Substantial Realization of a Lifelong Dream

When I was little I loved MacGyver. He was my hero. I wanted to be just like him, so of course I played with duct tape and Swiss Army knives and made up bullshit science to sound smart when I was rigging up useless household items to do… well, nothing. I was mimicking, not really [...]

Reunion

B brought our little one over this weekend so that she could stay with Daddy for Halloween week. She has been the nicest girl ever the last few days, sleeping next to me and loving on everyone. Even people who don’t want her to love on them. Coincidentally(?), Beau and John have been sick the [...]

Centralized Online Education is Bullshit

I’m in a class where my grade is heavily dependent on my group’s performance in an online game. More specifically, my grade is dependant on our simulated stock price in said game. You can bumble your way through it and have a pretty good chance of failing. It takes quite a bit of work and [...]

Feed my obsession

Anybody know where I might find seasons 7 & 8 of Red Dwarf?

Mawwiage

In personal news, I’m currently multitasking three equally important activities: putting together a presentation for class tomorrow, watching Red Dwarf, and enjoying the remainder of the extra spicy Chicken Tikka Masala I had for dinner.

Negligence

Brief statement: iTunes is crap. Use QCD.
That is all.
Update: OK, so it’s not really CRAP, but it’s bloated as all hell. For the time being, I’d still much rather use QCD.

Weird-Ass Thieves

Either I’m going insane, or the criminal element in my neighborhood is strange as hell.
There is a lot of expensive stuff in our garage, and we keep it closed/locked for that very reason. Occasionally we might open it and go inside for a few minutes before closing it. Well, unless I have misplaced them, my [...]

Gonna roll around, gonna hit the ground

Anybody want to go see Hayseed Dixie and the Kerosene Brothers with me in Ft. Worth on October 31?

A sad day… Whenever it was.

Mason went so long without updating the Joke Analysis that I stopped checking for new ones regularly. I just checked today, only to discover that he has been shitcanned.
That really sucks. The joke analysis was really the only part of NL I still read religiously. I hope he gets a new gig somewhere. My favorite [...]

Monday night at the Wreck Room

We’re playing tomorrow night at The Wreck Room with The Spiders. If you don’t mind driving out to Forth Worth on a Monday night, it’s gonna be a kickass show. I promise.
No, really. Satisfaction guaranteed.
In other news: I have come a long way in my rehabilitation from being a grammar/punctuation jerk, but I still [...]
