“We had an intern, of course, but I believe the name was Greg or Craig”
I absolutely loved the Onion’s article this week: “Summer Intern Already Forgotten.” Last Friday was one of the intern’s last days… apparently internships are only three weeks… needless to say, I won’t be remembering him.

Japanarama Monday: Unmarried Brother wants you to embrace your inner fashion geek
Unmarried Brother wanted me to pass on this article. Basically, it’s tips on how to dress like a Japanese geek here in America. How do you say “just what I was looking for” in Japanese? The secret is apparently mixing in cheap pieces from Uniqlo with your favorite Japanese geeked out anime shirts and… if [...]

Japanarama Monday: Sweaty Japanese Office Workers on the Rise
So in an effort to curb global warming and save on energy bills… most Japanese offices (and all government offices) are kept at 82.4 degrees resulting in sweaty, smelly employees: Japan has eagerly embraced technology and practices that will reduce emissions and combat global warming. It invented hybrid vehicles, has extensive mass-transit systems, and uses [...]

Not everybody was happy for me
I broke 1,000 followers on Twitter today, but someone was a total snot about it… what can you expect from someone who actually cheated at Scrabulous?! Paul: by the way who the f**k has 1,000 followers on twitter? (that hasn’t shown their cooch while getting out of a limo). me: gosh, i wouldn’t know a [...]

Yes, fine, that was me you read about in the “Monocacy Monocle”
So at Boots’ polo bachelorette, I found time to stop and give an interview. Normally, I try and limit my interactions with the press, but, well, I was bored and muddy and willing to say yes. I’m featured prominently under Michael Johns from American Idol fame… a position I’m very happy to be in again.* [...]

Nothing like Twitter to give you a healthy dose of reality: And no disrespect to Farrah, but she and Michael are NOT in the same league. Hat tip to Mike for my favorite Tweet EVER.

A tribute to MJ
And a little bit to Liz, my favorite MJ fan — and my MJ singalong partner in crime: Is this my favorite MJ song? No. Is this MJ’s best? No. Do I LOVE it? YES! No one did key changes like Michael.

Anyway, apparently his amazing son had the genius idea of: BAKING A CHOCOLATE COOKIE BOWL AND FILLING IT WITH A SUNDAE. I can only hope that one day my child makes me as proud [...]
