  • Meme Day

    Thanks, Filby, for this lovely meme. Go to Google image search and type in your name or handle or whatever. Fun stuff. This is not me, by the way. Click it, though, and visit my evil twin. He needs a goatee, damn it. Here, for those curious, is a recent photograph of myself. While my…

  • If You See Just One Movie This Year…

    …there’s something terribly wrong with you. Just got back from Napoleon Dynamite, which we saw at Greensboro’s luxury theatre, the Carousel. Normally, I’d scoff, but I love seeing movies at this place. It’s independently owned, it has stadium-seating, they sell espresso drinks–real espresso drinks–and alcohol. And (best of all), the usher told us (and everyone…

  • Concerns of a Ford Galaxie

    Progress is being made on the novel. That’s really all I have to comment on, at the moment. A black Cadillac in the story, which plays a rather important role, has become, instead, a black Ford Galaxie. Why? Because I saw a Galaxie on the way home from work today, and I liked it. People…

  • A Day in the Bush

    Today, we were on our way out of the apartment, headed to the grocery store for some food. It’s nice and cool and the skies were blue, and Natania said, “This would be a perfect day to go to the mountains.” And so, we did. For the bridal shower, Natania got a really great pic-a-nic…

  • Computer Overload

    I need to close some windows or my computer asplode, so I’m gonna go all bulleted-list on yo’ unsuspectin’ ass. Bear in mind that half of these can be found at boing boing: So, you’re a Neil Gaiman fan? And you think that Dave McKean is a damn fine artist? Oh, and you really miss…

  • Nerds Go Wild!

    Much time has passed since we last spoke, friend. …is how I would open an entry were I a character in a Dungeons and Dragons game. Which may come to pass, because I’ve been invited to join a local campaign. It meets bi-monthly, on Sundays, for seven hours. I’m a little nervous, to be honest.…

  • Prof. Masochist

    The week just started, and it’s been hellish at work. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how much I’m looking forward to finishing up in school and getting a teaching job. I’d be out on summer holiday by now! Really, though, I understand how difficult teaching is. Which reminded me of this one teacher…

  • Luna

    Our cat, named Luna, swallowed an amount of thread from the Persian rug in our living room. Until earlier today, we just thought that she was having trouble passing a hairball. Then we saw that there was a length of thread coming out of her anus. We took her to the emergency vet tonight at…

  • War on Pr0n

    Just thought I’d link to this War On Pornography thing. Y’know… maybe I’ll make up a small percentage of effort toward the Google-bomb. Post-of-substance to come later, after work.
