My evening redux

Filed in blog, Thu, 29 Jun 2006, 7:36 pm

Get home. Check basement. Get drink. Turn on TV. Flip by SciFi:
Voodoo Moon - Eric Mabius and Charisma Carpenter star in this horror movie about siblings who search for a demon responsible for mass murder.
If it weren’t down to the last half hour already, I’d have my evening set.
Update: Those bastards didn’t mention Jeffrey Combs [...]

The flood waters… they approach

Filed in blog, , 5:19 pm

After my epic battle with the creepy-crawly-things-that-invade-my-home, I made an epic blunder - I forgot to turn the dehumidifier back on. And while I laid in bed that night, itching dozens of imaginary bugs that I was sure were running across me, I listened to the pouring rains above my head with scant thought of [...]

The war at home

Filed in blog, Wed, 28 Jun 2006, 1:17 am

I don’t know what the hell those hopping insects in my basement are, but they certainly know who I am now. The struggle between man and the creepy-crawly-things-that-invade-his-home took a drastic turn this evening. After an unexpected encounter, a battle ensued with five or six lives lost. Fortunately they were all on the other side. [...]

Rediscovery

Filed in blog, Tue, 27 Jun 2006, 12:42 pm

I’m in the process of backing up the files from server at home (which really just serves files, as I haven’t run my websites off of it in a couple years) because I know at least one of the drives in it is faulty. Rather than trying to salvage it, I’m just dumping whatever is [...]

10 Simple Pleasures

Filed in blog, Fri, 23 Jun 2006, 7:59 am

So I got tagged in LJ for one of those meme-y things. I was going to keep it in LJ - because I’m such a blog snob - but though maybe this one was more appropriate for my real site. Anywho, you’re supposed to name 10 of life’s simple pleasures - let’s see what I [...]

Getting my game on

Filed in blog, Thu, 22 Jun 2006, 11:02 am

Oh, I definitely “got my game on” yesterday - got it right on my thumb indeed. I don’t think that sentence started out very cool, but it definitely lost whatever meager “cool points” it had once I used that dash.
Lisa and I are both trying to “get back in shape” before the wedding. It’s not [...]

Both kinds - country AND western

Why would you send me this ad? Why would you send anyone that ad? Is that picture of Toby Keith supposed to get people interested in country music? Because right now it appears to be confirming all of the stereotypes - I think I’ll pass.

I have been chosen

Filed in blog, Tue, 20 Jun 2006, 10:43 pm

My earlier post got swallowed by an accidental browser closing, so I’ll make this one fast. I’ve been chosen, but Lisa has not. Oddly enough, the notice came the same day as Lisa and I headed back into Manhattan to try again as a couple. Fortunately the test was exactly the same - so the [...]

I need some fiction

Filed in blog, , 10:16 pm

Currently I’m watching Munich. My previous rental from Netflix was Capote. Before that was Good Night, Good Luck. Anyone see a pattern? I need to re-order my queue…

Crappy movie day

Filed in blog, Sun, 18 Jun 2006, 4:05 pm

I don’t really have much to do today other than relax, so I was half tempted to throw up an open invite for anyone who wanted to drop by and accompany me in a day of bad TV and good alcohol. Then I thought maybe I could actually work on a few projects today, so [...]
