(old draft) ouch.

I don’t remember when this happened, but I still think it’s funny, and wanted to share. Apparently it originally was cycling-related and had a photo, but I’m guessing I didn’t type and/or save that part.
Too bad, so sad.

Office, 2008

So, my new bookshelf came in today. Looks good, but methinks I should have gotten a wider one. Meh.
Well, here’s some pics of my new bookshelf and the current state of my home office. Click on the images for flickr-y extras.

First Post of the Rest of the Year

Heeeellooooooo, 2008. I of course wanted to put this up yesterday, never got around to it.
Where do I start? Howsabout a rough outline of some major-ish events since my last post (that should be individual posts themselves):

Reffed the first Jackson MS / Biloxi MS derby bout
Retired from rollerderby refereedom. Am now known as Don’t Panic […]

The Phoenix Also Rises

( NOLA and English Lit. and Geekery )

So, a couple of new bits of goodness in the Harry Potterverse:

Highlight of my weekend was running into Spasticrobot and his wife and having a comprehensive, conspiratorial debate about the end of Harry Potter Book 7. No doubt JK has it […]

… and the gunslinger followed …

So I went over to Dana’s new apartment uptown the other day. It’s really cool. And like me, she now has a cat thanks to the new roommate. Hers is a white cat names Iris. Iris has two different colored eyes, at least one paw with only three toes, and significantly shorter front legs than […]

Happy Towel Day!

Rollin’ to work through the quarter with Ole’ Blue™:Lara is right. I really shouldn’t have any friends.
*Disclaimer*: I don’t actually name my towels. I just did that to point out that I was indeed sporting one this morning, in public.

May 25th: Towel Day

Tomorrow is Towel Day. It is a day that us geeks celebrate Douglas Adams and further label ourselves as “easy targets” by carrying our towels in rememberance.
Why a towel? Well, let’s refer to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy for that answer:
A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitch […]

Tak! Tak en Lah!

In two hours, Stephen King’s Desperation airs on ABC.
Ron Perlman is Collie Entragian. Most of you don’t care. I do.

They hold no quarter.

Yesterday evening, I was sitting with my friend Katie, enjoying a beer or few at Molly’s. Everytime I’m in there, I discover something I had not yet seen before. As you can imagine, that’s alot of discoveries.
Anyways, I look at the jukebox, and specifically the note written on it:

No Quaters. Perfect. We pretty much say […]
