som’n tells me that Garmin’s satellite communication goes a little wonky after midnight.   … otherwise, I was really drunk, and just don’t remember it.

(for the record, I walked straight up 9th Ave, across 34th St, and then up 8th to Port Authority.  comparing that to the lunacy of what they’re alleging that I did (apparently I ambled my way through several buildings — through them — occasionally doubling back /walking in circles) … it’s all pretty hilarious to me.

so here’s my question — since a fair number of these people are returning to these same airports a short while later — couldn’t the TSA set up some kind of “temporary storage” service to hold things for people, instead of just blatantly stealing our stuff?

charge us $1 or $2 — I reckon most people would pay, since it’s less than the items will cost to replace — and make money that way, and stop ruining people’s days.  hand out claim numbers like the bag-checks at B&H, and let people pick up their shit when they return home.

and for those that aren’t returning, couldn’t Fed Ex just set up a side booth right in front of security, for people to ship stuff to themselves, that they can’t bear to lose?  (I know there is something similar set up with the USPS — but is there an attendant there, or is it just a machine?  and couldn’t it be set up in a way that doesn’t force folks to completely exit the security line?)

am I being dense?

this tiny asian woman is the Serena Williams-equivalent of Steve Bartman.

(they even kind of look/dress alike, which is frightening.)

Amazon’s selling the Singing in the Rain soundtrack for only $2.99 today.

… this feels like a trap.

A Boston police officer who sent a mass e-mail referring to Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. as a “banana-eating jungle monkey” has apologized, saying he’s not a racist.

“I regret that I used such words,” Barrett told CNN affiliate WCVB-TV. “I have so many friends of every type of culture and race you can name. I am not a racist.”

… are you out of your mind?!

sir — yes, you are a racist.  this is what racism is.  … you are one of them.

oh man.  there goes my love life.

took this thursday night after the fireworks in Chicago.

am I crazy, or does this feel very Seurat-ish?

for some reason, a google search for Mark Sanfords illustrious sweet-nothings produces my tumblr as the the No. 2 result, second only to the Guardian.

… this may finally supplant “tyra banks gif” as my #1 search referral.

my only question though, is — out of every outlet that’s reporting on this —
why would Google decide that the Christian Science Monitor is the go-to source for news on this story?
