The Cost of Paying Attention

“Silence is now offered as a luxury good.”

I love everything about this New York Times piece I recently read entitled "The Cost of Paying Attention." So much so that I've already put the writer's book (“The World Beyond Your Head: On Becoming an Individual in an Age of Distraction”) on hold. Expect a review on that coming soon.

Fan Catches Baseball While Holding Baby

Why in the hell were people not mad about this guy catching this ball when it so clearly could've been caught by that player? People cheer on this idiot while the sweet Steve Bartman suffered for years?! Go to hell, anyone-who-clapped-for-this-guy.

The Top 25 Most Viewed Blog Posts

I've maintained this blog for two and a half years now (yikes) and it's kind of a small miracle that it's somehow gone on this long. There have been so many posts in that time that I thought it might be all right to share some of the top viewed posts (thank you Google Analytics) that I've written so far. I don't expect anyone to follow this site along so closely that they've read everything, so hopefully there's a few on this list that are new to you.

Person To Follow - Kelly Oxford

If you're on Twitter and you're not following Kelly Oxford already, who the hell are you following? She IS Twitter, as far as I'm concerned.

Out of Print Clothing

Have you heard of Out of Print? I'm dangerously close to being in love with their shirts.

Letterman's Last Top Ten

Honestly, I've never hid my dislike for Letterman. The main reason I'm sharing this?

• The Jerry benefit line.

• Look at Jim Carrey. Still a babe.

• Tina Fey.

Springfield Isotopes Hoodie

If there are any hardcore Simpsons fans in your life (other than me), I think I've just found them the perfect gift. (I looked for a baseball hat - is it hat or cap? - with the Isotopes logo and that one was surprisingly hard to find. Will keep looking.)

The hoodie's available for under $20, too!
