To bling ring in the New Year, we’ve decided against the de-Clark’d Regis-athon. Instead, we are making fun of the silly celebrities on MTV’s Iced Out New Year. Our champagne has been modified accordingly … Word.
Like a balloon, perhaps. One sloooooowly inflated by an asthmatic. In further recognition of their own error of installing faulty logic books in several iBooks produced in 2002 (including mine), Apple has extended again their warranty coverage of these ill-fated devices. I must use the word “extension” lightly, because this extension feels more like a …
“I presume that we are in pretty good shape. I think our location in the world is such that we may be less vulnerable than other parts, but I am not a geologist, as you know,” Bush told reporters in Crawford, Texas.* Heck of a presumption, really. Actually, we’re only covered by half. If you’re …
The workplace stillness produced by this valley between Christmas and New Year’s Day has inspired in me an unsuspected interest in self-motivation. I still think Chicken Soup is meant to be eaten and Stephen Covey’s plastic smile creeps me out, so don’t expect to find me at the next Tony Robbins seminar. However, the idea …

I got a couple of sweaters (very classy and actually needed), some …
When I was nine, my older brother gave me a 45rpm record. While always generous of heart and spirit, my brother was never much of a giver of material things … at least not when we were living under the same roof. He wasn’t stingy, I don’t guess. I think he just wanted to teach …
There is a thread over at AskMe about imagined double-bills. I like some of the ideas so far, but others just lack imagination. In a matter of minutes, I was able to come up with a good handful, so I’m sticking them here for safe-keeping and possible movie nights to be had later. Brother John …
Waves of unicorns crashing on the shore? Yes. Storyboards from Peter S. Beagle’s The Last Unicorn, now in development.
Tonight is forecasted as our coldest so far. Bundle up. Hold a loved one. Grab a pet. I’ve finished another mix. This one is unexpectedly seasonal, or perhaps just thematically chilled out.
