Thanksgiving went off pretty much without a hitch…uh…thankfully, I guess is the word I’m looking for. I came over here to my Dad’s on Wednesday afternoon so that we could go to the store and pick up the last ingredients that we needed for cooking on Thursday, and that gave us a chance to [...]

I went over to my Dad’s house this weekend to help him with his computer that’s been causing him trouble for weeks and weeks now, and I think we finally got the problem to a point where we can’t go any further with the hardware he has. Time to replace the RAM. Good [...]

I woke up this morning to the phone ringing, and much to my dismay the caller (who was my sister, contrary to other people’s beliefs) informed me of the weather outside. I stood up, looked out the window, and saw that it was snowing. Hard. There’s an eye-opener, that’s for sure. [...]

Dan asked me today “So what have you been doing since November 11?” and I realized that I hadn’t written since early in the week. Honestly, there hasn’t been a whole lot to write about. I feel like I’m letting people down who read my site because I don’t have any tales of [...]

One thing I meant to write about is that [...]

Stupid comment spam. I’m starting to get random pieces of spam put in comments on entries, which is more common than you’d expect with blogs, and from what I’ve read is becoming more and more of a nuisance to bloggers around the world. First it was email spam (and still), then pop-up ads, [...]

Guys have this stigma attached to them that society dictates that they cannot cry. I’m not exactly sure how that came about, and it’s been the punchline of numerous jokes through the years.. It probably has something to do with how men are always supposed to be strong, but the question is then [...]

I finally heard back about the job at Elephant’s Deli, and the answer was a negatory. I understand why they didn’t want to hire me, but it’s still a little frustrating. You know how the old joke goes? “I went to a small liberal arts college (or majored in hostory, or majored [...]

Googling someone’s name always produces an interesting set of results for many people, a mixture of random entries regarding them in the case of some people I know, and in others whole laundry lists of people with the same name but nothing on them specifically. Naturally, I’m first when you Google my name, whether [...]

I estimate that I’ve seen Alien probably about a dozen times since I first saw it as a child of ten years of age or so. I’ve the first sequel, Aliens probably twice that over the years, though that’s a pretty liberal estimate. In any case, I know just about everything there is [...]
