Not all that long after getting the new car, in a color close enough to “TARDIS Blue”, I decided to go all in and get a custom plate: Full size/etc here: https://flic.kr/p/nYZR5m The things I do for a cheap laugh.

Dalock
Been wanting to do this for a while – finally got around to it. I made a Dr. Who / Dalek themed lock screen for my Samsung Galaxy SIII. Behold: Dalock! Yeah. Sometimes you need to take an (in)sanity break and do something dumb/wonderful. Go here if you want to use it for your phone.… Continue reading Dalock
Hobbitception
Nerds. Love nerds. It’s really neat how fans and the subjects of their fandom can connect. Still stupid excited for December.

In the Game of Cakes, You Bake or you Die
Last night, Bea was baking what I’m sure will promise to be a wonderfully delicious chocolate Guinness cake. I was ready to go to sleep, but it still needed some somewhat-time-sensitive tending to. So, she said “If you don’t mind I’m going to catch up on watching Game of Thrones while waiting for the cake.”… Continue reading In the Game of Cakes, You Bake or you Die
Slow Yo’ Roll
While I’m not an overall fan of the traffic cameras, I do support them in school zones. From nola.com: On March 12, officials plan to activate 11 new cameras around town, almost all of them in school zones. They will be the first new cameras in more than a year, and Landrieu’s chief administrative… Continue reading Slow Yo’ Roll
ABBA: One of Life’s Little Indulgences
Everyone has their little indulgences, their own dirty little secrets. One of mine is an ABBA tribute album by various metal artists. And I think it’s vastly superior to the originals. Not that I’m a big ABBA fan, but when the originals come on via shuffle, all I can think about is how much better… Continue reading ABBA: One of Life’s Little Indulgences
And there was much Rambling
Despite a run-in or two with the Po-Po which basically amounted to them telling us to get out of the way, Mardi Gras this year with my krewe – the St. Anthony Ramblers – was pretty smooth and a lot of fun. As usual the Panorama Brass Band was great, and everyone seemed to have… Continue reading And there was much Rambling
Brace Yourselves. Mardi Gras is coming.
Thank you, Imminent Ned. I made the above image the other morning after seeing something similar on r/NewOrleans. Yes, Mardi Gras approaches (Holy Crap, Krewe du Vieux is Saturday!), and I’ve been immersing myself in Game of Thrones and work. And mead. I’ve almost finished book five of GoT, and I’ll never finish the mead… Continue reading Brace Yourselves. Mardi Gras is coming.
Creepin’ up to the highschool like a chester…
My friend Neil (@ntraft) currently has his instant messenger status as: “Dude, this van is like rolling probable cause.” I sent that along to the other bearded computer/bicycle/D&D nerd Will™* who actually has what would easily pass for a child molester van, and his response was equally good: “ha maybe one day i’ll paint it… Continue reading Creepin’ up to the highschool like a chester…
