Yeah, I get what they were trying for…but I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw that slogan on a girl’s tee shirt on the subway in Beijing.
Surfer Dreams Is Wet. Indeed.

I decided to pop into The King tonight and purchase a delicious double cheeseburger. There was a rather large, and, as it turns out, rather surly man in line ahead of us. We walked in right after he ordered, and the girl behind the counter was giving him his tray of food.
The man [...]

Truer words have never been spoken.
This BBC article quotes Time Asia, reporting about a unique new tourist attraction in India. Apparently run (and started?) by one man (Peter Dorje), this “sport” entails going up on a mountain with a bunch of yaks, attaching yourself to a rope and a pulley mechanism, shaking a bucket [...]

Walking down Second Avenue today, and overheard this lovely gem. Three guys were walking down the street, and one of them was apparently regaling the other two with tales of his new girlfriend.
guy: …yeah, but this new girl, she knows what time it is. Right now, everything’s cool, but I told her if [...]

I was looking at news.bbc.co.uk yesterday, as I do pretty much every day at least once, and this headline caught my eye:

Gotta love those cheeky British headline writers…

Riding my bike home from a basketball game, and I saw a guy on rollerblades…probably a teenage kid…just totally fall on his ass.

Tonight I got this email:
–
Hot and beautiful gals….. 2 live shows with FULL chat
Geisha Japaneese gallery….tons on beauties
Movie clips and videos with a HUGE database of
action packed scenes…..behind, upfront, classic, etc…
–
That’s all there was in it. Apparently, they just wanted to inform me that somewhere there exists a HUGE database of action packed scenes, [...]

Last night I was over by Chelsea Piers (this giant sports complex on the Hudson), and two guys were walking by, trying to figure out what to do with their evening.
guy 1: …Naw, man…I’d rather go to the party.
guy 2: Yo, man, but if we hang with those bitches, it’s guaranteed ass!
guy 1: Yeah, [...]

So today they were filming yet another cop drama right outside my apartment building. Now, when you live in Manhattan, you get used to movie sets, but this experience today was particularly annoying.
Basically, movie crews are like roaches here, both in that they are annoying, and in that they are everywhere. and they love [...]
