Will call sucks
So it turns out that I had some sort of flu. I say “some sort of” because I have difficulty believing that’s what it was even though everything points in that direction. My head was swimming for a few days and that was it – I guess I expected something more dramatic. Although Saturday night’s [...]
Discombobulated
Yesterday, the Woman and I headed over to the in-laws for a Memorial Day/”everybody’s born around the same time” gathering. All was going well with much good food and much good conversation filling the day. And then something strange happened.
Near the end of the night I got a little dizzy. It started when her nephew… [...]
The end of productivity
Deflector
Draw a line. Deflect incoming fire back at enemy. Repeat for the next 5 hours… (thanks to Neatorama)
(A real update will follow. Promise.)
Tab clearance 2007-05-13
Before my tabs just explode, let’s see what goodies are out there.
For starters, if you’re not reading Neatorama you should be. Not necessarily the fastest to get the links, but the writers there get most of the goods and actually write about the sites rather than just pointing to them. Check out this list of [...]
Déjà vu
A coworker/friend was talking about experiencing déjà vu, and the idea that it’s an indication of us experiencing the path that we’ve already chosen for ourselves. Then she was wondering why she would have chosen the path she did – wouldn’t you pick something better?
friend: Do you think you choose the path, or just points [...]
Good vs. Evil
The official “Free Paris” petition currently has 18,152 signatures. The slightly less official “Jail Paris” petition currently has 33,502 signatures. I just can’t make up my mind which side to join, can you? I mean, they both make such excellent points…
Is Michelle Pfeiffer a good actress?
Is this a weird topic? Of course it is. But dammit, I’ve got some Pat Benatar blasting in the office, and I need to know. So, tell me: is Michelle Pfeiffer a good actress?
In his The Ten Worst Superhero Movies of All Time, Jess had the audacity to claim that Miss Pfeiffer can’t act. Bah! [...]
My backyard forest
As the Woman and I were getting ready for work this morning, she glanced out the window and noticed a deer in our backyard. There’s really no better way to start your morning. Well, unless that deer is followed by two more who wander out to start grazing on your “lawn”. I put the word [...]
Color me not impressed
I used to follow the box office reports somewhat regularly. I was fascinated by what it took for a movie to really make a lot of money. Most people don’t really get what a phenomenon something like Titanic was and that, no matter how many times you read those Harry Potter books, nothing is going [...]
You find yourself sitting at a red light
You pull up to an intersection. You find yourself sitting at a red light. The red light tells you not to go through the intersection. But you want to be on the other side of the intersection. You want to go through the intersection even though the red light is clearly telling you to stay [...]
