For the adventurous, give these a try. Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes. Those three words, in that order, may be the three greatest words in the English language. If you like chocolate and Guinness and cupcakes, that is. 😆
On the Joys of Comment Spammery
The worst part about keeping a blog is the comment spam. Spam is a fact of life online. Junk e-mail is a bane of existence. But the worst thing of all is comment spam. Comment spam works like this. Someone posts a comment in your blog advertising something. It could be a weight loss program.Continue reading “On the Joys of Comment Spammery”
On Random Saturday Things
I like post offices with gift shops. The Elderburg post office has a nice gift shop. They had all sorts of collectible things. I bought a postcard set. And Edgar Allan Poe stamps. I bought a picture frame. My mother gave me a photograph of my grandfather; it’s from the early 1940’s, and he’s inContinue reading “On Random Saturday Things”
On Saturday Morning Tragedies
Weekend Edition with Scott Simon is on the radio. I have my first cup of coffee sitting on the desk in front of me. But I don’t have a donut. There was one. A chocolate donut. It was glazed. I remember seeing it. And it’s gone. The plastic container, it was still there. But thereContinue reading “On Saturday Morning Tragedies”
On New LEGO Games
Let’s be upfront, here. I love LEGO. 🙂 I also love the LEGO video games. Though I haven’t played LEGO Batman, so I don’t know if that’s good or if it’s crap. That’s okay, though. It looks like Travelers Tales, the development studio behind such hits as LEGO Star Wars, is looking to develop moreContinue reading “On New LEGO Games”
On Ari Fleischer’s Revisionism
Years ago, when I read The Dark Knight Strikes Again, there was a line near the end of the third issue where George Bush’s Press Secretary, Ari Fleischer says “The President doesn’t have to say dick to you media pansies.” As satirical as Frank Miller’s story was, Miller hit really close to the mark; theContinue reading “On Ari Fleischer’s Revisionism”
On Frank Miller’s Charlie Brown
Okay, this is too weird. If Frank Miller drew Peanuts, what would it look like? Someone actually imagined this. Frank Miller’s Charlie Brown.
On Why I Hate Daylight Savings Time
Dear Daylight Savings Time, Please go away. I want Standard Time back. I want Standard Time back now. You have wrecked my sleep schedule. I can’t get up in the mornings with Standard Time. I definitely can’t get up with you. Yes, I like that it’s daylight when I leave the office. That’s nice. But,Continue reading “On Why I Hate Daylight Savings Time”
On Nathan Fillion’s New Series
I watched the premiere of Castle on ABC last night. It’s a series starring Firefly‘s Nathan Fillion as a best-selling mystery novelist. When some bodies turn up in New York City, killed using the methods he wrote about in some of his earlier novels, the NYPD turns to him as a consultant. It was goofy.Continue reading “On Nathan Fillion’s New Series”
On the Monday Morning View
Ever have a day where you feel like something… momentous is going to happen? Today is one of those days. The world had a different… quality today. Maybe it’s the seagulls flying overhead. Maybe it’s the feeling of springtime and sunshine. Maybe the air feels different. Maybe it’s that I decided to wear a necktieContinue reading “On the Monday Morning View”
