I asked around, and no one’s heard the previous entry’s quote before. I’m going to go ahead and take credit for it, then. Damn, I’m good.
After a brief invasion in my computer room and then an established beachhead in my kitchen last spring in which I used chemical weapons to drive them back, [...]

I woke up this morning with a quote in my head. It was the first thought I had of the day besides “6:30? Already?”

OK, I have spent way too much money building a replacement for my TiVo unit, but I think in the end, it’ll be worth it. I’ll have to add up everything that I purchased for it, but I’m pretty sure that when all is said and done it’ll take the equivalent of about 6 [...]

The song of the day is apparently “Come Sail Away” by Styx. I heard it this morning–twice–as I shuffled my way through the Classic Rock playlist on my iPod, and then once again when I grabbed a sandwich for lunch at Big Town Hero. I’m not exactly sure what the Rock Gods are [...]
