These Pringles are all smashed! What’s up with that!?

I don’t know how to react to the Jayson Blair story. Part of me says that’s what you get for not fact-checking stories, and part of me says that’s what readers get for believing everything they read just because it’s in The New York Times. Part of me wonders how hard it can possibly be…

This is a joke: There really is an airline called SARS AIR, and this really is their website. (Yeah, that’s an update thanks to Laura… that’s what I get for believing press releases.)

I’m wearing my wizard hat right now.

Life imitates Half Mast.

Remember when a three-blade razor was just a joke on Saturday Night Live (“because you’ll buy anything“). Now it’s Gillette’s most popular business line. Well, here comes the freakin’ four-blade razor. People: YOU ARE CATTLE.

Made a pilgrimage to SFMOMA today… boy, the current exhibits are true disappointments. Paul Klee made some impressive works of art. Unfortunately none of these works were on display today.

The double-decker buses roll around in my neighborhood all the time because of the excellent views from the mountaintop. Once in awhile you can see into the windows and see the faces — usually older people or foreigners, all gazing out at the scenery. I have never seen more bored-looking people in my life.

I enjoyed X-Men 2 (review won’t appear until day before opening, alas), but here’s what bugs me: In the trailer, there’s a scene with Mystique (the blue chick) sliding forward on the ground, through a doorway that’s opening up. This scene is actually in the movie, but it’s played backwards in the trailer! Mystique is…
