Thanksgiving and Post-Turkey Day Were Great

1. We have very little leftovers.
2. Today is B’s berfday!
3. If anyone out there is driving from DFW to Beaumont in the next week or so, please let me stow away with you. Otherwise, I’m going to book a one-way flight sometime later this week. Long story.

I’ve gotten lazy with this, so sue me

I truly have very little to report. I’ve been working and sleeping, occasionally eating. Today I took my car to the shop for a checkup and had breakfast with Rob & Chloe.
Battlestar Galactica sucks balls. Hard.

I shit you not

This weekend I became a godfather. The designation is largely honorary, but I’m nonetheless very touched that Kenny and Cathy asked us to be a part of their daughter’s life in this manner. It never occurred to me to ask them what led them to choose us, or whether there was much deliberation involved. To [...]

Farris Goldstein’s 115th Dream

I have a few pieces left of last night’s dream. This morning they were still very clear to me, and I meant to write them down, but I waited and so now they’re just fragments.
Grace had torn out about 95% of the carpet in our house. I was so angry that I decided to leave [...]

Tacky

A few days ago I started destroying my piano, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I started turning my old spinet, generously donated by Mr. Rillifane into a tack piano. Yeah, I just dumped out the box of thumbtacks and started haphazardly shoving them into the hammers. I have a little bit of [...]

Hookie Hokey Pokey

I worked from home today. It’s a good thing, too, because I had all sorts of server problems, and I would have been too distracted at the office to take care of it there.
Daniel and Jess came over for dinner tonight. I made pork chops and mashed potatoes. Then we watched election coverage while Jess [...]

Thirty-six Hundred Dollar Popcorn

$3600 to remove the popcorn cottage-cheese muleshit from our ceiling and repaint. I don’t think so.
Tonight I made the best taco meat ever, bar none. Then I ate brownies and drank milk and got a stomach ache.
Then I did some more work and tried to pass off this lame entry as today’s sorry excuse for [...]

De-feeting the porpoise

How is it that I’m only now discovering that cetaceans evolved from land mammals and not the other way around? Also, how is it that, even after all the Shamu and Free Willy hype, I never knew that Orca (”killer whales”) were technically dolphins? Honestly, these were more shocking to me than the discovery of [...]

Telling All

We went to bed pretty early for a Friday night, about 11:30. I’ve been getting up so early that I couldn’t sleep past 7, which was almost 8 hours I suppose.
I’ve had one or two lines from three or four songs stuck in my head, and I’ve been oddly nervous. I think I’m grinding my [...]

Hiding Under Rocks

I just found out today that there is a new Sam ‘n’ Max game. Why didn’t I know about this before now? I’m absolutely paying the 35 bucks for the whole thing.
The guys at lunch today started talking politics. I just smiled and said “yeah” a lot. I’m just not in the mood lately.
Since this [...]
