June 25, 2006Check out my junk!
June 24, 2006I'm only $279 away from buying this LCD beltbuckle display, and having it run a continuously animating loop, alternating between a flashing arrow pointing South & the phrase "This is where the magic happens".

June 24, 2006Sometimes I wonder
June 23, 2006why I bother to maintain a jonsonblog when this guy sums up all my thoughts about life so eloquently.
You owe it to yourself
June 23, 2006to be watching a show called The Thick of It, Fridays on BBC America. Winner of two British Emmy's (called BAFTAs) for best comedy (beating out Ricky Gervais' HBO show Extras) and best actor, and drowning in universal acclaim, it's easily the funniest thing on television now that Arrested Development's been killed. I watched the first six episodes, and it's on a brief hiatus now, but when it starts up again you should check it out.

Streams of profanity have never been so eloquent nor hilarious. A word of warning: if you had a hard time following the language in the British version of The Office, this is not for you; with the rapid fire conversations, profane slang and thick accents, this is more like the nightclubbing scene in Trainspotting, but for the whole episode.
My awesomeness

However, for the moment, I'm delighted to see that as of right now, I'm the number one result for the phrase "Fucking nerds." I may need to revisit my chart:
