Just got back from another meeting of the writing group, 5 people strong tonight.  We missed a month, so it’s been just over 2 months, which is about how long it’s been since Sabina was stolen.  How time flies.
It amazes me how I can be so lethargic and lazy and other l-worded about writing when [...]

Given that I’ve never worked as a waiter (except for that stint as a fill-in during Magazine’s opening night), I can’t say that I have intimate first-hand knowledge of the content…but if while watching Office Space, you ever wondered what daily life was like for the folks over at Chotchkie’s…well, watch Waiting.
It’s rude, crass and [...]

After a week of misaligned schedules and me trying to figure out a decent riding position in the trainer, I took the bike out onto pavement for the first time last night.  We went down and rode a lot of the NLR side of the river trail.  Contrary to all my pre-ride nervousness, nothing broke, [...]

ok, so..um…have a little patience. I took the plunge and after about 6-7 hours total of cursing, hair-pulling and complete destruction, trickery and hope…I’ve finally converted to Wordpress. I saw my webhost offered it, and I forget why I even thought of changing, cause it was a spur of the moment decision on [...]

…the more I discover my musical tastes have expanded, but haven’t changed. The ‘new’ car has a factory cd player plus tape deck. I happened to see a tape sitting on a table the other day and decided I’d play it in the car, since I haven’t gotten around to making new cds [...]

Wow.
I’ve found it to be a pretty reliable constant that my film picks pretty much go hand-in-hand with the snooty reviewer-types. Not that I consider myself snooty or a reviewer-type, but it just seems to happen that way.
Comedies are different, because deep down, everyone can appreciate low-brow humor, but saying that the latest Billy [...]

Well, for anyone who happens to think that the Religious Right is scary in Arkansas, I invite them to travel through Southeast Missouri sometime. 

So for as pack ratty and ordinarily cluttered as I am, I get weird about some things…like not wanting to take more than one bag on the road with me, even if it’s just to work. I’ll grab the laptop, mouse, power adapter, network cables and whatnot out of the designated laptop bag, and [...]

There’s gonna be a consistent thread in my next few mixes I think. Just finished watching Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns) and am way happy about it. I’ve liked the band for the past dozen or so years (talk about feeling old), but watching something that’s more in-depth than a simple allmusic.com [...]

Am watching Cache tonight. Very slow moving, deliberate film. According to my DVD player, it’s at about 1:28:50 that my jaw dropped. Seriously, my jaw dropped, then I let out a weird, confused laughter that I do when I experience something way out of my realm of expectation, and then my jaw [...]
