Surreal Moment of the Day

Reading an article in the Wall Street Journal linked off Obscure Store, and they refer to Snoop Dogg by his real name, and even put it under one of those dopey little pencil drawings they do. For some reason, that just seems weird to me. That and the fact that Snoop quit smoking weed. As ...

This cannot be a good thing

Things you notice when you have way the fuck too much time on your hands: I have a series of mosquito bites and scars on my right leg that have formed the shape of the big dipper, although backwards. I have no idea what this means.

Well, we’re not at the dinner table now, are we?

I went to a Kol Nidre service tonight since it’s Yom Kippur, and I had to go atone for my sins of the last year. That, and shut up all of my parental units who would berate me until the end of time if I didn’t go. (You didn’t know I was Jewish, you say? ...

No.

Do not watch JFK. I just sat through the “Director’s Cut” of it that I took out from Blockbuster since I thought, oh, this should be interesting, since Oliver Stone is supposed to be a good director and such. I watched it tonight because my jaw has been hurting when I try to laugh, so ...

It’s after me!

My new mouse is creeping me out. I got an optical mouse because my old, roller-ball mouse finally conked out after three valiant years of service, clicking away on hundreds of thousands of hours of wasted time.

My Job In A Nutshell

Click Here. I’m the one at the board.

Why?

Deep-fried Twinkies. From Seattle, of all places. I would have expected this from Alabama, but not Seattle.

Required Remembrance

Where were you on September 11th? I was driving across the South. Read the story here. I basically avoided most of the September 11th coverage today, largely because I was doped up from having my wisdom teeth yanked and watching that all day when on drugs is not a good idea. But I probably would ...

Loss of wisdom

Well, at least I don’t feel any stupider. I got my wisdom teeth pulled Tuesdsay, and it really wasn’t all that bad. I’m still pretty sore, but the fine makers of Vicodin have been of a great deal of assistance in making it not hurt quite as bad. The silliest part was waiting for them ...

Steamroller blues

One thing the Austin Powers steamroller sequence does not show you: Steamrollers make the ground vibrate. A lot. They’re repaving Chicago Avenue, the street directly outside my bedroom window, and they finally put the last bit of pavement down today, so they brought the steamroller out. Except it vibrated my building so hard that it ...
