Short thoughts

– I got an email saying the Baconator has a Facebook page.  It made sad, first that it exists, second, that I was emailed about it.

– There is a commercial for the Columbus Crew MLS team.  The announcer is British.  Come on, Crew.  You’re still MLS, let’s not act all British premier league on me.

– One of my neighbors has taken to opening and closing his door about every 50-90 seconds for an hour a night.  Another apparently wears boots of lead causing my floor to shake when he walks.  I feel like the lead character in The Tell-Tale Heart.  The sounds haunt my nightmares.  What have I done to deserve this repetitive and maddening game?

– I am refinancing my place.  I miss the old days, when they did it with no background checks or paperwork…but that is probably why the housing market collapsed.  “Hey, want a mortgage?  Give me two dollars and your Giant Eagle card!  Approved!”
