I'm starting to get sick of all the end-of-the-decade lists. Was 9/11 the biggest news story of the decade? No, you know what. It's not. It's #6. Let's sit here and rank tragedies. I mean, come on.

wrapping presents with cheap paper suh-uh-uh-ucks. And I've got four rolls of the stuff. I would do better wrapping presents in taped together sheets of kleenex.

Don't bring a gun to a snowball fight!

Ah the old neighborhood. My Taco Bell and liquor store are both at that intersection.

Lots of morons in this clip. While that cop was probably the biggest moron, throwing snowballs at passing cars is pretty damn dangerous.

Is that U Street near the Ethiopian restaurants and Cakelove?

14th and U, on the same side of U as the big city building, across 14th from it. A block east of Cakelove. Busy intersection. Not a polite place to be lobbing snowballs into traffic.

To my neighbor b*tching over an unmarked parking space on the street she believes she owns the rights to: GFYS. Thanks. 8-)

Won't you say that for the next 3 weeks?

Fair point. I just emailed my Notice of Resignation From Partnership. Quite possibly my greatest email ever.

To celebrate, I will spend tomorrow at the blackjack table at Harrahs. If you need me, that's where you can find me.

Did the letter come as a shock, do you think?

Do you get a bunch of money for selling back your shares? Or were you still paying off the loan? If so that's like when I got my security deposit back from the last place I ever rented - pure profit.

I had spoken to the head of the firm a few weeks back about this being likely, so they knew it was coming. They are happy about it because it further cements the firm's relationship with the company where I am headed, which is one of the firm's largest clients.

I never actually had to pay for my capital. Our firm has a deal with Citibank where the partner (me) takes out the loan with Citi (in my case, roughly 90k), which pays it directly to the firm. Fortunately, the interest rate the firm gets on the capital exceeds the interest rate that is charge on the loan, so I actually make money on the deal. The principal is not due on the loan for 7 years. I'm only 5 years in. Now that I'm resigning, my firm will simply pay back the 90k to Citi and all is well.

So we're standing in line to see Santa for an hour and a half and there's this tiny little woman in front of us. I mean, Vox Jr is like 4' 2" and this woman was 4' 4" at absolute most. Couldn't have weighed more than 60 lbs. Her husband was normal sized, and so were her babies - it was so weird. I mean, think about it - your wife, despite the fact that she is shaped like a proper sized adult woman as near as I could reckon, is the size and weight of a seven year old. She must have to wear children's clothing. Where do you find a 20-B bra? How do you drive a car when you are that small? What do you do when your 9-month old is longer than your torso? How do you keep from rolling over and crushing her in your sleep? Do you carry her up into bed like kid when she falls asleep in the car? I mean, why not? What does it look like when she's pushing a shopping cart? Will anyone accept a credit card from her?

i had this revelation today that i don't know what to tell people who talk to me about what happens when we die. i should probably figure that out before i have kids. i have a feeling "i have no fucking idea" isn't going to work.

Is it named after a commissioner? Why do I think its Ford Frick?

If I was in a band, the song I'd want to cover the most is "The Way You Make Me Feel" by MJ. With a horn section. I think that would be the greatest thing ever, basically.
