE MOST AWKWARD subway ride I’ve EVER had. A dad was in the subway with his nine year-old daughter and her younger brother. They were standing/sitting opposite each other in the rather crowded subway car. I hit most of the highlights here, but she kept on going on and on [...]
Thanks to M.M. for this story. Yes, there’s at least one person out there (I’m guessing more unfortunately) who want to see the new Star Trek movie because they think the actor playing Kirk looks hot. I’ll see it, but the more I think about that movie the more it seems like a joke. Like, [...]
