It’s been a soul-sucking week, no question, for both me and the rest of the household. Hoping it gets better starting this afternoon, what with RavenCon in town and all. I just hope I can find some time to enjoy myself, and not spend the whole time on guard to make sure my kids aren’t […]

It’s been a long week, forgive me for just going for the cheap, ironic internet meme. Here are some tunes that are generally better than the one I’m invoking: “I think I’m Paranoid” – Garbage “I Pity The Fool” – Molly Lewis “Kamera” – Wilco “Like O, Like H” – Tegan and Sara “Sad Transmission” […]

Since I’m in a mobile (but not really) sort of mood this morning, here’s ten more tunes off of my pandora “quick mix” channel: “Save Me” – Queen “In Your Eyes” – Peter Gabriel “Paper Gangsta” – Lady GaGa “Love Bites” – Def Leppard “Waking Up In Vegas” – Katy Perry “Minneapolis” – That Dog […]

Trying something a little different this morning, instead of running a random ten off of the hard drive or mp3 player, I’m recording the first ten tunes that come out of my pandora radio quick mix station. It’s one of those things I’ve been playing with since I got the new phone, and so far, […]

Today’s shuffle derives from the act of delving into old hard drives recovered from the now deceased old Pentium 4 laptop, thanks to a couple of external IDE drive enclosures I can access via USB cables, since my new desktop machine only supports SATA drives. New technology that allows me to prolong the life of […]

Things went on a little bit longer than usual at the office on Thursday; long enough to miss the narrow window of time that would have gotten me home ahead of DC rush hour. As a result, it took me almost five hours in a soaking gray rain to get home last night. It wasn’t […]

Sort of settling into a routine now; hope it’ll get a little more regular next week. No big plans for the weekend; probably just going to continue cleaning and take a couple of bike rides (did fifteen miles this morning; felt very good after spotty gym access this week). And now for the pre-school’s favorite […]

Overall, I’m sure moving to this new job is the good kind of stress. However, good or bad, it’s still stress, and it plays havoc with my system in all sorts of unpleasant ways. I am, as many know, a creature of habit, almost compulsively so; these changes (new position, new place of business, new […]

Stuff is happening. Good stuff. I’ll cover it in a separate post a little later. Here are some tunes. “A Certain Romance” – Arctic Monkeys “Our American Cousin” – Molly Lewis “Goodbye” – Patty Griffin “Radio Romance” – Tiffany “When You’re Gone” – The Cranberries “Slave” – Syn D’ Cats “Come All You Sailors” – […]

In my honest opinion, Mega-Shark vs. Giant Octopus is a better film than Mega Piranha. Round one of the contest goes to Deborah Gibson. We’ll see if Tiffany Can tie it up by delivering the more riveting performance in round two’s head-to-head competition when Mega Python vs. Gateroid gets released next year. Here’s some totally […]
