Open Letter to the Sexing Couple in My Apt Building

Dear Sexing Couple: When you're having sex, could you please close your window so that I don't have to hear it? I mean, your episode on Saturday afternoon while I was studying was fine I guess, but I woke up about 20 minutes ago (did you know its 4 a.m.?) and thought I was hearing sexy voices until I reaiized it was you. Being loud again. Some of us are sleepy, and don't get to be sexy all the time, y'know? Thanks.

Lesson of the Day

When you can't tell if someone is hitting on you or offering you a job, it's safe to assume that you're probably picking up on *both* of the intentions of the other person.

I, unfortunately, thought I was being picked up a pleasantly attractive Canadian last night. But when he came by the table I was dining at with friends downtown and offered a gig in Toronto.... Um, yeah, I wasn't the only person surprised.

Since I'm not interested in gf/sales director combo deals, no deal for me.

The Cockroach Is Back For More

There's a follow-up article to the hysterical video of the weatherman who freaked out when a cockroach crawled on his leg.

Before you start reading, note the author, and then try not to read the article while mentally hearing his voice in your head, punctuated by some well placed "Oh my gawd!"s.

Hat tip to KM for pointing the author out to me, which I'd completely missed when first reading it and just makes the article that much funnier.

A Call for Hottness

Quick question for the Unfocus Group -- what songs help you work out? I'm talking about the song that comes on and you're suddenly going 2 mph faster on the treadmill, or the one that helps you lift an extra 10 pounds. I ask because I'm looking to put more of those songs on my Shuffle, which has a lot of really stale music on it. Mostly this is because I am so behind when it comes to hip-hop -- unless Timbaland produced it, I haven't heard it. So if you've got some absolute work-out magic hiding somewhere in your iTunes, please tell me what it is. My calories burned per hour are counting on it.

Like We Didn't Have Enough Reasons to Love Brad Pitt

Via AP:

NEW YORK -- Brad Pitt, ever the social activist, says he won't be marrying Angelina Jolie until the restrictions on who can marry whom are dropped. "Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able," the 42-year-old actor reveals in Esquire magazine's October issue, on newsstands Sept. 19.

Also, Not All Lesbians Are Good At Softball

You will be shocked (shocked!) to learn that not all gay men are hairless model screaming queens.

I think this piece deserves the Pulitzer prize for investigative journalism.
