A reader commented that since the Ginger Ninja and I started dating, I haven’t been posting too many blog entries under a category where I used to post a lot of stories: “Yeah…Girls…Geez”. He’s right, and I’ll see what I can do about it.
Here’s a comic that fits under the “Yeah…Girls…Geez”. We’ve all been here [...]

January 16, 2008 – 12:00 am
One of the things I noticed at Tom and Michele’s housewarming party (which I covered in this entry and this entry) was that the people there, whether or not they realized it, seemed to be observing the Seven Minute Rule, pictured below:

Blast from the Past: “Worst Date Ever”
June 9, 2007 – 11:09 am
A scene from Worst Date Ever, Part 4, just before it all went to Hell. I’m the guy with the only unblurred face; in the front row are Crabs, The Waitress and me.
Old Blog Entries? Why?
One of the downsides of switching domains (from accordionguy.blogware.com to joeydevilla.com) and blogging tools is that all the [...]

April 2, 2007 – 5:36 pm
As sensational as the topic of cyberbullying is in light of the Kathy Sierra incident, I believe it’s still the exception rather than the rule. Here are the statistics on threats I have received:
Number of times I have received threats because of my accordion playing on the street: 6 since May 1, 1999, the day [...]

Where the Single Men and Women Are
February 24, 2007 – 3:56 pm
In the late 1990s, a surprsingly large number of friends-of-friends who were women were involved in relationships with older married men (it was never clear to me how much thought they’d given to the long-term prospects for the relationship). I remember a Globe and Mail article from that time that talked about “The Man Glut”, [...]

Regular Expressions to the Rescue!
“Whenever I learn a new skill,” writes Randall Munroe, author and artist behind the incredibly nerdy webcomic xkcd, “I concoct elaborate scenarios where it lets me save the day.” In his latest comic, he illustrates this:

Everything You Need to Know About Guys, Explained in a Single Paragraph
December 8, 2006 – 3:57 pm
One of the interesting side effects of writing funny if somewhat embarrassing dating stories is that people start coming to you for dating advice. If you Google for the phrase “master of dating”, the first page of results points to an Alex Payne blog entry which categorizes me as such. This has only increased since [...]

Five Girls for Every Boy
November 3, 2006 – 7:11 pm
In the International Herald-Tribune, there’s an article on the social situation in Beirut, where young women outnumber young men by a ratio of five to one. The sex ratio skew is the result of the dire employment situation in Lebanon: the educated and ambitious men to seek their fortunes abroad while the women stay home [...]
Look Before You Poop

Perhaps I’ve become a bit too comfortable in Logan International Airport’s Terminal C.
Terminal C is the terminal I use most often, after the ones in Toronto. Of the airlines that have regular Toronto-Boston routes, Air Canada is probably the best option, both price- and comfort-wise. They tend to use larger and more comfortable jets than [...]

September 26, 2006 – 4:04 pm
[via reddit] Here’s further proof that everything under the sun can be expressed mathematically: the Attractiveness/Relationship graph (it’s not as complex as it sounds). To those of you who are going to waste the next couple of hours classifying people they know along the graph, I apologize in advance.
