I know most people say the phrase “Ah, the joys of home ownership” in a sarcastic tone, but I really enjoy it. I work in computers, and for the most part, don’t get to literally get my hands dirty. There’s just something enjoyable about working with and building/fixing tangible items when the bulk of what… Continue reading The Joys of Home Ownership
1,460 Days and Counting
Well, the web (or at least my little corner of it) is all a-flutter with Katrina posts, as it made landfall 4 years ago. It’s an important event in our lives – not just as New Orleanians or Louisianians specifically, but for Americans and people as a whole. I’m not going to get into a… Continue reading 1,460 Days and Counting
Slurvivor Week
*phew* Red Dress week is over! It’s been a long week, and as much fun as it’s been, I’m glad it’s over. For me, it started on Thursday. The VooDoo hosted a Red Dress Run, hared/led by myself and Fill Me Up (fellow VooDooer) through the Marigny. It was really more of a crawl, but… Continue reading Slurvivor Week
Why Referees and Skaters shouldn’t date
Yesterday, I proposed to Bea. She said “yes”. That’s all for now.
Yo Momma’s so fugly Voldemort won’t speak her name
So, despite having picked up a horrid summer cold, I am still determined to go to the 12:01AM showing of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince tonight. In honor of that, twitter had a “yo mama” style contest, and here are the honorable mentions in all their wizardly glory: JanetVarney: Yo momma so fat the… Continue reading Yo Momma’s so fugly Voldemort won’t speak her name
Good News Everyone!
Good news everyone! I’ve invented a device which makes you read this in your head, in my voice! I know this is old, but it popped in my head and is pretty funny. If you don’t know the reference, click here.
On The Road, Again
After my previous post about Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, my friend Matt directed me to the trailer for the upcoming film adaptation: Holy Simultaneously Grim and Necro, Batman. That aside, a certain shot caught my eye: That’s actual Katrina footage, dirtied up a bit to fit the über-post-apocalyptic setting of The Road. You can… Continue reading On The Road, Again
The Road is a be-a-itch my friend
For my birthday, Bea’s Mom got me a copy of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. It had been recommended to me, but with the caveat that it was quite dark, and could very well leave one depressed. Knowing my tastes and penchant for post-apocalyptic fiction (can we go ahead and just call it speculative fiction? ;)… Continue reading The Road is a be-a-itch my friend
Tennis ist Krieg!
Well, I lied. Tennis is decidedly not metal, but that didn’t stop me yesterday. My friend Alice (aka Diamondgrrl – rollerderby, aka Comissioner Gordon – kickball) and Anne (aka All the Way May – kickball) took me out to City Park, and we tennied. Tennised. Tenniserated. Yeah, tenniserated. I like that – it’s got a… Continue reading Tennis ist Krieg!
Julius: The Green Bondage Monkey
I recently did some laptop repair for an employee of Bicycle Michael’s, and in return, he worked on track bike. Working on my bikes is something I rarely feel like doing these days, and those wheels were in need of a truing. Well, Jon did some great work – even went so far as to… Continue reading Julius: The Green Bondage Monkey
