christmas day

Christmas Day was much better than I had anticipated. This should come as no surprise to anyone who knows me, because I always expect the worst and am surprised when it doesn’t happen. Because we did the family deal last Wednesday, there was no pressure to do anything or go anywhere. I woke up fairly […]

christmas eve

I was lucky enough to spend Christmas Eve with the Rudnitski’s last night. I managed to arrive a half hour late because of the 3 inches of ice covering all the sidewalks and my complete inability to read directions (Karen writes excellent directions which, if read, are simple to follow), leading me to overshoot the […]

merry christmas!

Merry Christmas all! It was funny, I was rummaging throw a box earlier today (well, yesterday I guess) and came across this pic. In addition to being Christmas-themed (it’s the kids table at Christmas dinner with the fam), please note that I actually had hair. I was probably 12 in this pic – four years […]

christmas carols by mental disorder

This one has been going around. I don’t remember seeing it before, but it’s probably an oldie. It made me laugh, and I think my faves are “Paranoid” and “Obsessive Compulsive Disorder”.

Sometimes handles make you think different. I saw the title to this entry on slashdot, and thought it was addressed to me. It wasn’t. I really must learn to delineate the real world and the interweeb.

tell me why

I know why I don’t like Mondays, so I guess I don’t really need anyone to tell me. Today was one of those long, tiring, annoying Mondays that start off poorly at 5am. I can’t go into specifics for a couple of reasons, but thankfully things got better at the end of the day. I […]

always bet on vanilla… or not.

Hrmm… Mike‘s blog closes posts after a certain amount of time (presumably to cut down on comment spam), but doesn’t tell you until after you’ve spent a couple minutes typing it all out. Frustrating. In any event, because I refuse to throw away those two minutes of my life, here’s my comment to one of […]

on the NHLPA and 4 year olds

Mat pointed me to this post comparing NHL hockey players to his 4 year old. It’s pretty much spot-on, but it doesn’t adequately address the ownership’s irresponsibility that led to this, because you know that there are enough idiot parents out there who can’t think past their nose, and will continue to spoil the kids […]
