Man, Thursday already? I've lost less time during my college drinking binges. In any case, as much as I btich about traveling, there was one good thing about this past weekend away--the food. Once in awhile, it really is nice having friends for dinner... You scored as Hannibal Lecter. You are Hannibal Lecter....

1For the rest of the summer, the Twenty Minute Travel Rule is in effect. Anything non-business related that requires me to do more than twenty minutes of driving one way isn't anything I'm going to feel like doing. If no one's bleeding from the eyeballs or in imminent danger of shuffling off from this mortal coil, they can use my email address.2On the good side, I got the best rejection letter a...

...are taking the holiday weekend off to spend exhorbitant amounts of time and (gas) money getting the heck out of Dodge for the weekend. It's also graduation weekend for the Big Red School on the Hill, and the word we've received is, "You don't wanna be in town if you can help it."We'll be out of town, but I reserve the right to hijack some net.access at any point, and btich and moan about how I...

Doing a bit of the prog rock thing this week. Well, Toto doesn't quite count, at least not everything in that compilation. But, some of it fits. What the hell, they're all monsters.Oh, and you know you're old when you overhear a conversation between some obvious "cool kids" where one says to the other, "His...

The Wife will tell you, I've often wished I had crazy telekinetic powers. If Your Life Was a Movie, What Would it Be?If your life was a movie, it would be the horror flick Carrie, about a lonely teenage girl with psychic powers who murders her classmates after one too many practical jokes. You're probably depressed...

(I originally posted this in a slightly different form on the RiceBowlJournals Community Blog.)Here's a question that occurred to me, oddly enough, while I was looking through some old digital photos I’ve taken. Will the USA never learn? Who am I fooling, of course not. I’m just constantly amazed how everything old always seems to end up being "new again." Case in point: I’m going to quote a dissent...

The Wife and I couldn't resist going back to the third (not second, like I thought before) week of the Book Sale. Each day of the weekend, the prices go down a bit more. The last haul was $4...I think we spent about $7 or $8 that day.The stack you see up there was but half our Sunday haul, which cost us a grand...

on tap for this week...Create your own Music List @ HotFreeLayouts!I'm digging Bebel's CD. Some really nice bossa--what else would you expect from the daughter of João Gilberto?I'm always listening to some Sons. I just "found" a bootlegged concert from 1977. Consequently, my soul, R&B, and "funky white...

And, I'm not complaining one bit! This weekend was the second third weekend of the Friends of the Library Spring Book Sale. These books here cost $0.50 each!I've been planning to get some Isaac Babel for some time now. If Raymond Carver thought highly of him, that's good enough for me. It looks like I snagged...

1Happy Asian Pacific-Islander American Heritage Month... lots to be... um...proud of...yeah.2It's only been three days. Is it weird to love my new job so much?
