  • More SF wedding photos

    More gorgeous wedding photos from San Francisco. (I went through them all but I didn’t spot the ND girls anywhere.)

  • Gary Trudeau rocks

    You know, I was never a huge fan of Doonesbury before, but I friggin’ love that Gary Trudeau has offered a $10,000 reward to anybody that can definitely prove that Dubya showed up for his National Guard duty in 1972. Somehow I think the money’s safe.

  • Ron’s new splash page

    Ron has an excellent new splash page. [I’d like to take this opportunity to reassure my family that I was NOT KIDDING when I said that they all had to register to vote and vote AGAINST BUSH if they ever wanted me to move back to America and get married and have babies. I mean…

  • Sushi Boats!

    The Snook and I had to head back to our old neighborhood Newtown this morning and we noticed a new restaurant: Sushi Boat! As far as I can tell, it’s just like a sushi train except the food floats on little boats in a channel. (It sounds like that crappy duck game we used to…
