Bubba Ho-Tep

“And on the seventh day, God came to rest upon the Earth in the form of Bruce Campbell…”
What can I say, I love the king. When the Angelika sent out newsletter saying that Bruce “Don’t call me Ash” Campbell was going to be at showings for his new movie last Saturday, I nearly wet myself. [...]

Maybe I need a PDA afterall

So this morning I says to myself, “Self, you got a trial coming up. It’s about time you asked for a personal day for that.” So I quickly go through my file folders to grab the notification. Hmmm, new court date is 10/2 - isn’t that Thursday? I guess I can at least be thankful [...]

I wanna fly like an eagle

Quick, let me hop back on that bandwagon before it leaves town - the Eagles rocked Buffalo yesterday after alienating most of their fans during their first 2 games. No, I’m not hoping right back on the whole support ship, but they’ve gone a long way to show they actually care. They blew it big [...]

Fast Food and Klingons

What can I say, sitting around in the Willowbrook Mall eating my crappy lunch and my mind starts to wander. I rarely get around to posting these rather oddball thought processes, but here are the mental notes I’ve made today:

The Eagles are stinkin’ it up big time so far, but then again the whole league [...]

No more Guinea Pigs

That’s right, we finally took Teddy and Jessie back to Sebastian last night. I miss them already. But I could also see how much they really love him, so I don’t mind as much. It’s amazing how calm they are in his hands. Now I must debate whether or not to get a couple of [...]

Now a good word from Philly

With football season under way I’ve been bashing my team on their message boards with a certain irregularity. It’s about time I posted something positive about my favorite city. Back in my college days I had opportunities to sample a wide variety of music thanks to my position on the radio station WCPR. One of [...]

Work, work, and more work

I haven’t had a chance to post about seeing Sandy and Steve’s new house (and Caitlyn) or the Art & Music Fest. This week has been hellish as I tried (and finally succeeded) in establishing a VPN between the two facilities at work. Unfortunately it all went downhill as the one Win2k3 server refused to [...]

EFF petition against the RIAA

Let me get the link for the EFF’s petition to “Stop the RIAA” out of the way before my point meanders too much.
In case you don’t know, the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) is like the ACLU for the digital world. They fight the cause that “the information wants to be free.” I know that saying [...]

There’s bad luck, and then there’s bad luck

Courtesy of SI’s current MLB Power Rankings:
At the coin toss to determine who would have home field in the event of a one-game playoff with one of five teams, Larry Bowa told GM Ed Wade to call “tails” on all five flips. The Phils lost all five tosses.

Now it’s a race

For those interested, former NATO Commander Wesley Clark jumped into the fray that is the Democratic process. That’s right, after a couple of Internet petitions to that effect, Clark decided he will run for President. People seem to think he’s a real threat to Bush, so lets all wish him the best!
