I love you

Communicating over the internet (or the internets if you prefer), whether it’s through e-mail, IRC, MUshes, MOOs, MUD’s, MMORPG’s or any other acronym, has always been tricky especially when you’re dealing with a stranger – someone who doesn’t know your personal quirks of speech. We started really reaching out and communicating on a large scale…

I’ve angered the pizza troll. I’ve been trying to come to terms with this all week, shrugging off the troll’s importance in my life, but let’s face it; I need to win the pizza troll back over. I need to get back in the troll’s good graces. It happened innocently enough. Last week before our…

Anna just got me to sign-up for MyBlogLog – a website that tracks your site stats and tries to be for blogs what Flickr is to photographs. I’m still getting the hang of it, but I think it’s got a long way to go before it will get a big thumbs up from me. The…

We celebrated our first Halloween in our suburban utopia – many kids dressed up as princesses (including one boy who was about 13 and looked he wanted to die while escorting his younger sibling dressed as the most adorable little skunk), the Incredibles, Spiderman, soldiers, Scream and an assortment of monsters I couldn’t place.

As I drove into work yesterday it was announced that former Representative Foley was going to name the church leader who molested him. Of course, that got me into the mental rant of “just own what you did”. Sure, it’s sad that it allegedly happened to him, but this minister didn’t text message or make…

Stickers – insidious little things. I don’t know where they came from, but it’s some place evil ruled by a malicious guy with a black heart that never beats. The same guy that brought you bull nettle. If you don’t know what bull nettle is, count yourself lucky. Nothing stings more and itches more than…

At Anna’s suggestion – from the forums – here’s what I was loosely trying to say yesterday: I’ll vent my own spleen about this one. I don’t like it. It’s not strong enough. I just barf information out there without much thought. With that said, some other things that reminded me of that book and…
