Cripes. Next month’s vacation itinerary: United States: Security threat increased to high (orange) on May 20. United Kingdom: Risk of terrorism. Italy: SARS risk. Singapore: SARS risk. Bloody wonderful. Well, at least the Aussie dollar’s doing pretty well. We travelers take our lives into our own hands, but at least we’ll have a decent exchange…

I just jumped in on an interesting Glitter discussion about anonymity and blogging. As I’ve said here before, I like my visitors to know that I’m a real person with a real name and identity. Sure, this means I have to practice a little self-censorship every now and then, but I feel it’s a worthwhile…

FUN! I just had my first teppanyaki experience tonight. That’s where you all sit around a big grill while a flamboyant Japanese chef cooks your meal and performs as he goes along. It’s like an episode of Iron Chef live in front of you (except without all the naughty Bobby Flay standing-on-chopping-board grandstanding). It was…

Wow. While I deal with Olsen fan freaks, John’s doing the same with Hugh Jackman obsessives. Has AOL just done a big new marketing push or something? There seem to be a lot of clueless weirdos on the Net these days…

Trivia Update: After a two week hiatus, “Six Standard Drinks” made their triumphant return tonight. We won! Personal highlights were knowing all the US States that start with “M” (courtesy of the alphabetical song I learned in elementary school) and that Tom Hulce and Kenny Baker starred together in Amadeus. There was a guaranteed bonus…

Hahahaha… “A Really Horrible Mom & Baby Cat Lamp Yikes.” Indeed. Even funnier than the item itself is the location: Elkhart, Indiana! I nearly spewed iced tea over my keyboard when I read that. Then I had to check to see if it was anybody I know. It’s a small, small world. (Link courtesy of…
