Yes, it's the meme that won't ever die:
A Special Thank You
Thank you to The Seventh Sense's senior beauty pageant correspondent, Heather, for gracing the website with pictures of hot girls. I fear they will overtake the rest of this site in terms of popularity. But so what?
‘Sup With The Lack of Blogging Lately?
Oh, a show. Work. Life. Burnout. All that. Plus, not a lot to say that is particularly insightful. Haiti was bad, but I guess everyone knew that. Scott Brown being elected to the U.S. Senate was bad, but not as bad as everyone made it out to be. He's a liberal Republican from Massachusetts, which is on a par with … Read More
The 12 Days of Christmas
This is technically a timely post, since we are still in the 12 Days of Christmas. Today is in fact the 12th Day, because the star appeared above the manger on Christmas Eve and it took the three magi twelve days to follow it and arrive at the manger and who the hell cares? Anyway, for "The Sing-Off" fans, here's … Read More
“I’m Freezing To Death”
With the cold snap hitting most of the country, you're likely to hear that phrase. But if you want to know what it is really like to freeze to death, read here. It's horrifying. Not at all like the supposedly "pleasant" experience of drowning. An excerpt: As you sink back into the snow, shaken, your heat begins to drain away … Read More
The Perfect Woman
Here she is…. Who is she? Ahhh… wouldn't you like to know. The truth is, she doesn't exist. She's a composite. Here's a simple composite — you blend Angelina Jolie with Anne Hathway to create a third woman (below): And what if you kept doing this…. and then blended the composites? And then blended those composites? You end up … Read More
When Tiger Woods Needs Brit Hume’s Advice…
The Tiger Woods story, as I've often said, isn't a news story. It certainly doesn't warrent a panel discussion on a Sunday morning "news" channel. And it certainly doesn't require commentary like that offered by Brit Hume, who said this weekend that Tiger Woods isn't going to be made whole until he rejects his religion and accepts the correct religion … Read More
The Seventh Sense’s Annual* Best-of-the-Decade Awards
BEST TV SHOW: The West Wing. Good dialogue, funny, serious, rich charactors. It suffered and got inconsistent when Sorkin left, but overall, it's run was no longer or shorter than it needed to be. BEST MOVIE: Lord of the Rings Trilogy. No, I'm not a rabid fan, but I think these movies were simply the most entertaining of the oughts. … Read More
Top Ten Things That I’m Looking Forward To Seeing In 2010
(10) The media trying to tear down some icon, and failing miserably. "Sully" Sullenberg is my guess. (9) Sarah Palin trying to be taken seriously as a political thinker now that she's had some time to crack a few books on the current issues of the day. (8) The 2004 Red Sox. Not the same guys of course. Just the … Read More
Top Ten Things of 2009 That I Would Like NOT To See in 2010 Thankyouverymuch
(10) People getting rewarded for doing bad jobs. I'm talking mainly Wall Street executives and people who run their company into the ground, then get bailed out by taxpayers, and then get huge bonuses as part of their executive compensation package (9) People who cannot deal with the fact that Obama is President. The birth certificate thing has played itself out. … Read More
Ricky Gervais Scares Elmo?
This is one of the best things I've read on the Intertubes in a while. Basically, it is an article on a parenting website called Parentdish. The author focuses on a Sesame Street skit in which Ricky Gervais appears at Elmo's bedside to sing him a lullaby. Read the article, watch the video, and then read the comments. Here.
They Would Have Died That Day, But Instead….
…. they found each other. Awwwwww: While waiting in La Guardia airport for his flight back home to Charlotte, North Carolina, on January 15, 2009, Ben Bostic happened to notice Laura Zych, a chic, pretty brunette. She ended up on the same plane, but not the same row. “I would have totally forgotten about it,” he said later, “if it … Read More
The Decade… In Icons
Courtesy of the New York Times Click to embiggen: RELATED: Paul Krugman writes the only interesting decade retrospective that I've read to date. His basic thrust is that the decade, for all it's ups and downs, amounted to a big nothing: [F]rom an economic point of view, I’d suggest that we call the decade past the Big Zero. It was a … Read More
Merry Christmas
Light blogging continues through the holiday season. I'll be travelling — totally stalkable here (although not ALL the time). Proud of the Bubs.
