I’m exhausted. It’s been a long month. It’s been a really long week and a half or so. I’m not even going to mention what a long and irritating year it’s been, except to say, damn will I be glad to see the back of 2006.
I seem to be running out of staff at the [...]
Can Dr. Evil Save the World? — (Jeff Goodell, Rolling Stone) Forget about a future filled with wind farms and hydrogen cars. The Pentagon’s top weaponeer says he has a radical solution that would stop global warming now — no matter how much oil we burn.
”Dr. Evil”, in this case, is Lowell Wood (Linkage: 1, [...]
In the “bookmarks” folder in my web browser, I keep a folder labeled “entry fodder”, where I bookmark stuff that I intend to talk about later. I just checked in there, and . . . yeah. Apparently I’ve been book-marking like crazy, and forgetting all about it. So, let’s weed that crap out of there.
Here’s a little treat for you that I found on YouTube this morning: a FFX video set to POD’s Alive.
The first time I ever heard this song, many, many moons ago, it was in this video. So, some months later, I mentioned that I liked the song, and ViolentClay rolled his eyes disparagingly and snorted, [...]
She drew a line up the underside of her arm with the knife, and blood welled up. She switched hands and drew another line on her other arm, and then, hands dripping, set the knife down. She knelt at the edge of the pool, and plunged her arms in. Blood drifted through the black water [...]
A couple of weeks ago, MrJames located this while trawling the web. Upon seeing it, we all had the exact same reaction: “Omigawd cool! We must do this for the gaming session!”
So, this past Tuesday night, MrJames began building the MeatCake. He bought all the ingredients and cooked three round pans of divine-smelling meatloaf, involving [...]
Here at Casa del Java, we’ve added a new TV program to our collective required viewing list: Dexter. This is a big event, because we aren’t big TV viewers. At least, Art and I aren’t. We watch the Venture Brothers, and that was about it until we found Dexter.
Dexter is a Showtime series. The “hero” [...]
I’m horrifyingly behind on my word count (*sighs*), but I’m also way ahead of where I’ve been the last few years. So, you know, some good, some bad. Hopefully I can catch up some on my days off. This is probably the most I’ve written in ten years, so I shouldn’t bitch.
Jack Palance died today, after ending the Iraq war single-handedly, unarmed, at the age of 87. Well, not entirely unarmed — he did have a toothpick in his left hand. Being right-handed, the wizened actor rationalized that it would be more fair to the 4,800 terrorists he took out. After cleaning out Iraq, Jack briefly [...]
I’m eating a bagel with cinnamon and sugar cream cheese, and of course, both dogs are attached to my side, totally focused on the bagel. Their eyes are intent, their expressions pitiful. Clearly, cruel mistress that I am, I have never before fed these dogs in their whole lives. Omigawd, they tell me, tails wagging [...]
