traded winded
(un)fortunately im not smart enough not to overrate myself or come up with game theory conundrums.

knicked up
wow. i cant believe im getting a major sports update from matt yglesias. scooped again. i dont even have a joke at my own expense. will talk about the trade once ive checked it out. cant say im a stephon marbury fan though.
smellavent
my new neighbors to the north (aka upstairs) have commenced with the unpardonable sin of cooking non-foul smelling items within noseshot. will their treachery never surcease?
dilly dally
one of the powers of the blogosphere which can be used and abused is a collective hammering down on someone in the media for shoddy misuse of their office. it seems this nedra pickler has been the ire of many for some weeks now. i dont doubt that theyve made her somewhat uncomfortable, or at least one would hope.
willing and alba
sure, 2003 was a breakout year for bloggers but we wont truly have made it into the american collective subconscious until some bloggers are featured on Entertainment Tonight. well, that wont be long now as Oliver Willis has announced his secret marriage to hollywood siren Jessica Alba. no word yet on where the happy couple are spending their honeymoon, or whether Alba has been notified of the preceding nuptials. a toast to The Willises, may the annulment be quick and painless. just dont break her heart, O-Dub.
arresting development
im glad to see that Arrested Development has been picked up for next year. ive found the episode to be hit or miss but its still the only new sitcom thats worth watching. actually, i dont think i could name any other new ones. my one wish for the show would be more David Cross. and props to Liza Minnelli, shes actually funny as an actress when shes not being portrayed as a pathetic old diva in the tabloids.but what inspired this post was the news that AD star portia di rossi is dating ringo starrs step daughter. and look, she has scruples. damn her. heres the girlfriends site.

les is less
"The company has begun laying the foundation for the first of four buildings it is putting up on land that has been the target of fierce dissension and the site of failed plans for decades. To be called Avalon Chrystie Place, its 708 apartments will be in buildings scattered across four irregular parcels sitting between East Second Street to the north, Stanton Street to the south, the Bowery to the west and Second Avenue and Chrystie Street to the east. The property, which measures more than three acres, is traversed by East First Street and Houston Street."
