…and with that little snippet from Flashback 95.6, I proudly, and with only a hint of shame, announce the fact that this afternoon, I completed Grand Theft Auto III. Yes, you read that right…THREE. This actually marks the end of an era, really. I’ve owned the game (which came out in 2001) for over five […]

Fourteen because I felt like it, and possibly because I was a little distracted from the historical significance, and well, the sheer awesomeness of the speech (here’s video if you don’t feel like reading) last night. I’m pretty sure it was worth keeping the eldest up for, even if she was more interested in seeing […]

From my hotel this week, I have an excellent view of all the active runways at National Airport. And the Amtrak line. And the metro. And the G-W Parkway. And some sailboats and stuff on the Potomac. It’d be like big vehicle heaven if I were a five year old boy; it’s still pretty cool […]

It’s a rule. Happy Birthday to me.

Upon coming home from work today, I managed to catch my high-fin platy giving birth! I caught four or five deliveries before quickly sheathing the filter intake with an old piece of panty hose (so the babies don’t get sucked in, you know). I also saw one of the dumber baby fish head out into […]

Here’s this morning’s playlist from the almost completely refilled 4Gb Sansa; A few familiar faces, but a bunch of new stuff into the mix, which is always welcome: “Close to Me” – The Cure “Our House” – Madness “I Still Pray” – Kasey Chambers w. Paul Kelly “It’s No Good” – Depesche Mode “Cyberpunks are […]

Here’s a cell phone photo of the campaign bus as it’s leaving the campus; If you were actually there, you could see the Senator waving from the window:

Senator Obama and Governer Kaine are doing an event this morning at John Tyler Community College; a small campus within a few minutes of my house. I won’t be home, but Colleen and the kids are planning on scoping out the area with some strategic lunch plans about the time said event lets out (which […]

I really don’t have much of anything to share with the world today, though it’s been a couple of days since I posted anything (other than a few tweets), so, here’s something. After last week’s constant “run the kid to camp every day” activities, which, among other things, proved that even a six year old […]

I would really like to sleep for the entire weekend; honest! Until then, here’s today’s playlist: “Surrendering” – Alanis Morissette “Tell Me I’m A Liar” – Liz Phair “Blue Sky” – Patty Griffin “I Will” – The Beatles “Creepy Doll” – Jonathan Coulton “Uncommonly Blue” – Cellarbirds “What Is Not But Could Be If” – […]
