I like this time now. It’s been snowing a while, but there is just a light dusting covering everything, like confectioners sugar on a bakery cake. The remaining light is catching the snow falling just light enough to look like pixies dancing outside the window. If I was just a Continue Reading
What do you do if the subway isn’t coming for another 40 minutes?
I just loved this woman, when I was stuck on the subway the other day during the snowstorm. She had this great look. And dispite sitting there for well over an hour doing… nothing… she maintained a calm, and even cheerful, demeaner.
“With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for Continue Reading
I would like to congratulate Dell on making a move that Apple computer made only 5 years ago, by removing floppy drives from their new computers. Or more precisely, phasing them out. So only 7 years after floppies were truly obsolete has the first major IBM-compat manufacturer started dropping them. Continue Reading
7 dead on the Space Shuttle Columbia 40 dead in a Zimbabwe train crash Over 100,000 rioting in the Ivory Coast What a fucking day.
shit.
One for all the teeny-bopper activists out there:
best comic discussion comment ever: I’ve never put out for comics before … but if someone would give me a full run of “Hitman,” I’d give’em a big sloppy blowjob.
Why do we do stupid shit? Why do I buy a bath tub mat? Because my bath tub is made out of a material that stains too easily. If we have the ability to make a silky shirt that is essentially bullet proof, I don’t believe for a second they Continue Reading
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow… I had plans today. Eastern Market. Hopefully pick up the photo from Joe. Check out the pet store. And groceries of course. Haven’t had fresh food in nearly a month now. Getting a little sick of peanut butter. But this snow Continue Reading
” Last Thursday I was flying to LA on the Midnight flight. I went through security my usual sour stuff. I beeped, of course, and was shuttled to the “toss-em” line. A security guy came over. I assumed the position. I had a button up shirt on that was untucked. Continue Reading
I finally went to the Animal Shelter last week, looking for a cat. And I was right; the right one just stands out. As soon as I saw her, I was in love with this animal. A beautiful cinnamon-colored Abyssinian. I only hope I can get her. They still have Continue Reading
Someone bought me a scale for Christmas. I dunno if this was supposed to be a hint. But if so, it backfired. I was surprised 6 months ago to find out I hadn’t changed weight since college. And when I was given the scale last month, I immediately checked again, Continue Reading
If you have to finish all your emails explaining how they are not truly Spam, then they are Spam. If you base your defense about how they’re not Spam on legislation pending in Congress, you’re stupid. Congress can talk about killing whitey and shafting the spics. Nothing they say matters Continue Reading

There are times where I manage to get outside myself. Where I can stop thinking about my issues, stop thinking about the things that are hurtling towards me. And even the things that are of concern to me. Let’s face it, even those commercials asking you to feed starving children Continue Reading
