Brilliance in five minute doses.
Sunday, July 31st, 2005I've raved about how awesome Channel 101 and Channel 102 are, right? It's a simple concept: people send in five minute TV shows, and the most popular ones come back and make the next episode. One day, I'll be motivated to participate. Until then, I'm simply in love with Teen Homicide ...
Obligatory Del Close Marathon Recap.
Thursday, July 28th, 2005Why haven't I blogged about the DCM yet? I just haven't felt like it. I'm exhausted. I need to stop taking vacations that are far more stressful than my actual life. Now, therefore, be it resolved. Of course, I had a wonderful time and loved every minute I spent with old ...
Scott Jennings, Ken Jennings. Ken Jennings, Scott Jennings
Thursday, July 21st, 2005Seriously, no shit here. Katy and I were walking towards the Central Park Summerstage to watch the big ASSSSCAT show, and we pass a nondescript dude in a ringer t-shirt carrying a bag of takeout. She asks, "did we just pass Ken Jennings?" and I'm off like a bolt. I ...
Hootie 1996-2005
Tuesday, July 19th, 2005I wasn't expecting to eulogize a cat today. Hootie seemed to be getting over whatever illness he had over the weekend, and he was walking around and climbing last night just fine. This morning, he was dead on the bathroom floor. Hootie was my mom's cat, and it was my job ...
Yes, I know every episode title of his show is a pun.
Friday, July 15th, 2005Wow, what a shit-crazy week that was! But it's all over now, and I'm at home in my living room on my couch with a tall glass of ice water, getting ready to watch about a dozen episodes of Good Eats off my DVR. Oh, Alton Brown! Swoon!
Gary Meadows? Of course… but I don’t see what that…
Wednesday, July 13th, 2005It's been really really busy around the office. They say it takes thirty days for the brain to adapt to new habits, and I'm right around Week 3: Stress & Chaos. But I don't blog about work, I just explain why I don't blog. But Kit has tagged me, and I ...
All outta ammo.
Wednesday, July 6th, 2005Vice Adm. James Stockdale is dead at 81. Easily my favorite vice-presidential candidate of all time, and the namesake for my first Linux machine. Also a balls-of-steel real fucking man — no doubt he deserved to die on the Fourth of July, but he took one more day just because he ...
7/4 made possible by 9/11.
Tuesday, July 5th, 2005Regency Park was the setting for a picnic lunch and a perfectly acceptable Independence Day celebration. Here are photographs, with expository captions: Callie and I pose for a photograph with Uncle Sam. The model boat regatta. Thrilling, down to the wire racing action. I believe this took place concurrent with the local ...
