NevDull's Take On Things

Yet another thing that’s bad for you… there’s a study published in the British Medical Journal that shows that ibuprofen and another NSAID diclofenac, if taken in high doses, can double your risk of heart attack.  Read more about it at the Daily Mail. That’s it!  I’m going back to movie theater popcorn, we haven’t [...]

OK, I don’t know how I missed this article for so long, and sorry if it’s “that’s so 5 months ago”, but it seems that sex really does reduce stress levels for up to a week afterward! The New Scientist wrote about this in January… and it seems like just taking care of things yourself doesn’t [...]

Well, after talking about haircuts with Amy, she went ahead and booked me a haircut on Saturday at the Arrojo Studio.  For those of you who’ve seen the American version of What Not to Wear on TLC, Nick Arrojo is the guy who does the haircut portion of the makeover.  Saw Nick there, working on [...]

I’ve been pretty off-the-radar lately, with the move, work getting a bit crazy, and a budding relationship.  I’m not sure what to say, but I’ll mention something I’ve been thinking about lately. I have a friend who worked for Target for many months, while between “real” jobs.  One day, she was telling me about how [...]

I’m trying really, really hard not to give up and play the blame game. I spent several days last week with people who have given up the corporate life and gone and built things for themselves.  They spotted opportunities, and followed up on them.  I had a long conversation with ShandyKing about entrepreneurship… making decisions [...]

I just happened upon the news item that AT&T is buying BellSouth.  Confusing enough with SBC and AT&T just having merged, and having formed AT&T Inc.  While I understand the drive to consolidate to hopefully gain efficiencies (size certainly brings influence, pricing efficiencies, and employee redundancies), it’s getting pretty ridiculous with Verizon having just bought [...]

While at Frankie and Johnnie’s Steakhouse at 45th and 8th in New York late Friday evening, Rita Cosby (formerly of Fox News, now at MSNBC) was with a party of 5 men.  Now, I’m not going to say that I haven’t ever found her attractive — she’s pretty, and I love women with husky voices [...]

I’ve found myself a place to live in the West Village.  Quite exciting, the prospect of living in Manhattan for the first time, on a quiet street a block from the good kind of craziness.  Less than half an hour from my desk to the front door is a pretty exciting concept… and getting rid [...]

I’ve mentioned in the blog some changes — exercising, losing weight.  Along with those two, I’m finding myself changing a bit of lifestyle, too. Today’s been a day of “different” things for me.  6 months ago, I’d not have imagined myself buying jeans at Aeropostale, shirts at Express, nor lighting a fire in my fireplace [...]

Yesterday, I bought myself a new set of earbuds, and started listening to my iPod again. Crossing the Hudson on the ferry, I listened to Frente’s cover of New Order’s Bizarre Love Triangle, and tried to make sense of the lyrics. I think I listened to it three times in a row. And I’m still [...]
