I think the most evil thing about this whole diet thing is that it’s Girl Scout cookie time. Everywhere I go, I see Girl Scouts selling cookies. When I was out running errands, they were at a Target/Bed Bath and Beyond complex with cases of Thin Mints. Some evil whore in my office keeps leaving ...

My shutterbug stepbrother Doug passed along a few adorable photos that I can’t resist posting: Trudy, Elias, and big brother Max. Max looks significantly more OK with having a sibling than I thought he would. We’ll see how long that lasts. Elias, giving a nice “What the hell just happened to me?” look. Last but ...

You know, I’d post something on the Oscars, but I think Defamer said it for us all: 8:23pm: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOO! God help us all. The sky has opened, Beezlebub has dumped his infernal payload of obvious evil on an unsuspecting Earth. Life as we know it is over. Drive to the desert and ...

My stepsister-in-law Trudy gave birth to her and Doug’s second son, Elias Coltrane, very early this morning.

Apologies for the lack of posting. I’m still congested, still dieting, and the next couple weeks are going to be a bit more nuts workwise. Anyway, a few links to dump upon ya: – I’d make fun of these people, but I fear too many of you have seen me at occasions with an open ...

Colds suck. Colds suck more when you can’t eat chicken noodle soup. God, I love my body’s timing.

I finally cracked and decided to do something about the massive amount of weight I’ve put on lately, and am back on Atkins. I forgot how much the first few days suck. Your body doesn’t have any carbs to burn, but it hasn’t started burning fat yet, so you’re dead fucking tired until the effects ...

“Yep” or “Yup”? For the record, I say “yep.”
