If they actually constructed a whole, workable Super Mario Brothers world where you could hit boxes, collect coins, jump into pipes, climb vines and beat up turtles, wouldn’t that be the ultimate playground for people from our generation?

As a newly-minted working stiff, I can say that this watch pretty much mimics by life from Monday to Friday.
I like how the afternoon lull between 4-5 pm is in there, along with happy hour, and bumming out in front of the TV.

Who’s done now? 5 straight US Opens and his 13th Grand Slam. I don’t fault Federer for losing the French again (that’s Nadal’s surface), and the Wimbledon final was one for the ages, but also one that could have gone either way. Who knows what would have happened if the sun didn’t set.
And don’t tell me that this Grand Slam isn’t legit because he didn’t play Nadal in the final. He still went through Djokovic and beat the guy who sent Nadal home. The surface is still too fast for Nadal, as is the Australian. And Wimbledon is going to be a toss-up between them. So he still has a better at winner Slams going forward than Nadal.
This was my get-up for Cleaning Day — Doraemon apron, yellow gloves, mask and froggie shower cap. I had to clean Winnie’s apartment today, for losing the bet that we made 3 years ago after Rob & Nancy’s Wedding. The bet was on how many of our friends would get married between that day and Chuck and Catherine’s wedding (3 years). I bet on 0-1, and she bet on 2-3, 4 and above was a tie. The final number was 2 (Drew and Andy)…thanks Andy. That fast-track proposal after 8 months of dating did me in!
Fresh off my loss, I decided to make another bet with Winnie…on the next 3 years. This time, we threw Ian, Raf and Debra into the mix to keep the # of candidates at 15. Winnie bet on 0-4, 5 is a tie, and I bet on 6 and above. Notice has been served! You all have to get my back!
Guys (8): me, Will, Larry, Jeff, Ian, Raf, Marshall, Yugi
Girls (7): Debra, Jen, Wendy, Elaine, Hsin, Felice, Linda
Btw, here are the results from my SUPERCOMPUTER, with my assessment of your risk of getting married:
High: me, Raf, Yugi, Debra, Wendy, Elaine, Felice
Medium: Ian, Marshall, Jen, Linda
Low: Will, Larry, Hsin

Healthy Boy’s girlfriend hopelessly addicted to a certain CW television series. Cheers to Netflix! What’s a healthy boy to do but helplessly follow along? Will this take D and E’s relationship to the next level?
Only time will tell.

Watched Tropic Thunder this weekend. It was 2 hours of pure, fun ridiculousness, but with lines like this — “I’m like a little boy, holding his dick when he’s nervous”, who could complain?
There were plenty of GREAT cameos, Ben Stiller was his consistent funny self, Robert Downey Jr. was awesome, and thankfully, there was a manageable dose of Jack Black.
Here’s my running good/bad movie tally:
Good:
Tropic Thunder
The Dark Knight
Be Kind, Rewind
Inside Man
Get Smart
Wall-E
Bad:
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
The Happening
Blueberry Nights
Hilarious post! THe one that really, really bugs me is “Hey big guy” for the reason that Ian points out…you’re really smaller than the greetor and the idea is that they’ve decided to take pity on you and are doing you a favor by “stroking your ego”
The Tripod+1 blog is off to a smashing start!
Tripod+1 now has an official Tripod+1 blog. We fully expect that no one will understand what the hell we’re talking about, but that’s half the fun!
Tripod+1’s deeeeee bloooooooooooooooooooog
Note to Tumblr: We’ll transition this blog over to Tumblr when the group blog functionality makes an ounce of sense.
