Shamelessly stolen from Ross and others: What TV show(s) do you find yourself watching the most?Presently, not that many. The only ones I’m building my week around these days are Boston Legal and House. Television, just not that important to me these days. What if any TV shows do you own on DVD?Chittering Cthulhu, thereContinue reading “On Television Shows”
On Philosophy Moments
First. Parkinson’s Law is a lie — there comes a point where you simply cannot draw work out any more to fill the time alloted. Second. There’s a special level of hell reserved for me. Third. We have a President that firmly believes in the Divine Right of Kings. However, he is neither divine, norContinue reading “On Philosophy Moments”
On Morning Coffee
There’s a Dunkin Donuts about two blocks from where I work. I stopped there this morning, bought two donuts and a large coffee. Dunkin Donuts has a plan–they want to take down Starbucks, and I’ve always been partial to Dunkin Donuts coffee. It’s cheaper than Starbucks, it’s not as fancy as Starbucks, and if youContinue reading “On Morning Coffee”
On the End of "The Boondocks"
I discovered Aaron McGruder’s comic strip, The Boondocks, in 1999, about the time of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. It was an amazingly funny comic strip about the lives of two young black boys–Huey and Riley–who moved from the projects to live in the ‘burbs with their grandfather, and their culture shock in dealing withContinue reading “On the End of "The Boondocks"”
On Chewbacca
Chewbacca has a blog. That is all. 😆
On the Work Day
Today felt unproductive. At the end of the day it wasn’t that bad. I actually accomplished a lot. It just felt bad. Where I worked last week — well, that room had been gutted for a remodel over the weekend. So, it took some time to find a new place to plant the team. AndContinue reading “On the Work Day”
On Watching Doctor Who
While I have “The Sontaran Experiment” and “Genesis of the Daleks” on video tape, last night I tuned in to public television at midnight to watch them. Why? Nostalgia. 🙂 I grew up watching Doctor Who on Saturday afternoons on public television. In high school I watched it late Saturday nights. Doctor Who on publicContinue reading “On Watching Doctor Who”
On Fells Point
I started my temp job in Fells Point last week. I haven’t had much of a chance to explore it, yet. As a Homicide fan I think it’s quite cool to be working in Fells Point. Indeed, I drove down Bayliss Street just the other day. I’m not supposed to talk about my job —Continue reading “On Fells Point”
On Random Questions
Swiped from Keith, a bunch of random questions! In five words, explain what ended your last friendship? He stopped returning my calls. How was your prom night? It was adequate. I went by myself, which is what all the friends in my group did. Do you have any famous relatives? Not that I know of….Continue reading “On Random Questions”
On Gran Turismo: HD
Here’s another reason to dislike Sony and their PlayStation 3 plans: Gran Turismo: HD will cost players an arm and a leg to play. The current rage in online gaming is microtransactions. Because consoles–like the Xbox, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3–have hard drives and online capabilities, users can purchase content for their games and downloadContinue reading “On Gran Turismo: HD”
