Who me?
Time Out New York was gracious enough to mention my appearance at this weeks Aristocontest as a "Don't Miss!" They also ran my photo with it. The only problem is, it's not me.
I'm this guy...
The contest was a lot of fun. I'll post my entry for it on here soon.Related:

Slept on My Ear
Woke up this morning with my ear folded under my head. It is very soar. I have a soar ear. My ear was folded all night. That's dangerous. People should be made more aware of folded ear. Surprised it doesn't happen more often. They're very foldable.

August 7, 1987 - Don’t worry about that.
August 12, 1987 - Ignore that.

Slippery
Today I accidentally dropped my bar of soap into the toilet bowl. That is the exact opposite of what is supposed to go in there.
