Hey the professor posted about the store, cool!

Professor Althouse made a very nice post about her visit to the store when they were filming What Not to Wear. The played that episode this weekend and it was pretty funny. It was about a lawyer who needed to change her look. She was nominated by her law school friends who said she looked dowdy. One of them said she looked like a house wife from Wisconsin. Hee hee. Then the professor posted that her clothes were just fine. Double hee hee. It's just funny how things work out don't ya think.

I don't know anything about woman's fashion other than what my wife taught me and I always hesitate to offer too many opinions. But I offered to hook the professor up with a few pieces that would let her get that Helen Mirren cougar on the prowl thing going, but she wasn't interested. Hey we all have our own style. I know mine is a cross between Paulie Walnuts and Jackie Gleason. It was a lot of fun showing off the store.

The people on What Not to Wear are really great. They are professional and Stacy and Clinton are very cool and down to earth. They are very supportive of the subjects of the show. It's really hard to produce a lot of content in anything you do in both TV and blogging. Every joke and every post or comment can't be a gem. So I really admire people who consistently produce content at a high level wether it be reality TV or blogging.

Now back to the jokes.

Who you talking about?

Some discussion an Althouse about the comments by some of the regulars. I think everybody has too much to say about other peoples comments, including me. What the hell do I know. I just find certain stuff funny and other stuff boring tripe. The one thing I enjoy about Althouse is that there is a bunch of regulars who weigh in all the time on various issues. But I don't know if I am going to follow it as closely when she goes back to Madison. What initially interested me was the move to Brooklyn. I guess as in most things time will tell,

I will say that I found a lot of other personal blogs that are very interesting from various Althouse commenters. Blake has a great blog very movie-centric and Joted bird droppings are very entertaining. Ice pick had a great blog but it seems to be closed off now. Shame, I enjoyed his stuff.

Who you talking about?

The NBA playoffs begin.

This takes me back to the twenty years that I had Knick season tickets. Once upon a time I was gearing up for the playoffs. That ain't happening in New York any time soon. I am picking the Spurs to repeat. I know that's not the popular bet but I don't think the Celtics or the Lakers are for real. We shall see.

Kennedy lit up again.

Damn this douche got beat by the freakin' Orioles. How lame can you be. And Farnsworth is suspended for buzzing Manny. Next time put it right in the coconut. If you're gonna do the time you might as well do the crime.

Farnsworth took my advice.

I see that Farnsworth did buzz Manny. It's about time. He needs to do that every time. As does
the Moose if he wants to pitch against the Red Sox again. Now the Yankees will be on a long trip as the Pope comes to Yankee Stadium. Everybody wants to get in on the act for the last year at the Stadium. Jeeeez.

The Yankees are losing again!

Damn we are losing 7 to 3 in the bottom of the ninth. Beckett did it again. We have to start slapping these guys around if we want to get to the series. Manny's killing us. Time for a high hard one to the melon. Show some balls Joe. Back him off the plate.

Thank God tax time is over!!!!!!!!!

Well now I can come up for air. The taxes I could get finished are done and the extensions are

filed. And for the people who sent their stuff after April 10, fuck you very much.



I took the last two days off and worked in the store. Today I went up Court St to get some specialty bulbs from the lighting store and stopped in Book Court to get something to read. I have been downloading and copying EBooks during the tax season so it was fun to buy an actual book for a change. Although E books are definitely the wave of the future especially the advance reader copies of your favorite series.



I also stopped off in the Downtown Bar and Grill that used to be Cousins. I spent (wasted) many an hour on the very bar stool I sat on. It was amazing. The bar was taken over by a couple of Arab guys who used to own a deli. They have no concept of how to run a bar. The music was from the radio and they had twenty beers on tap of which I had heard of precisely two. Now I know a lot about beers so I have to say I had to laugh. The bartender was a ZZtop lookalike who spent more time outside than behind the bar. What a joke. No wonder this guy is losing his shirt.

I know the joint is on the market, I hope someone buys it who knows what they are doing. It's a shame to see how the old hangout has gone to shit.

Taxes are over my head.

I am up against the deadline and I still have about 37 returns to finish. If you wonder how I have time to post comments, it's because I have to wait for the computer to run the returns and it takes forever since there is now about 100 pages in every return. Jeeez. I can't wait to quit and sell ladies underwear full time.

NEVER TRUST A KENNEDY

So Ian Kennedy threw a dog last night and Laytoya Hawkins and that freaking Farnsworth let the Devil Rays score 13. Just goes to show you that you can only trust a Kennedy to raise your taxes but don't let them drive, fly a plane, talk to your sister, or pitch. Damn.
