Another Five Miles in Los Angeles

August 8, 2011

Okay, I don’t mean to sound like a broken record here, but I’m pretty proud of running fifteen miles last week. I did another five-miler right around sunset on Saturday night. At this point I’m going to do some research into the chances of a digital watch reporting time incorrectly, because I shaved almost a [...]

Five (More) Miles in Los Angeles

August 5, 2011

Even though I was still sore as hell from my run Tuesday night, I somehow managed to knock out another five mile run last night. I ran my standard “local loop”, which is east on Olympic to Beverwill, then south to Pico, and then west to Westwood back to Olympic. I almost thought that there [...]

Five Miles in Los Angeles

August 3, 2011

Last night I decided that I needed to get my butt in gear and start taking care of myself. I haven’t exercised in almost three months and it had been almost a year since I went for a run. So I grabbed my Nikes and my iPod Nano and hit the pavement. The heat wave [...]

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness

July 4, 2011

With the exception of my senior year of high school — when I was out of my mind with piss, vinegar, and hormones — I spent every childhood 4th of July in Bristol, Rhode Island with my dad. My son is (astonishingly) ten months old now and I have spent most of the day wondering [...]

Our DVR Schedule

May 25, 2011

The DirecTV HD DVR in the master bedroom suffered some wacky hard drive failure a few weeks ago so we had to have it replaced. Before the guy came to swap it for a new one, I used my iPhone to photograph our scheduled program priority list so I’d be able to rebuild it on [...]

Daily David

Declaration 1776 sells Revolutionary t-shirts celebrating the origins of our nation. (*These are badass.) I used the free version for about a month and last night finally decided it was time to cough up the $3.00/mo for my Instapaper subscription. “What’s Instapaper, David?” It’s only one of the most brilliant apps EVAH! Basically it lets [...]

Contains Quinine

May 3, 2011

Because I’m a man that enjoys a good G&T, I occasionally find myself buying bottles of tonic water. The chances of me ever pouring myself a glass of simply tonic water are only slightly higher than the chances of me ever pouring myself a glass of creamed yak milk. I’d never drink the T without [...]

Feed a Fever, Starve a Cold

April 29, 2011

I’m confident that’s the way the saying goes. If it was, “Feed a cold, starve a fever,” it wouldn’t have the alliteration and would be a bitch to remember, so I must be correct. I suppose I could Google it. But that’s not the point. The point is that I’ve been under the weather this [...]

Spoons and Forks

April 18, 2011

For some reason I have an irrational distaste for tablespoons. I don’t know why this is the case. They just seem too big to me, and there’s something pretentious about them. (Who needs to put that much of anything in his mouth all at once?) I’m a teaspoon man and probably always will be. On [...]
