Poker: We ain’t shittin’ ya this time!

Ok, we tried this twice and screwed up both times. We are playing poker at my house this Friday evening. The game is Texas Hold ‘Em. You can bring as little or as much dough as you wish, but keep in mind the limits will be low this first night. Call it a pilot game.
Please [...]

Mama Went Home

Mama and Taylor were here, now they’re not. We had a good time, and I’m looking forward to going down there for Christmas.
Last night I finished Half-Life 2, so now I’m even more pissed off that I bought the retail package and can’t play any of the stuff made available to the Silver Package buyers [...]

Turkey Murder Update

We’re considering having a smallish gathering at my house Thursday evening for fun, friends, family, and maybe Karaoke if I can gather some equipment. Who’s game?

Mappy Spanksgiving

If you’ve got no plans at any point tomorrow and want to come hang out, just let me know. Mom and Taylor will be here in the morning. We’re not doing traditional Turkey ‘n’ fixins. We’ll be whippin’ up something Mama-style.

If you’d like to play, let me [...]

Not for the squeamish

This is absolute genius. It might even give DDB a run for its money.

Nimble Acrobats, Transformers, and Dead Spammers

I still don’t have this place organized the way I want, so I’ll just stick this here: If you’re using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 (reader or writer), and you’re sick of it taking so long to load, just go in and remove a bunch of the included plugins that you know you’ll never use. Mine went [...]

My pants are too tight

Every week it seems another pair of pants ceases to fit around my mediocre gut. I still need to find a cheap bike to ride around town, as well as a decent way of transporting it. Which would work better on a Santa Fe, a bike rack on the rear of the car, or one [...]

Poor little guy

By the end, I was crying with him.

Let’s get drunk on a Wednesday

Feel like celebrating because the best guy on the ballot probably won? Let’s get drunk!
Feel like drowning your sorrows because the world is going to end and we’re getting four more years of Bush incinerating kittens and puppydogs? Let’s get drunk!
Where’s a decent bar in the area we could all meetup for some celebration/lamenting? I’ll [...]
