Woman Hit, Killed By Metrobus in VA
Driving home from work yesterday, I saw this accident right around Seven Corners… I was exactly where that tow truck is (in the background of the picture), going west on Route 7, stopped in traffic and with a full view of the dead woman lying there…(Nakiko Pennell, 64, of Falls Church) a [...]
Fig Newtons & Cleocatra
Arrested Dev Season 2 is out on DVD, and TV.COM has posted a bunch of extras from the DVD on it’s website. Llegal? Dunno… but very entertaining.
It PAYS to be homeless… thanks to the Fresh Prince and his new movie, “Pursuit of Happyness” (it IS spelled that way)
It’s unfortunate that too much of a [...]
columbus schmolumbus
Props to those that have to work today — I share your pain.
The ‘Skins NEARLY had the Broncos last night.. in soaking wet Denver. Bah.
I need the Chargers to win tonight — go SD!
I was not so active on Saturday, as two months worth of rain fell in the DC area… but I [...]

The challenge is that each [...]
who IS that guy?
While Carrie was watching “Sex and the City” last night (i happened to be in the room watching it with her as well)— this episode.
…there was an actor that played Miranda’s “doctor” boyfriend… it was killing me that I could not place what he was from… and I just found it… so everyone [...]
bahblahblah: attorney at law
Here’s a show that doesn’t need to be on DVD but is: “Dr. 90210″ - Coming Sept 27. Has anyone seen that pile of garbage? Boy, do I hate that guy. He’s so smarmy. Look up “smarmy” in the dictionary and you’ll see a picture of him sitting on a pile of money flicking [...]
rip it out of my tail-ons
Continuing on with the topic of “commercials” that are obnoxious (I’m sure you’ve all heard by now, those horrendous NBC “fake-DJ-morning show” commercials that drive me insane) but next up on the list is the commercial for Pacino (and McConnaughhhgey’s) new flick “Two For the Money” where in one particular clip, Pacino has [...]
orange line live
Before the Nats game on Sunday, I had a chance for a brief celebrity interview at the Virginia Square-GMU station — on Orange Line Radio. These are the things I do to entertain annoy my girlfriend.
The equipment used was my pack-of-gum-sized MP3 player/FM Radio/Voice Recorder from Sandisk — 512MB on this little guy..and it goes [...]
this guy knows funny
Saturday night, C & I saw Jeffrey Ross do stand-up at the Lisner Auditorium — to a surprisingly half-filled theater..maybe about 500 people or so.
The opening act was so not funny — he was just doing ‘fat-mom’ jokes and jokes about the mentally-disabled — kind of awkward and sad to watch. The the second [...]
