It’s Giro d’Italia time. Time to listen/watch the race in the morning via web stream while listening to what I imagine to be small, funny-looking european men shout at me in Italian. This year is going to be a crazy race. Im not going to go into any predictions or analysis of the race. I’ll… Continue reading il portello è fatto di minestra.

Chris Bozeman
According to Sonny‘s sources, Chris Bozeman died of heart failure. His heart just stopped beating. Initially, we thought Chris must have had an aneurysm or something of that nature. According to how people found him (lying on the bed/couch, arms crossed in sleep), and to our friend Miguel the doctor, that just wasn’t feasible. According… Continue reading Chris Bozeman

Anyways, her tower is currently in my office, down the hall from hers. I’m running 47 critical/serious patches right now, and doing a general reinstall. Let me… Continue reading Shoot me. Please.

Sypmathy Pains
So, an otherwise good weekend (and what looks to be a similar week) is shadowed by crap. Today, I’ve been having odd shots of pain / spasms running up and down my left arm. My friend Chris (not Rose’s boyfriend, the cyclist) died the other week, and up until this weekend, we (Sonny, Lara, Tara,… Continue reading Sypmathy Pains
