John Lennon tried to tell me something today. I was buying a greeting card in a drug store, and as I made my decision the muzak switched over to a John Lennon song that captured perfectly the mood of the greeting card I wanted to purchase. I won’t say which song. Just that it wasContinue reading “On a Serendipitous Happening”
Just an Observation
Sometimes I feel like I should’ve taken up kickboxing.

On Being Wowed
I’ve been reading Daily Kos for a really long time. I registered for an account to post comments, and I think I may have posted five or six. Today I posted a diary. My first. It’s Keith‘s fault, really. He linked to a YouTube video of Keith Olbermann’s latest Special Comment. I watched the video,Continue reading “On Being Wowed”
On Taking Deep Breaths
I will not get medieval on someone’s ass. I will not get medieval on someone’s ass. I will not get medieval on someone’s ass. I am tired of people who think Doctor Who is a series about Rose.

On Playing Twenty Questions

Rather, it came through MSN, and I don’t knowContinue reading “On a Strange Search Phrase”
On the Morning Blahs
One of those mornings, when I can’t get out of bed. Blah. One of those mornings where I dreamt the alarm going off, where I dreamt hitting the snooze button five or six times. I hate those nested awakenings. Blah. We may see snow flurries today. Better than yesterday’s rainy, blustery day. Blah. My coffeeContinue reading “On the Morning Blahs”
On Sudoku
I own a Nintendo DS, the limited edition red DS system they released with Mario Kart DS. I love my DS. I love the color, that solid, vibrant red. It looks classy, not girlie or gay as Marc Klein called it at last year’s Shore Leave. It’s funny. I may have scoffed at the ideaContinue reading “On Sudoku”
On Making Notes for the Future
Note to self: Do not blindly write an .htaccess file if you’ve never done so before. Get it wrong, and your webpage won’t load, doofus. Unique and interesting failure modes, indeed!
