My cat is twelve years old today, and I feel like marking the occasion. So there.

I had a tense personal experience this weekend that’s going to take me a little time to work through. I need to get my own head together and organize my own thoughts before I can deal with things. As such, I’m going on break for a while; I need to think. I’ll let you know […]

The site got a couple of google hits in response to a search for “machine gun guitar cowboy”. The weird has returned. Huzzah.

For the last couple of months, I’ve been rather lax in checking out the back-end stuff around this little disused alcove of the internet. In the last day or two, I rectified that, and saw some things worth changing; nothing major that anybody’s ever going to notice, but just in case, I shall share. Thing […]

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! If it’s your wont, get out there, fake a brogue, make inappropriate remarks about your shillelagh, and pantomime chasing the snakes off of old Eire.

Tonight for dinner, a couple of my co-workers and I visited Ben’s Chili Bowl, the historic greasy spoon eatery on U Street. The chili half-smoke was amazing, and I sat at the same counter that once hosted such figures as Bill Cosby, Ella Fitzgerald, and Martin Luther King, Jr.; basking in history while eating messy, […]
