rJames loved his coloring book. We — “we” being Art, myself, Squatch, and VC — had a good time hanging out with MrJames Tuesday night, chatting and watching TV and so forth. Art and I made sure to get up at 6:30am the next morning to see MrJames off when his folks came to pick [...]

     omorrow morning, MrJames leaves the state. He’ll be traveling with his mom to Florida for a month, to visit the relatives down there, and then flying to Oregon at the end of April. Once there, he’ll get to work on building a new life for himself.
     MrJames has lived with us for a bit over a [...]

     ongress, finally, appears to have the Bush White House in their cross hairs. Among other things, Congress issued subpoenas today to interview Karl Rove and other White House officials over the United States Attorney firings. And about damn time, too.

It’s apparently a WoW comic (so I’m told, I’m one of the few who don’t play), and it’s funny as hell. Richard can be in my group any time. Blastwave is pretty funny, too, [...]

We also went to see 300, which was excellent. Friday we bummed around, mostly, going out for Chinese with Felonious. Saturday my [...]

     fter gaming last night, Art, MrJames, and I went to catch the midnight premiere of 300 — great movie! I’m not going to bother with spoiler warnings, as there isn’t a whole hell of a lot of spoiling to do with this movie.

     ere’s a fun one I found via Atrios: Since You Asked. — A left-wing extremist exhibits many, but not necessarily all, of the following attributes . . .
