Quote of the Day

Head is hurting so bad I wish it would fall off, but I wanted to share with you the Quote of the Day:
“A gentleman’s todger should never be larger than the fine cigar he smokes.” –Winstonchurchil
Sage wisdom, indeed.

I <3 Twilight (Zone)

Ah, New Year’s Day. A day when many Americans indulge in watching football, and a day when I try to catch as much as I can of the Sci-Fi Channel’s marathon of THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
It’s odd: even though it’s fifty years old, the special effects are dated, and some of the acting is a [...]

Happy New Year

Another year, and, strangely, another decade have come and gone.
2009 was mostly a blah year where nothing interesting or good really happened. I drifted through it like a zombie. Not even an awesome zombie, but more like some zombie that was apathetic about eating brains. It’s like there were opportunities to eat [...]

Raise The Roof

Lindsey came over yesterday evening for dinner and a movie. We made spaghetti with the help of the oh-so-delicious Kraft Tangy Italian seasoning mix. It is by far my favorite spaghetti sauce. Now if only they made it in a jar…sigh.
After eating tasty food, we watched FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL. I’ve seen [...]

Five Christmas Movies/Specials That Don’t Suck

Everyone has a list of Christmas movies/specials that they tend to watch from year-to-year, right? Shows like that annoying RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER (just hand Rudolph some Sudafed and send his retarded ass packing), or A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS (one day Charlie Brown is going to show up with a roomsweeper, and all of [...]

James Cameron’s Taste in Fonts Blows

I saw AVATAR over the weekend, and like I said on Twitter, “If THE LAST SAMURAI and FERNGULLY: THE LAST RAINFOREST hooked up one night, AVATAR would be their delightful bastard spawn.”
It’s a good movie, but seriously, James Cameron — was it really necessary to inflict the Papyrus font on us? Hasn’t it been [...]

Feliz Navidad

I attended Brandon and Krystel’s “Holiday Baazar” last night. The turnout was pretty good; I think twenty-or-so people showed up, which was the perfect number of people to cram into their living room and kitchen.
The dress code was either to be semi-formal or “wear an ugly sweater,” so with half of the attendees wearing [...]

Souped-Up

One of the nice things about having this big-ass Kroger in town is convenient access to many different kinds of wonderful soups. This morning, after leaving the gym, I stopped by Kroger and got a bowl of Tomato Basil Bisque soup. Similar to the tomato soup you might get out of a can [...]

The Loiterer, Or: Making Things And Being Happy

Good afternoon.
I am writing this post at Boston Stoker, trying to work up the motivation to brave the cold and go home. Except for a bearded, corpulent fellow who is barefoot and reading a book, I am the only “customer” here. I put that in quotation marks because I finished my hot tea [...]

Shopping Is Hell

Ugh. It’s going on 13:30 and I’ve already been up nearly nine hours. I know others have been up even longer that, but this was the first Black Friday trench run I’ve ever experienced — at least from the consumer’s point of view — so I felt obligated to get up early and [...]
