Total Slacker

I have been slacking bad on this blog, but not as bad as Jing or K! This might be another random collection of thoughts post, we'll see how it develops.

First, Hulu has a relatively new thing that ask you if an ad is relevant to you. It's in the top right corner of each ad, and I don't know what happens if you click it. People get paid thousands of dollars to determine whether an ad is relevant to someone watching 30 Rock, The Office, whatever. There is no way in hell I'm doing that work for them for free. Once the feared Hulu Plus launches maybe I'll do it if they give me free access but I'm sure they will not.


Is beer relevant to me? Hell yeah, but I'm not telling Hulu that!

AK did a mega-post about Chicago, so I'm not going to repeat that, but I will say that my pics are now on facebook. I think most of you who read this are probably my friends so you can check them out there to get a sense of the mayhem. I must say though, I disagree with AKs take on the Chi, both times that I've been there I've liked it a lot. It doesn't have the hate that Philly has, but I think it's a pretty good city.

I'm getting ready to head to Europe on Friday, which is super trill. I have some cousins over there so I'm visiting them, the itinerary is two nights in Paris and 6 nights in London. We might stand in line (sorry, "queue") for tickets to Wimbledon which would be super trill. We'd probably only get grounds tickets, not main court, but early on in the tournament you can still see some big name players on the grounds courts. It'll be my first time in England and 3rd time in France, but the other two were just for a day each in Strassburg, which is practically Germany.

I'm moving to a new place in Philly in July, it's back in the city (Fairmount area) and it's a pretty big one bedroom place with a backyard. The backyard (and huge basement for hockey gear) is what really drew me to the place. I'm pretty excited.
Mad grillin' and chillin' to occur here.

On a final note, this is what I try not to do when I go to the gym (warning: little bit of puke)

  1. Thanks for putting the pics up- although you probably need some nips blurring for Jing. Have fun in Europe- taste some cool beers for me. I don't know anything about French beer but I'm sure there's a lot of good stuff.
