Finished watching The Ring with Liz and Steph tonight. Pretty darn freaky, although watching it with them (hard-core horror movie veterans that they are) was almost scary in and of itself. For a movie to really scare them… that’s something. Cool flick. We talked a great deal about the story, and I made them promise…
I was at work until around 7. Towards the end of the day, Justin, Ben and I were trying to troubleshoot a particular project Justin’s been wrapped up in this week. So far, my neck has been killing me. My right arm has been hurting in ways that scream out "danger," and I think I…
So I didn’t write. I didn’t do any Photoshop. What I did do was go over a lot of my old pieces. Bits of writing I did, early on in my time as wanna-be poet at Ohio State. One of the things I did, while a graduate student in the MFA program there, was take…
A brief aside. I had lunch with Chelsea, and it was really rather pleasant. We were both sort of distant, and talked about our work lives and so forth. I found out more about the online journal she was keeping, and we talked about the whole concept of making your life/experiences available for the world…
On that note… I got home pretty late this evening. Today was just meeting heaven apparently, and I didn’t even get to really sit down and do any work until around 4 PM. Eh. I got to thinking. I’m behind on a ton of things. I mean, outside of work. I owe several people several…
I’m listening to Poor Places from Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (Wilco), and that middle part (I seem to have this thing for middle parts) is really making me happy. I guess it’s more about the chords and key changes that do it for me. I seem to have a pretty visceral response to these kinds of…
Leave it to twelvestone to come up with the games. See, right now… if you’ve been clicking on all these game links… c’mon. What the hell. I’m just leeching off of twelvestone, and passing along the stuff that I happen to get addicted to. Isn’t it about time you got rid of the middleman and…
Tomorrow, the weather is supposed to be in the 50’s. On Saturday, the 60’s. Holy crap. It’s been so cold for so long… I’m getting all excited just talking about it. Of course, I’ll be spending most of tomorrow working indoors. And the bulk of the weekend working inside my apartment. But maybe, maybe I’ll…
Dustin and Sherie are getting married! Ah damn, it’s so fucking awesome. What a wonderful thing to happen to two wonderful people. This is just such great news!
by Brady Udall Roy growls and gives me the evil eye from inside his doghouse. He’s flustered; I’m fairly certain this is the first time in his life a six-foot-three Apache Indian holding a goat has walked into his backyard in the middle of the night. Roy, there under the comfort of his own roof,…
He is someone you all need to read. I got a collection of short stories of his that I never returned (sorry Jason!). But ever since opening this book, I’ve been a big, big fan.
I am hazy and full of unfocused optimism. There is a time and place for this, but I’m not convinced this is the time or the place. Most times, you can gauge drinking by the number of shots. But for me, I’ve been filling up this little coffee mug off and on for a few…
Sorry, there’s not much to talk about tonight. Which sucks because, I spoke with three different people today who all went on about how much they liked the blog. So naturally, I’m trying to think of good, compelling content here. But it’s late (11 PM), and I’m tired, and I’ve had a few beers already….
The French Embassy in Washington had no immediate comment, except to say that french fries actually come from Belgium.
When I was home, I spent Saturday night watching this really cool Chinese Kung-Fu movie (technically called "Hero") with them. It had Jet Liin it, along with that girl from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. All in Chinese, and not subtitled for English. They spent a good hour translating bits and pieces for me (some I…
