Last night, The Daily Show‘s “Senior Mumbai Bureau Chief” Aasif Mandvi’s sketch on the Richard Gere incident was lackluster at best. It just wasn’t that funny. Here’s my pause ‘n play analysis. Incidentally, if you haven’t watched it yet, go ahead and do so. Then come back here for the fun-alysis. Play First, Jon Stewart [...]

  I should apologize for the sudden infrequency in posting on this blog. Life sometimes (hard as it may be to believe) gets in the way of one’s blogging. But fear not, because I’ll be trying to get stuff up here every now and then. Just not as frequently as I used to. And don’t [...]

Goddamn! Running on Thursdays is a bloody pain. So, the RX Geek and me are training for the SF Marathon coming up at the end of July. We’re using this training schedule. We didn’t choose that particular one for any special reason other than that it was easy to find, was well-suited for beginners (it’s [...]

Walking to the library this morning, having passed by this place a hundred times, the irony of naming a real estate agency ‘Marx Realty’ finally dawned on me. I don’t know if Comrade Karl would have approved of the goings-on in this office. Perhaps that’s why they’re closed.   If you enjoyed this post, make [...]
