In case you’d lost faith, a tard story.

Katy and I had dinner at 35 Chinese Restaurant, a Chinese buffet place on Franklin. Oh, there was rice and Malaysian curry and dumplings and lo mein and all sort of delicious quasi-Asian food. A fine meal, to be sure. So I wanted a little soft-serve ice cream for dessert, since ...

A brief profanity-laden tirade.

Oh, dear Christ, why?! WHY?! Son of a whore! You fucking primadonna pot-smoking worthless overrated piece of shit! WHY?! Oh, woe unto my Dolphins. Miami has the Dolphins, the fucking flakiest piece-of-shit football team.

T-bird SMASH!

My car's acting up again, doing the thing where it stalls out when I give it gas from a stop. It only does it right after I start it cold, it doesn't matter how much I warm it up, and it only does it once. After I get it started ...

Sometimes we just need to pause and remind ourselves.

I wrote this nearly two years ago, but it's as true now as it was then: When you travel through time to the future, you can't possibly be seeing the actual future, since it's a future that happened without you. You're seeing an alternate timeline that took place after you suddenly ...

Have you seen Rate My Kitten? It's brilliant. I submitted Hootie, because he's a precious precious kitten. 10! 10!

Katy Jack finally has a functioning website on her own domain name. Good for her. (Webhosting, domain name registration and setup, Movable Type installation/tweaking, CSS tweaking, and all heavy lifting by me, Scott Jennings, competent web technology authority and all-around fantastic guy.)

Back the fuck off, old woman.

I can't believe my blog is under attack from Lisa Palmisano. But fine, woman, here's what keeps me busy: The grill situation has reached new obsessive heights. On Tuesday, I slow-roasted a pair of chickens over hickory, which were absolutely amazing. I also made barbecue sauce, South Carolina style, with mustard. ...

You loooooooooooove the Diplomat.

Wednesday, July 7th, 2004

Mister Diplomat brings the show to YOU tonight, assuming YOU live in Wake County. We'll be at Kings Barcade at 424 South McDowell Street in downtown Raleigh. Show starts at 9pm. Cover is $3. (Cheap!) This might be a continuing Wednesday night thing for the month of July, or this might ...

Arooooooooooooo!

I love my new grill, and I love being immature. Below, my raw meat is placed over the alluring heat: I keep my meat moving over the heat, constrained by the border in which Katy's camera phone has me trapped, while pondering this puerile metaphor: Drippings from my meat make the fire ...

Ben Moser, I need your help for half of this.

Ok: so I'm a slightly-less-than-open fan of Trading Spaces on TLC. It's not like I'm nutso for it or anything, but I watch the reruns when I'm home and there's nothing else on, and the host Paige Davis is a total hottie. So, imagine my delight when I discovered that our ...
