I’ve had a few thoughts this week, none that warranted an entire blog entry so I bundled them up today.<\/p>\n
– I’ve been listening to Harry Belafonte’s Greatest Hits after catching Beetlejuice on TNT, which features two songs by the Caribbean crooner. Really good stuff.<\/p>\n
– Based on the theory of the interconnectivity of all things, a bowl of All-Bran every morning can improve your outlook AND Global Warming.<\/p>\n
– You know from the age of 13 until about 26, I really liked to smash things if there were no negative consequences and I didn’t really always think about the consequences. I can see why people enlist.<\/p>\n
– I’m back on the crossword bug now that I commute. Tommy Maddox was an answer yesterday. If I were him I would frame it as his best accomplishment. Aw, Tommy, we still love you in the ‘Burgh.<\/p>\n
– I just realized that Anne Hathaway, the actress (who I only know as someone who is famous for wearing thin clothing for flash pictures, just Google her to see what I mean, NSFW), and Shakespeare’s older wife who was in today’s crossword have the same name. That’s annoying. <\/p>\n
– Yesterday, over 1 million people in New York City in response to the frigid temperatures made the joke, “You know, I kinda like Global Warming.” Please do what you can so it is not 1 million and 1 today.<\/p>\n

\n– A great Flickr photoset of old NYC storefronts<\/a>, including two of my favorites, the Subway Inn and Rudy’s<\/a>.
\n– I’m secretly into American Idol. I just hate people who sing, so I like seeing people who really think they can sing finding out they can’t. I keep tabs on the show at the American Midol Blog<\/a>.
\n– The notorious graffiti tagger “backfat” was arrested<\/a> and hopefully will go to jail. “Backfat is slang that refers to the rolls of fat caused by an ill-fitting bra, particularly on someone who is overweight.”
\n– Via Fark<\/a>, how to drive some who has an HDTV nuts<\/a>. My fianc\u00e9e does this.
\n– And let me be one of many to say, the future of the Steelers looks Grimm<\/a>. Hee.<\/p>\n
