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”
On Bush and Oil Drilling
There’s a political webcomic I enjoy reading, A Town Called Dobson. Today’s comic is about Bush’s call to Congress to lift the ban on off-shore oil drilling and to open the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge. Bush’s argument is that high gasoline prices mean that we need to increase our own production. That will bring downContinue reading “On Bush and Oil Drilling”
On Opening the Floor
I’ve not this in, oh, a couple of months, so let’s pull it out of mothballs. What do you want to know? It could be about me personally. It could be about my opinion on something. Anything you’ve ever wondered. Anything you’d like to talk about. What do you want to know? The floor’s open.Continue reading “On Opening the Floor”
On Hank Steinbrenner’s Rantings
Dear Hank Steinbrenner, You’ve ranted recently, sir, about how the National League needs to “join the modern age.” I realize you’re angry. You lost one of your starting pitchers to a base-running injury. You’re seeing your post-season hopes go down the drain. “The pitcher has enough work to do,” you said. Translation: pitchers shouldn’t beContinue reading “On Hank Steinbrenner’s Rantings”
On Waiting for Bilbo
Years ago, I liked to read the webcomic Waiting for Frodo. The story of Sam and Gladys and their adventures as they waited in line for each of the Lord of the Rings films, it was funny and cute and charming. Now, the sequel has debuted — Waiting for Bilbo. Of course, we’re still severalContinue reading “On Waiting for Bilbo”
