Over the weekend, my sister and I came up with, I think, an ingenious theory. Now, probably many of you have heard the oft-repeated theory about The Smurfs Are Communist. Well, this sort of resides along those lines, but we go after a different childhood cartoon, and in a slightly different fashion. Ready for it? […]

Give Me Chili Or Give Me Death
There are three basic maxims to follow when you’re cooking chili. Number one: make sure it is not hot outside. Number two: make sure you have all the ingredients. And Number three: make sure you’ve got a pot big enough to hold all of it. Well, I am proud to say that I am sitting […]
Stupid Georgia And An Old Friend
Damn near GameDay! Woohoo, it’s about time. Last week was an off-week, so I had to make do with watching the Tennessee/Florida game and the LSU/Georgia game. Speaking of which, stupid Georgia! It was hard to pick which one I wanted to lose in that game. At first I was pulling for LSU (cause Georgia […]
Friends Don’t Let Friends Eat Apricots and Ice Cream
I figured I’d be creative with my dessert tonight. But you know, I don’t think apricots and cream work as good as peaches and cream. It’s like apricots. . . with these cold bits of stuff on ’em. Well. . .I’ll eat it anyway. What the heck. At least I didn’t put chocolate syrup on […]

Sept 11 and Drug-induced Dreams
On this day in 2001, it was a clear, crisp, sunny morning in New York City. Students were in their second week of school. People were getting to work in cars, buses, and trains. Alessandra Fremura had planned on leaving for work at 8:00, but her babysitter was 20 minutes late. Virginia DiChiara couldn’t get […]
Remembering Sleeping Beauty
Sorry about the link-fest I had going on those last few posts. Every once in a while I find a link and post it up; these just happened to come in clusters. They are neat links, though. You should visit them, yo. I was bad yesterday; I bought a DVD. But I had to, this […]
random thoughts
Funny things I have picked up along the way: A diamond engagement ring is a wonderful thing: How else can you tell her you want to be her husband and will love her forever, whilst simultaneously funding some horrific bush war. M Skills, UK Fairy Tales are more than true: not because they tell us […]
the proverbial
It tells me to type in the big white box in the top of the page, so that’s what I’m doing. Don’t know how this’ll work out, but figured I’d give it a go. “Everyone else has one. . .” ‘Cept most of theirs is at livejournal.com, and I don’t know anyone else directly that […]
