resolve
onelessminivan:
I’m not into resolutions. I just try to live for myself and my family as best I can and not hurt anybody else in the process. How about you? Planning to lose 10lbs and quit smoking? Or gain 10lbs and start smoking? OLM is headed down to Florida tomorrow for a few days. See y’all in 2012.

magazine subscriptions
I think I want to subscribe to a few magazines this year and am trying to decide which ones. This is where magazines being on Tumblr and Twitter is working - I might get the Atlantic and Mother Jones and my awareness of these two mags is due entirely to social media.
Any other thoughts for long form journalism that might be worth getting in my mail box?

Here’s the thing - two days later, I’m still thinking about this movie. Roger Ebert had the best review that I’ve seen so far, but he’s a recovering alcoholic and he knows a drunk when he sees one.

How annoyed would it be to be the guy who’s “bad proposal” led to your fiance starting a proposal planning company?

Watch The first time I called another girl fat, I was in third grade. During Spanish lesson everyone stood up and sat if they didn’t match the word I said. Chica. Morena. Ojos de azules. Camisa roja.
With two girls left, the teacher asked, “Flaca o gorda.” My mom pulled me from Spanish class and I didn’t take it again until high school, the same year I was called fat for the first time.
I was a...

Twas the night before Chanukah and all through the bar, The Jews were arriving, some even by car. The champagne was popped by the waiter with care, In hopes that the matchmaker, soon would be there.
The potatoes were nestled, still snug at the store, And family obligations could wait one day more. When Josh in his pea coat and Rob in his cap, rushed into the bar from an after work nap.
