Isn't it a little strange that the winners of each day of the Tour de France receive a stuffed animal? I don't get it. Flowers? Sure. But a stuffed lion?

I also don't hate Ryan Seacrest or Carson Daly.

New York LOVES a Good Samaritan.
So far this year we've had the guy who jumped onto the subway tracks to rescue someone having a seizure and was run over by the train
And
A couple of guys that saved a toddler that fell five stories from a fire escape

This new Google Blogger thing so far has sucked total dick. I can't see any of my posts! This gets a Godzilla sized "WTF"?!?!?!
I like this about Godzilla since it asks the question which I think makes sense which is "What does Godzilla eat?".
This Godzilla essay has been popular recently.

You know who I think is unfairly shit talked? Chuck Klosterman.
People have been saying that I've been letting the blog languish. It's true. I've just had nothing to say.
Went to a job interview the other day and the guy interviewing me said "You're not really supposed to say your boss is cheap on a job interview." I told him "Look, he didn't pay to get the office cleaned for two years. He's cheap. What do you want me to say?". Yes, professional to the end, that is Joshua G. Reynolds!
Today was Ash Wednesday. Lots of ashes on foreheads. Do people even do this on the west coast?

I went to a focus group last night. I've done these a few times. I did one for Uniqlo and another one for lottery gaming. The lottery gaming one was weird actually. I'd never actually met people who seemed to have a problem with the whole "scratch off" theory or complaining that there was just too much to scratch off. Forget it if there was any sort of rule besides match that image with this one. "Way too complicated!"
The one I went for last night was for the Scientific American web site. I even had to do some homework for it which is really above and beyond what is usually asked. Anyway, most of the people in the group were fine but there was one gentleman who I totally hated. He talked constantly and had an incredibly annoying laugh. He was so bad that the moderator eventually had to tell him to take it easy. He would be asked things like "Do you like this page layout?" and then start out with some shit like "This reminds me of the metaphor where..." and then he'd go on and on boring the hell out of everyone. I had a pad of paper on it and kept writing things down like "Shut up. Shut up. Shut up" over and over. We had to turn these in at the end.
Afterwards, I took the subway with another guy from the group who said "I couldn't help but notice that you looked like you were in physical pain every time that guy Jacob said something. Especially when you put the paper totally over your face.". This sort of made me feel bad since I'm sure it was totally obvious to him that I thought he was an incredibly grating.
