• when in Rome

  So, I''m in Waynesboro today for work, and I don''t generally like going in Wal-Mart, for various reasons, but I''m in Waynesboro and when in Rome you do as the Romans do, and I''m there to get the new Air and possibly Arcade Fire CDs, and Wal-Mart doesn''t have either [...]

• random shite

  I fulfilled two musical wishes this week - seeing Slayer, and seeing Billy Joel. Weird, I know. Both concerts were everything I'd hoped they'd be. You know how some shows you are ready to be over after about an hour? None of that at either show. Thankfully comments are currently [...]

• What's the difference between politics and WWF ...

  What's the difference between politics and WWF (wrassuhlin!) in this country right now? Also, if a biopic about Hillary Clinton is ever produced, I hope someone has the foresight to cast Christopher Walken as Hillary.

  The application I have been developing as a contractor since September had its deployment to a production environment this morning. Without going into detail, things didnt work out as they should and after getting up at 3:30, driving over the mountain, and getting in around 4:30 to be onsite in [...]

• "a detached air of superiority"

  Here is roughly how my interaction with the people of the Starbucks on 29 went just now:
  
  Me: "I wasn't sure if you guys were open? I don't think I've been in here when the place has been empty."
  
  Girl behind counter: "I think there's something going on in town tonight."
  
  Me: "Oh, [...]

  Robert Anton Wilson, one of the great philosophers (and pranksters) of the 20th century, passed away this morning. His influence on my world-view was immense. Thanks for everything Uncle Bob. [...]

• David Bowie is a vampire

  Yesterday was David Bowie's 60th birthday. Is it really possible that he's only 60? Of course it is. Of course he's younger, and still way cooler, than most of the rockers of his generation. It must be all the fresh young blood he feeds on daily. [...]

  I'm actually surprised it took them so long, but it seems as though THE SPAMMERS have finally found this site. I got about 20 blog comments yesterday advertising Viagra. So, I've taken posting comment page down until I have time to deal with it. [...]

  I had no idea that this movie even existed until today. If it's even 1/2 as spot-on and painfully funny as "Office Space", then I can't wait to experience it. [...]

• first meal of 2007

  It has been a couple of years since I've attempted to make sushi. I have shied away from trying because the previous attempts were thwarted by rice that was far too sticky, ending up in pieces that required exorbitant amounts of chewing, nearly choking the friends that agreed to take [...]
