Yet Another Squatch Rant

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

     ello again folks. It’s the Squatch, letting you crazy kids have another dose of vitriol, bile, candy and unicorns.
     I know we all have pet peeves. We all have a few things that just make us nutty, and left with a desire to quietly explode. I nurture mine. Feed them regularly, water them, long walks, belly [...]

     o, I’m puttering about Casa del Java today, doing my chores and such, bopping along to music and playing with the dog, just generally having a good day. In the back of my head, I’m kicking around the plot of a short story I’m putting together, and I’m thinking, okay, so the character is fortyish [...]

The Show Ain’t Over ‘Til . . .

Monday, April 21st, 2008

     urrent desktop wallpaper: –>
     This three hundred and fifty pound woman shows up at a run-down circus, looking for a job as a flying trapeze artist. The incredulous ringmaster gives her an audition, and is so impressed he tells her she’s hired. There’s one condition: she goes on last. On opening night, the other acts are [...]

A Toast! (29)

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

     ack in the day, I lived with the (1st) ex in a run-down, nasty little trailer in the wilderness of northern Michigan. Actually, the property was really nice, back in the woods, near state land. The trailer was a shit hole, but it was a nice location.
     My ex — we’ll call him “Dee”, which is [...]

     azz’s new greatest joy in life, particularly now that it’s gotten nice enough to open the windows, is to sit in front of the window she can see out of, and bark at everything that goes on. It’s like I have a grumpy little old lady with binoculars instead of a Jack Russel. She’ll sit [...]

A Story, and Linkage

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

     irst, let there be a brief story:
     Upon moving into my own apartment, I discovered that I was suddenly lacking in a multitude of necessary items, one of which being a microwave. I remedied this lack by purchasing the floor model of a very cheap microwave at the local Wal-Mart. Predictably, it did not work. Since [...]

Mid-Western Bitterness

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

     ut the truth is, is that, our challenge is to get people persuaded that we can make progress when there’s not evidence of that in their daily lives. You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for [...]

There IS Something Besides A Primary Going On, Right?

Monday, April 14th, 2008

      can’t be the only person who is balls-out sick and fucking tired of the primary coverage, can I? I mean, is there actually any substantive difference between these three candidates to be worth talking about? Do we actually believe that any of these three people can accomplish anything helpful or useful towards our current [...]
