I had this burning desire to post some really personal stuff here, specifically a few things that were on my mind. That’s what blogs are for. I wanted to make a post and I didn’t make it because I was afraid a particular person might read it, or maybe a particular group of people. Blogging […]
In a somewhat surprising revelation JK Rowling has revealed Albus Dumbledore was gay. I laughed when I first heard it, thinking it was a joke. Then I thought “that’s great” because it’ll perhaps bring a bit more tolerance to those intolerant twits who think being gay is an issue. Then I asked, “why is she […]
… and I just don’t like most people anymore. Not that anyone out there in blog-land cares. But my faith in people continues to drop. I suppose I need to upgrade a few of the people I hang around with or maybe just expect less so I’m not disappointed. I got an email from the […]
I had dinner last night with someone I hadn’t seen in about 20 years. I’m still trying to figure out the exact date. Randy Barris. I had a really great time. He came over around 515pm right after I got home from work — a good 30 minutes before I figured he’d get there — […]
For an interesting discussion, I give you this story and this related story. Madison Square Garden (owner of the NHL’s NY Rangers) has sued the parent league, the NHL. This is interesting as hell to me, and has a great deal of significance to hockey fans everywhere. The NHL, this year, took over every team’s […]
The US is nearing its credit limit according to Henry Paulson, the treasury secretary. Yes, not only have the past seven years turned us from a budget surplus to being in the hole, that hole is now $8.9 trillion dollars. Trillion. With a “T” to be exact. Or in numbers that’s $8,965,000,000,000 — which is […]
The headline and editorial ran thusly: “Taser this FUCK BUSH” I will withhold comment on the lack of proper punctuation in said headline. That was the entirety of a four-word column in the student-run Rocky Mountain Collegian. I think that’s great. But in response to the headline, it’s way too juvenile for a professional newspaper […]
In an earlier post I had said Family Guy jumped the shark, and true, it’s been pretty sucky lately. But the new season première take on Star Wars was utterly, and completely brilliant. This may have been the best episode of the show. Ever. It’s a scarily faithful retelling of the original Star Wars (episode […]
When asked to speculate on the cause of death, police were silent. Family members asked had no comment. Other mimes were quiet on the subject.
Dear God Almighty. I was at BJ’s Wholesale today to buy some bulk stuff for work — this is a routine event. Today, I wish to point out is 22 September 2007. They had artificial Christmas trees, wrapping, decorations, and were playing Christmas music. It’s 93 days away. Save us all from holiday creep. How […]
