Make it Rain
Good grief. I don't think a hand-cranked cheese grater is a sophisticated piece of machinery. We went to a place for lunch where they will grate the cheese on your food, and through some feat of legerdemain the waiter managed... Continue reading

Any time you come across a wearable optical illusion is pretty cool.

Thick thighs
I've had my eye on a pair of pants for a while now, and last night I bought them. Marked down from $32 to $27 was a nice bonus too. But sadly they are wrong, wrong, wrong. Gaping wide at the wasit and super tight at the thigh. Going back.
Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself
In the past couple of weeks I have received some weird e-mails. Not spam. "Max" is not that unusual a name but with my surname I can't imagine I share the same name with many people. The other day I... Continue reading

Time to Switch to Bow Ties
Cute Girl at Work: I like your tie. Is it new? Me: Yes, I just bought it this week end. CGAW: You have several spots on it from that orange you were just peeling. I hope they will come out. Continue reading

For Whose Pleasure?
I was going through some old compact discs the other day, most of which I had not listened to for fifteen years or more. One of these was billed as For My Pleasure, by Roxy Music. It fell quite short... Continue reading

Self Awareness? What is That?
Said the 30 year old tattooed girl wearing Chuck Taylors, skinny jeans, and a Hello Kitty t-shirt to her 40 year old co-worker wearing a suit: Is "hipster" just a generic term like "whippersnapper" that you old people use to... Continue reading

Is that a real thing? Pet parents? Ouch.
Commented Feb 25, 2013 on They are not children. at The Peevery
They are not children.
When in our society did people go from being dog and cat owners to "pet parents?" I know that people dress up their pets like children, but aren't those people still deemed as slightly nutty? Yes, I understand that you love your pet, but you are not their parent nor are they your children. Unles...
Read Between the Lines
When I said you could pick what we watch on TV I didn't intend that we should watch the "red carpet before the Oscars". Twenty excruciating minutes of some lady called Kristen who looks like Jeri Blank from Strangers With... Continue reading

Surprise!
Why is there all of this breaking news on the fact that people are just now discovering that Lance Armstrong is a major leage tool? Have all of these people ever interacted with a cyclist? Evidently not. If they had,... Continue reading

Apparently it is a law that the guy who does Gangnam Style must always be referred to as a "Korean rapper". In keeping with the spirit of this law, here are some other notable rappers: Blondie Falco The guy who... Continue reading

Incurable Boredom
I have learned, in a most painful manner, that there are only two types of TV shows on Chinese TV. Dramas about olden times, with emperors and concubines and whatnot. These feature tales of intrigue and betrayal. Dramas about WWII/civil... Continue reading

Driving Me Nuts
My brother is a very nice guy. However, I don't like to ride in the car with him for a couple of reasons. Every time we stop at a red light, he shifts his car into park and sets the... Continue reading

Good grief, I am disappointed to hear this. I always figured that ladies would be more considerate than the guys when it comes to the loo.

The Bad Kind of Sprinkles
I really wish the ladies in my office who don't trust the toilet seat liner to provide sufficient protection would just lift the seat. If you're going to hover, you don't need the seat in place anyway.
Bah. Humbug!
There's plenty of Christmas music playing in our office. This includes many repetitions of these songs that I really don't like: Have a Holly Jolly Christmas Sleigh Ride The Jingle Bell Rock Santa Baby However, one that I have not... Continue reading

I will be glad once this week end has passed because I am hopeful that will bring an end to the nonstop "news" stories on "Black Friday" shopping. When certain family members are famous for lollygagging and showing up whenever... Continue reading

Forty years? or having an ugly zit that can be seen by the wearer without the aid of a mirror?
Commented Nov 16, 2012 on I Am Forty Years OId! at The Peevery
I Am Forty Years OId!
So it does not seem right that I should be able to see a huge zit on my face. Without using a mirror.
