Virtually Creepy!
OK, this is kinda creepy. It's a website with a virtual person that you can carry on a conversation with. It's harder than you think to trip her up, but you'll have tons of fun trying. She can be quite the smart ass as evident in this answer to my question "Why do you blink if you're a robot?" Her response was "I don't have to explain everything to you, do I?"

I know WAY too much about nail polish.
I shot 60 individual images of nail polish poured on a white background today (I was just playing with the shot above). Does the world really need thousands of nail colors? I guess it pays the bills. I doubt if there are many straight men out there that can spot the difference between a Sech, Creative Nails, Orly, Jessica, China Glaze, OPI, or Essie nail polish bottle without seeing the label. Welcome to my world. It smells like lacquer in here. I have a headache.

Are you sure this is a public school?
My wife is a teacher at an elementary school in Encino, California. Yesterday, we went to her open house and it's so weird to see a parking lot full of luxury cars at a public LAUSD school. It looked like a Range Rover/Mercedes dealership. The school is located in a neighborhood of small million dollar homes (location location location) and is filled with the children of a few celebrities and other movie and television professionals. The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are Macy Gray, Mary J. Blige, Jeri Ryan and Matt LeBlanc (well, his wife's kids). Oh, and many of the Jackson kids went there as well, including Janet (it's right up the street from the house they all grew up in. The place was a zoo! I had to give the hairy eyeball to more than one little shit that almost ran over Lily on a tricycle on the kindergarten playground. Anyway, I'm not sure where I was going with this, but I guess I just wanted to mention how surreal it was.

Try sex. Uh, wadaya mean?
Holy Crap! I just read about this at Stupid Evil Bastard. It seems that having a strict religious upbringing can in some extreme cases lead to a very embarrassing talk with your fertility doctor. "We are not talking retarded people here, but a couple who were brought up in a religious environment who were simply unaware, after eight years of marriage, of the physical requirements necessary to procreate." READ THIS.

Tax day?
Well, my accountant didn't have room to fit me in before April 15th (Our anniversary anyway, so I didn't mind) so I'm seeing him today. This is the first time I've ever filed for an extension. Our schedule today means that I have to take Lily with me. Oh, she's gonna love that. Please send thoughts of a speedy meeting.

Another Monster?
I may have created a blog monster. Let me introduce to you Carly. She is my great friend and mentor's daughter. She still has one year left of high school. Don't let that last part fool you.

Weezer boobs.
What the hell does that mean you ask? I have no idea, but someone came to my blog after doing a Google search for it recently. Another recent favorite was "styrofoam cups chain link fence."
