Jeff, I remember that you wanted new jeans. You still looking? What do you think of these new jeans? They are baggy skinny denim:

Chris, I think you could rock these. Wear them with your Uggs. I have black suspenders you can borrow.

We will be attending the premier of Iron Man on Wednesday at the Ziegfield Theater.  Thanks to Ben for the connect!  I may or may not have been a huge fan of this flawed comic book hero and could explain his personal struggles as well as provide a general overview of the abilities of the various iterations of the Iron Man powersuit.  So yea, I’m pretty stoked about this.  Please direct your jealousy and haterade towards Ben’s blog.

Never get into a wrestling match with a pig.  You both get dirty and the pig likes it.

The creature outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Apple is constructing a new Apple store in Boston and rather than the typical facade during this phase, they’ve erected a nice little homage to this Red Sox crazed town. I think it’s brilliant and adds a bit of humor to the cityscape. I wonder who brainstormed this nice homage to the city and the team.

What a sick looking car. Love it.

I received this month’s issue of the Smithsonian magazine today. Usually this magazine features a pretty interesting topic or story on their front cover, but when I saw this month’s cover (see above image) I couldn’t have been any more indifferent. “Magical Maine.” Are you f’ing kidding me? This isn’t an attack on Maine…but come on! Maine?! Oh well.

Check out this magazine online. Say MRod sent you.

Check out my friend Bryant in the new Acuvue commercial. As I told him today he is no longer my friend “Bryant,” but rather my friend “The Acuvue Guy.” I think this is better than being called “The Valtrex Guy.”

Scroll down to the third ad on the Acuvue website with “Josh and Bryant.” Way to go, Bry. Looking forward to your casting, er, appearance on The Hills and Gossip Girls.  Tell Whitney I said what’s up.

Kirk Kerkorian, currently the world’s 41st richest individual according to Forbes, has led a really interesting life.

After the war, having saved most of his wages, Kerkorian spent $5,000 on a Cessna. He worked as a general aviation pilot, and made his first visit to Las Vegas in 1944. After spending much time in Las Vegas during the 1940s, Kerkorian quit gambling and in 1947 paid $60,000 for Trans International Airlines, which was a small air-charter service which flew gamblers from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. He then bid on some war surplus bombers, using money on loan from the Seagrams family. Gasoline, and especially airplane fuel, was in short supply at the time, so he sold the fuel from the planes’ tanks, paid off his loan - and still had the airplanes. He operated the airline until 1968 when he sold it for $104 million to the Transamerica Corporation.

There’s a lesson here somewhere….Ah yes, got it!  Memo to self: Get commercial pilot license.
