I’ve discovered, that, at times, the world can be obnoxiously small. I should have known that it would a matter of time before I ran into someone I knew from home. I was afraid that it would happen today (it did), but that didn’t stop me from trying to convince myself that it the similarities [...]

Sometimes I get restless on school nights. It happens frequently this time of year. If you, dear reader, enjoy mathematics or logic, think of it this way: my total amount of motivation (M) is inversely proportional to how much work (W) there is to do. (Translation just in case you hate math and/or logic: the [...]

It seems that every time I decide to go here for dinner, I invariably wind up stuck sitting near a gaggle of preteen chickettes. You know, the ones who are “12 going on 21″, who think it’s fun to go out with their friends and talk on their cell phones with other people the entire [...]

Today was OCD Extravaganza! at la casa de Phil. We’re talking 9 in the morning until 6 in the evening of the most insane cleaning frenzy to which I’ve ever had to bear witness. Much to my surprise, Cruella de Vil didn’t so much as point a finger in my direction. She did, however, spend [...]

It’s easy to forget about some of the perks of living in my current place of residence. I mean, all the drama about broken garage doors, trash, towels, and dishes almost made me forget that the the woman I live with is not only anal retentive, probably bipolar, and obsessive compulsive, but also a lesbian!

A couple of honorary mentions are in order this evening. They should have been in order last night, but we’ll make this vicarious because I was too tired to write anything last night. Here’s why:
Tuesday, 5:15:32 pm: Power in all outlets in the house suddenly and unexpectedly disappears.

I was just cleaning out my pockets and discovered a receipt from a recent purchase. Upon looking at it, I realized that 1.) I could have walked away with more than a penny in change, and 2.) I think someone could be in (or already was) in pretty big trouble with the boss.

After that doozy of a story from my previous entry, I needed a good follow-up. And what’s a better way to follow up something like that than by totally stealing someone else’s idea? The lovely Erin has a history of writing hilarious tales based entirely on Google searches. (“Google Fiction: Searches Incorporated into Brief and [...]

Saturday night was the first night of Pesach (be sure to really annunciate that gargled /ch/ at the end of the word; if you want to say it in English, it’s “Passover”). Given its first night priority, a Seder was in order. I was unable to find a Seder to attend, however. And by “unable [...]

This isn’t exactly what the doctor ordered, but I decided it fit well with the prescription. Let me first say that I’m not what you’d call an avid video gamer. I generally lack interest and/or patience to bother playing them. But there are certain games that were designed with me in mind, and I give [...]
