Recently we have embarked on a new leisure activity with our friends in the form of a fondue pot. Yes, we have gone old-school 70s style minus the disco and atrocious avocado-colored decor. We gather once every week or two and settle in for a long, social meal. There is much laughter to be had. […]

summary of random thoughts flying through my head
For those of you that don’t know — and I’m sure most of you do — all the house stuff is chugging along as planned. We’ve signed a contract with the closing date of March 28th and are working toward settling the financing and finding a subleaser. If you’re interested, pop over here and have […]
invention
Someday I’m going to invent high-heeled shoes that not only give you height but also keep trans-campus hikes from murdering your feet. That way I will not only be rich, I will have more comfortable strolls to the greenhouses — and stay tall whilst doing so.

Ahh, it’s been another bit of a while since I last posted, hasn’t it? Well, let’s just attribute that to the fact that I’m working again. It certainly isn’t laziness. Yeah. February is turning into quite a month. Not only is there a new job in the family, there is the potential for a new […]
back to college
Hmm, yeah, so I haven’t written in a while. Sorry about that. I’ve been staring at my phone for the past two weeks, willing it to ring. On Tuesday, it finally did. Now, I am proud to announce that after six months of suspecting, a month of preparing, thirty minutes of interviewing, an intense moment […]
hey, is that a cat hanging from your forehead or are you just happy to see me?
I’ve written before about Renton’s recent habit of sleeping on my pillow at night. I guess it’s not so recent now; he’s been doing it for quite a few months. There’s never been a problem with it. If he takes up too much room I just head-butt him a bit. Problem solved. Unfortunately, Renton never […]
Dear Sir:
Sometimes I think we, as humans, tend to look back at the past through rose-colored glasses. We don’t see the wars and the crimes and the uncertainty. All we see is nostalgia. All we remember are the good times when we were safe and how our nation prevailed over Evil. We beat our chests and […]
I apparently slept through the 90s
The Christmas holidays are finally coming to a halt around here. Everyone is back in town and heading back to school and/or work. Glad to see my friends again. ________________________ One of my childhood memories is of my parents playing Trivial Pursuit; sometimes with friends, other times by themselves. I imagine it in my mind […]
you poo-faced proctologist
Just letting y’all know that I’ve got some new pictures up at Crunchy Images. They’re mostly of our New Year’s festivities. We had a blast with big-butt sparklers and huge fireworks. _________________________ After the fireworks were over and we moved into the year 2005, we all sat down with Mom and Dad while Cathy surfed […]
generic after-christmas entry
Ahh, we are back from Christmastime in Birmingham and I’ve enough books to keep me in reading material for a good three weeks or so. Steven is up to his ears in computer games so he will be busy as well. Renton and Hermione were loaded up with catnip toys; they were literally bouncing off […]
