34

Taking a cue from an email from Banana, I've added translation links to the top of the page (right below my clever blog-motto [blotto]). I've been told that 34 is just as witty in Japanese, if not more so.

Have you ever seen a russian crossword puzzle? Probably not, unless you regularly ride public transportation in Brooklyn (or, say, Moscow). They're different from regular (read: english) crossword puzzles in that the grid is almost entirely open for words, the only blank space occupied with adverisements for cigarettes or something else suitably Russian. My initial thought was that russian crosswords must be a bitch and half to design, without the blank spaces to provide some buffer between incongrous (or at least incongrously spelled) words. But on further reflection, I guess that when you're dealing with an alphabet consisting almost entirely of made-up characters, spelling things correctly is a moot point.

Have you ever watched the Fox News Channel? It's really, really funny, in my limited experience.

And, yeah, there's the other half of that matchup. Lovely. At least I get to root for the Marlins, and I can pretend that because they have Pudge they're really the Rangers.

Well, we're halfway to the matchup that absolutely no one with any sense wants to see. Kerry Wood fucked my fantasy team over with his walks this season and he apparently doesn't take the postseason seriously either. His wife should be ashamed.

Remember how you were looking for a good store in NYC to buy curry or a place that would let you order curry via the Internet? Try Kalustyan's .
