Conan O’Bacon’s Avatar Is Wearing an Umbrella Hat

Conan O’Brien tells NBC to pound sand. He didn’t, of course. He was far more polite and diplomatic but he emphatically stated he no longer wanted to be the host of The Tonight Show on NBC if it appeared at 12:05 AM. Good for him. I think everyone’s on his side except NBC and possibly […]

US Supreme Court and Sports (Post 1 of 2)

This is a sports related post. If you’re not into sports, this entry will be of no interest to you. I will make a separate entry with my non-sports topic. As most of you American readers know, a huge battle is about to be waged in the US Supreme Court. It’s a very small item. […]

The Rest of Today’s Post (Post 2 of 2)

This is the non-sports related post. If you’re into sports, the entry I made earlier today will be of interest to you. Otherwise, don’t bother. First, I had mentioned I’ve got a new laptop for work. I noticed it was starting to get scratches on it from being in unfriendly environments such as backpacks, desk, […]

Avatar: The Hype vs The Reality

So I saw Avatar today with Karen, Liz, Timmy, David, Kathy, and William. Post is pretty much spoiler free. This movie has been overhyped so I was not expecting so much from it. I knew it would be visually amazing, but with a slim story. I thought it would never live up to the hype. […]

All Our Allah Are Belong to Us

A quick update on the toe: it’s still attached to my body, and it still hurts. Thanks for asking.  In unrelated news, my throat hurts. Two days ago I made this Stouffer’s Easy Express Skillets Yankee Pot Roast. This is, by far, the most disgusting, repulsive, nasty, frozen entrée I have ever eaten in my life. […]

It’s A Quarter Million!

It’s official. I’ve broken the quarter-million mark. 17 October 2004 was the start date. I passed the quarter million mark 2 Jan 2010. Congratulations to me. And thanks to all of you for putting up with this blog listening to what I have to say and sometimes even commenting on it. And now on with […]

This is an Untitled Post because I couldn’t think of one

Before I begin, I have two random comments: The second (and final) batch of London pictures are posted, BTW. Right, then, I’m glad Christmas is over. Not my favourite time of year. First, it lasts too long, starting before Halloween now and it’s infused with Christmas music. I abhor most of the music. Bah, humbug. […]

Just A Few Notes

The pictures of the London trip will appear on Flickr today and tomorrow. There are about 12 of 226 I will post. The rest are on request only. My broken toe photo is also there but it’s restricted to friends and family only. First up we have a peeve of mine. I hate people who […]

Day Ten: Wasting a Day with TSA (End of trip)

Today started at 630am London Time (130am Eastern Time) and I’m writing this at 9pm Eastern Time which is 2am London Time so I’m creeping up on 24 hours. We woke up and packed and whatnot, going down for breakfast at 730am in the hotel’s overpriced buffet. We then checked out and called the bellman […]

Day Nine: A Toe’s Guide to London

Fucking hell. Around quarter four this morning, I awakened and had to rush to the WC to spend a penny (aka run to the can to take a piss). As it was urgent, I didn’t turn on the lights, and managed to stub my toe on the coffee table or perhaps the chest of drawers. […]
