The fact that three zombie-related tunes came up this week is, indeed, completely random. I suppose we must always remain vigilant for the apocalypse of the undead, hopefully we’ll be better prepared than they were at the fictional Yonkers. “Least Complicated” – Indigo Girls “All You Zombies” – The Hooters “Big Jack” – AC/DC “Shanty […]

Another week’s passed, thankfully. Looking forward to a weekend of rest, relaxation, and Fallout 3. Also, on Saturday, a bunch of six and seven-year old boys will taking over my house for a couple of hours for Andrew’s late birthday pizza and movie night. We haven’t figured out what films are on the bill yet, […]

…from laughing, friends, from laughing. Take a few minutes to enjoy this little retro-style game I found, but Don’t Shit Your Pants! _______________________ And by the way, the show last night was, shall we say….awesome? Indeed, we shall. At one point, however, Colleen and I were ready to cover our ears and do the whole […]

This has been a week of long, slow days. Friday, however, be the longest, since upon completion of the workday, Colleen and I are road-tripping to Alexandria for dinner and a show from the guys at #10. Date night is LONG overdue… “Can’t Get There From Here” – R.E.M. “And We Danced” – The Hooters […]

I spent a few days pretty sick this week; not at all fun. My senses of smell and taste were completely hosed; for almost 48 hours, I could only smell ammonia, with alarming acuity; dealing with a potty training infant was not a pleasant thing. I’m still not well, but at least I can taste […]

…because last night, they were just way too explicit and disturbing. I will share the tunes, however: “Perfect Circle” – R.E,M, “Decibel” – AC/DC “There Was A Time” – Guns N Roses “On The Bus Mall” – The Decemberists “Time for Pride” – The Cellarbirds “Call it Off” – Tegan and Sara “Policy of Truth”- […]

♦ Colleen and I have pretty much the perfect geek date lined up for next month – Jonathan Coulton, with Paul and Storm, at The Birchmere! So, uh, yay for us! ♦ More reasons I like the new President, both real and not so real…. …Though I have to say, Obama’s on the wrong side […]

Actually, like the last couple of times, this one was put together Thursday evening, then scheduled in WordPress to go live first thing in the morning. Ain’t technology grand? It’s been a pretty good week, overall. Work was surprisingly nice and productive. This was surprising to me, given the impact of teething cranky baby on […]

I’m getting ready to leave DC just as millions of others are coming in for this weekend’s pre-inaugural festivities. While the big free show on Sunday at Lincoln sounds like it might be a really good time (Springsteen! U2! Mellencamp!), I don’t think I’m quite up to all the complications inherent in crowding more than […]

How is it that I’ve never, ever heard of this before today? Right now, I simply can’t trust that my knowledge of western culture doesn’t have even more huge gaping holes in it. You’d think that a joke piece by Mozart titled “Leck mich im Arsch” (which translates into exactly what you think it does) […]
