My brain feels like mush. Headache. Sleepy. Mush. * * * * * Today is Thursday? I don’t pretend to understand. The week’s gone by in a blur. The days have blended together. I blame the mush. * * * * * I picked up a book over the weekend. I knew, before I boughtContinue reading “On Mental Mush”
On an Honor Too Awesome For Words
In San Francisco, they want to memorialize President George W. Bush. But this would be no ordinary memorial. Not a school, or a federal courthouse, or a stretch of interstate highway. This would be a sewage plant. The George W. Bush Sewage Plant: [A] group going by the regal-sounding name of the Presidential Memorial CommissionContinue reading “On an Honor Too Awesome For Words”
On George Carlin
Somewhere, Thomas the Tank Engine bows his head. Mr. Conductor has left the station one last time.
On Comics Musings
I’ve never had any real interest in writing comics. Except for Hawkman. I don’t know what it is about Hawkman, but I just love Hawkman. In particular, I love what Tim Truman, John Ostrander, and Graham Nolan did on Hawkworld in the early 1990s, even though that’s the point where DC Comics took Hawkman continuityContinue reading “On Comics Musings”
On Life Annoyances
I have a poison ivy rash on my wrist. It itches. Oh, does it itch. It itches bad. It itches so bad. Is that grammatically correct? I think not… Itch! I hate itch. Blech.
On Viva La Vida
Coldplay’s fourth studio album, Viva La Vida, or Death and All His Friends, came out on Tuesday. It was thanks to either Mojo or Q that I discovered Coldplay. Probably through a concert review, and whatever was said was intriguing enough that I imported The Blue Room from the UK. So, after Parachutes and “Yellow,”Continue reading “On Viva La Vida”

On Bloggery
It’s possible that someone browsing through my website in, oh, the past twelve hours came across a really different look for the blog. Something… pink. There’s a story there. Yesterday afternoon, while checking out the WordPress support forums, I found a post from someone asking how difficult it would be to port her theme forContinue reading “On Bloggery”
On Religious Inertia
Sometimes you find interesting material without even looking. Take this, for instance. I was reading an article on how a Brooklyn band claims that Coldplay plagiarized one of their songs for “Viva La Vida,”, when I found this article — “Christianity Could Die Out Within a Century.” That’s far more interesting to me. 🙂 Take,Continue reading “On Religious Inertia”
On Firefox Follies
On Tuesday the Mozilla Corporation decided to set a world-record for number of downloads in a day for their new Firefox 3 web browser. Even though I love Opera and would never, ever part from it, I decided I would do my part and download Firefox 3, to help Mozilla set their record. Of course,Continue reading “On Firefox Follies”
