So. Instead of recording the IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! slated for today at the office, I brought my USB headset home and tried plugging it into the desktop system here at home. Windows didn’t like it. I run XP on my desktop since there’s no way on God’s greenish-brown Earth I can afford a legit… Continue reading There Are Not Enough Expletives.

Farewell to the Tube
I have almost an entire season of 24 sitting on my DVR at home. I’m going to need to watch it all in the next few weeks, since my wife and I will be moving sometime around May. When we move, it’s likely we’ll be leaving the television behind. Well, we’ll be taking the television… Continue reading Farewell to the Tube
Today is a…
Nothing interesting going on, really. So move along to something less full of suck.
Her Twenty-First
In honor of my wife‘s birthday today, here’s a bit from one of my favorite posts of hers. We’re taking care of some errands and going out at least for dinner tonight, thanks to a generous gift card to our favorite restaurant. Guess what it is. Go on, guess. Enjoy this little taste of an… Continue reading Her Twenty-First
Alchemist mac Sláine
My grandmother’s maiden name was Marilyn Slane. Like Saint Patrick, the family name was anglicized (it’s actually Saint Padraic if I am not mistaken) from the original Sláine. Now from what I understand, her family originated from Scotland and moved to Ireland before her parents emigrated to the United States. According to legend, however, Sláine… Continue reading Alchemist mac Sláine
Caution: Bears
“Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes, well, he eats you.” It’s true in many walks of life that we spend a lot of time chasing or being chased. We chase our dreams, we get chased by doubt. We chase new shiny objects, we get chased by creditors. We chase deer, we get chased by… Continue reading Caution: Bears
Awards Weekend: The Oscars
I didn’t watch the Oscars. Well, how in the living Hell can you expect to recap the Oscars if you didn’t spend five hours watching them, hm, hmm? Simple. People blogged and tweeted the stuffing out of last night’s pop-culture Super Bowl. Which was another event I didn’t watch. And no, it had nothing to… Continue reading Awards Weekend: The Oscars
Awards Weekend: The Razzies
The Razzies are the antithesis of the Oscars, in that they honor the very worst in film-making while Oscar honors the best. Or at least the most lucrative. Anyway, Sandra Bullock classed up the joint by showing up to accept her award. She might do the same on Sunday at the Oscars, for an entirely… Continue reading Awards Weekend: The Razzies
Ouch.
(This is another one of those personal posts you can probably ignore.) It isn’t all fun and games out here, kids. I’m looking for a new place to live, I need to take our littlest kitten to a vet because she’s way overdue to see one, Vera needs some additional servicing since I didn’t get… Continue reading Ouch.
Works Life in Progress
I’m taking a cue from Ye Olde Magick Speaking Beardface and just putting down some words about life in general at this point. I only have one real creative work in progress at the moment, which is more than enough considering everything that’s going on. “Who’re you calling a program, program?”* Right, first things first.… Continue reading Works Life in Progress
