I used to get NFL Network, I’m still paying the same monthly amount and now I don’t get NFL Network; what’s up with that?
For years the Broncos’ special teams have been for shit, but today definitely marked a new low.
The airport is decidedly less crazy than I thought it would be.
To spend an evening drinking in Bukowski’s, on the other hand, is quite worthwhile.
It’s less of an accomplishment than the proprietors would have you believe to spend an afternoon drinking in “America’s Oldest Tavern”.
There are some amazing bookstores in Cambridge.
I can’t believe that my brother only owns one bath towel.
Yeah, that’s right, I’m the guy going to a Korean restaurant for dinner on Thanksgiving.
Quick flight, though. From gate to gate took no more than 50 minutes.
The downside: this is one small-ass plane.
Man, the airport is really dead today. Unfortunately, the same will probably not hold true on Sunday.
Going to Monk’s tonight.
Migraines are bad news.
@cederber Uh…there was supposed to be a plus sign in there between “iPhone” and “really”.
@cederber Yep. iPhone really lame pre-preview ads = Twitter time.
Waiting for No Country for Old Men to start.

shonk: Season 3: done. I guess now I’ll have to start doing math again.
shonk: Enjoying Season 3 of The Wire thus far. I understand the motivation for the focus of Season 2, but I’m still glad we’re off longshoremen.
shonk: Love it when all the problems I have to grade are problems I already did when I took this class two years ago.
shonk: Finally buckled down and did some serious shopping today.

shonk: If you ever go to La Terrasse in Philadelphia, don’t order more than one espresso drink at a time unless you want to be there all week.

“[T]he only companies that join consortia are the ones who are too stupid or shitty to make a great product on their own. It’s like, Hey, we’ve got forty spazzo companies that can’t fuck their way out of a paper bag; let’s put them all together and maybe they’ll magically become some kind of big bad powerhouse.”
shonk: Not so impressed with Inquisitor 3.0(v49), which breaks most of my other Safari plugins by renaming ~/Library/InputManagers
shonk: Very impressed so far with Papers 1.5, aside from the annoying bug where switching between metadata fields scrolls the PDF to the beginning.

Classic 1987 article about failed proofs of the Poincaré conjecture.
shonk: Going to Quizzo tonight for the first time in quite a while.
shonk: Updating software today: Papers, Inquisitor and Twitterrific.
shonk: Why did the NFL have a first-year ref working the Patriots-Colts game yesterday? Biggest game of the year and it was very poorly officiated.
shonk: Being a lazy sack of shit also sucks.
shonk: Standard time sucks.
shonk: Tumblr is acting funny with feeds.
