Just winding down from a fabulous weekend. (Feel free to jump straight to the photos of Mike & Nimi’s wedding.) Extravaganza Event #1: Karaoke Bachelor/ette Party Mike’s rendition of “Welcome to the Jungle” was accurate to the syllable; his artistic decision to stay true to both the spirit and the letter of the song both […]

People seem to think this is cool; Personally, I find it a little suspicious. I did kinda like this one, though: (It says: “I’m afraid.”)
If there’s one thing I hate more than The DaVinci Code, it’s… people who drive really slowly in the left lane (with apologies to my wife and my mother). But if there’s one thing I hate more than people who drive really slowly in the left lane… it’s cockroaches. That said, here is our cockroach […]

This is serious (serious). We could make you delirious (delirious). You should have a healthy fear of us (fear of us). Too much of us is dangerous (no no no no). Doctors tell the pharmacies (pharmacies) Types of pills that you will need (you will need). And they know the harm that we can be […]
Found some cool optical illusion images. (My personal favorite is the third one.)
For those who were losing sleep over this, you can relax: Moti Giladi will live on in digital splendor. Our CD blanks arrived, and–as you can see–they look great. (Disc image is a photo of our beautiful Persian ketubah, a work of art by Simcha Back.) The final song list:
Am I a bad-ass, or what? Whenever I have a cavity filled (which has happened more often than I’d like to remember), I tell the dentist to skip the pain killers. Yes, that’s right, no pain killers. And I highly recommend this to everyone else. Why?

Which is more pathetic: that The DaVinci Code is such a poorly contrived and written book—or that it’s everyone’s favorite? Why do people like this crap? It’s no Harry Potter. Okay, I’ll admit—sheepishly—that I stayed up til 5am because I wanted to finish it… but believe me, I was cursing at Dan Brown (mostly aloud) […]
Last night we saw the LAGQ (Los Angeles Guitar Quartet) perform with an excellent percussionist (Colin Currie). The concert was good—but let’s face it, when you have a marimba and/or a vibraphone, it’s hard to go wrong. The program:
