  • Patty and I had sushi at Takahashi last night. I used to go there all the time, and I have no idea how we've been together so long without me suggesting we go there. I guess it's easy to be out of sight out of mind about restaurants in New York. Anyway, it was very nice.

  • Oh shit, Yuletide!

  • We just about managed to remain conscious through John Stewart and the beginning of Colbert. I hate when it feels like these are the only guys saying what needs to be said. Newsflash: working between Christmas and New Year's doesn't disrespect Jesus. Second: the Republicans better not use the 9/11-blah-blah-blah strategy EVER again. My disgust level is so high.

  • Hey, I don't use it, but if you do: Del.icio.us is going away at a yet to be determined point (the team got fired yesterday) and you should backup or transfer your bookmarks.

  • Sarah Dopp has begun fundraising to launch the Gender Playful marketplace. Her being able to launch this platform would improve a lot of lives.

  • 'Tis the season: Okay, so there's this guy Paul that I went to high school with. He's a freelance opera and classical music journalist and also a geek and has a blog. Where he just posted Dune filk of the Hallelujah Chorus.

  • Headline much more interesting than article: UFO shot down over a nuclear powerplant in the Negev. Seriously the link to this on CNN's homepage says "UFO." Fuckers.

  • Scathing: "Mark Twain’s autobiography, embargoed at his request for 100 years and now a best seller, is a powerful argument for writers’ burning their papers."

  • In France: Civil unions gain favor over marriage.

  • The fuck? The guy who is about to become the head of the House's Homeland Security Comittee says that Muslim radicalization will be a focus of inquiry as Muslim groups aren't cooperating enough. Really? The last time a Muslim group turned in someone they thought was a terrorist, it turned out to be an FBI plant. Fuck you, dude.

  • Not an American concern: something really anti-Semitic that Kissinger said in 1973 comes back to haunt us all.

  • FIFA apologizes for warning about gay sex, but it doesn't really solve the problem, does it?

  • Reports of assaults at US military academies are up 64%
  • First Blake Edwards and now Captain Beefheart?
