I Think I Might Have Quit My Job Today
Uh oh. Just spent the last 8 hours drinking. I have no idea what's going to happen tomorrow morning. More to come...

Memorial Day Weekend
While everyone else hit the beach, I spent the long weekend sweating off pounds in our nation's sweltering capital. Some observations:
1. Amtrak should be ashamed of itself.
2. Once is an amazing movie. Go see it right now. Seriously.
3. Cosi is far and away the best restaurant in Washington, DC.
4. Watched Disc One of The Office Season 2 (American version). This show is so overrated I'm shocked Alfonso Cuaron didn't direct it.
5. The concept of Spoilers (and of not blurting them out sans warning at dinner parties) has not hit DC yet.
6. I can't believe a city exists where I'm the best dressed guy there.
7. Similarly, I can't believe a city exists where I've probably got a decent shot of picking up every woman who lives there.
8. I think my fantasy baseball team is mocking me.
9. Something else for the "Only in DC" files: our friend who hosted the aforementioned dinner party had to wait outside while the police cleaned up a shooting at the fish market.
10. A Target, a Baskin Robbins, and a CVS does not a cool neighborhood make.
11. At the local supermarket, some guy told me I look like Dan Snyder, owner of the Washington Redskins. Translation: "Hey, you look like that Jew."
12. My girlfriend and I actually considered travelling to Baltimore for fun.
13. Thought about buying a banjo, then found out they cost about $500!!! What? I thought they'd be giving those things away.
14. When in doubt, drink.
15. In certain sunlight, I could care less how ridiculous my sunglasses look. Ditto my shorts.
And without further ado, the all-time most brilliant cultural observation in the history of the United States, courtesy of my amazing girlfriend. Regarding the Herd of people who queue up while awaiting the train (for no apparent reason): "These are the same people who will kill you during a genocide." Amazing.

Rejected Blog Titles
Last night, an old friend told me I should start blogging. We were drinking, so it sounded like a fine idea. Now I'm at the office, where creativity goes to die. I've got nothing. A terrible start. But still, I'd like to see a first post up there. And so, behold a short list of rejected blog titles:
Bad Hair Big Nose
Still Life with Loser
Don't Go Into Advertising
Allow Me To Indulge Myself
For Blog's Sake
Ugh. Those are awful (excepting Bad Hair Big Nose, which I rather like). Fortunately, Thirty Is The New Sixty feels about right, even if I'm actually 32. I'm still not sure exactly what to do with this thing, but hopefully something at least semi-entertaining comes out of it. If not, I'll be sure and post about this blog's failure in my upcoming blog Forty Is The New I Might As Well Be Dead.
Oh, and seriously: don't go into advertising. For real.
