1.11.2007 My fucking website is back! I can't believe I forgot to repurchase my domain name. Oh well, at least I managed to buy it back before it became an online gambling site (like my old domain).

1.07.2007 Today, on the subway, a young child sitting across from me pointed me out to his mother and sister as "the guy from the commercial." It was pretty weird. Weirder, though, was the way I reacted--I just shrugged, shook my head, and pretended the child was crazy.

1.05.2007 It sounds like the people on the second floor of our building are having some kind of loud, horrible rave. I wish I'd known about it ahead of time so I could've overdosed on ecstasy and shoved a glowstick through my tongue.

The origin of my favorite nonsensical phrase:
The phrase "the bee's knees", meaning "the height of excellence", became popular in the U.S. in the 1920s, along with "the cat's whiskers" (possibly from the use of these in radio crystal sets), "the cat's pajamas" (pyjamas were still new enough to be daring), and similar phrases which made less sense and didn't endure, including "the snake's hip," "the eel's ankle," and "the elephant's instep."
Amazingly, the first printed reference to the phrase is in an 1922 Ohio newspaper, under the heading "What Does It Mean?"

1.03.2007 HA! Check out the Metafilter response to the sweet-ass "Photo Every Day" video response series! Per usual, the Metafilter audience hates it even though it's great. Even still, I'm glad the thread is getting the attention it deserves.
1.02.2007 I weighed myself today, and it turns out I weigh the same as I did my senior year of high school (165lbs). On the one hand, this is great news, because I've been assuming that I've gained a lot of weight. On the other hand, it isn't great news, because I've been assuming I've gained a lot of weight because my gut is significantly more bulbous than it used to be.
Regardless, I celebrated this new knowledge by eating an entire box of Oreos in one sitting.
