The first 3 seasons of NCIS are done. Hiatus I and II sucked wind at a hundred p.s.i., but maybe I’m just mad because they never filmed a dream sequence of Mark Harmon and Michael Weatherly getting it on. I mean, three seasons in, and Whedon would have done it, but I guess Bellisario is [...]

你好! If the above noted is garbage, my apologies, but I just inserted ni hao, which is hello in Mandarin (literal translation.. you good?) Took me forever to find the right characters. Just playing around, can’t really start the laundry until later….

FINALLY – after literally months – I got together with Katie K in her ‘impressively staged’ condo. Why, when I recollect what it looked like the last time I was there…. okay, maybe I’d better rephrase that. There is virtually nothing in the condo. I mean, a hotel suite has more furniture in it. The [...]

Isn’t it sweet? Don’t quite like the colours but I’m all over the design. Mike, Jeff and I hung out for a bit last night and we saw a Robot Chicken I had never seen before. There’s this one blackout of Chewbacca imitating the Fonz which was cherce. Then some more Futurama (the alternate universe [...]

After my exalted state yesterday, OF COURSE I don’t get to keep it. Instead, here it is 6:30 in the morning and raining comme un batard (I think I’m missing a circonflex in there) and I’m feeling ill and sad, because I just accidentally read somebody else’s correspondence on my computer. I was looking for [...]

Okay, so me and Mr. Music got together last night and started messing with this ‘thing’ I have in my mind. I’ve wanted to write a musical since I was in my teens, and his self-appointed job is to fix me with his kindly yet piercing gaze and say, “So nu? you going to write [...]

Chipper sent this link to me under the rather cryptic header “Big Head”. Marcus Aurelius was a great writer and his contribution to the philosophy of Stoicism should not be forgotten. Here’s a link to the Meditations. I’m off to see Music Man tonight. I am starting to think about writing a musical and rather [...]

I know I shouldn’t have mocked the religious, but this will be my bulwark when the crap starts to fly. Watch Richard Dawkins read and respond to some of his hatefilled email.

Paul brought some more of that awesome chard, leftover pork roast (yum!) and a very nice cuke from the downstairs neighbour’s garden. We all had ourselves a little feast and watched some NCIS (he was not previously familiar with it but fortunately the story arc is such that you can watch single episodes without getting [...]

Uber-cousin Alex has forwarded yet another cute pic of her jet-setting offspring, Darwin. Here he is lounging by a pool in Switzerland them there furrin’ parts. As corrected, France. Hey, I’m flying to the north end of France in November. I’ll be doing my own little war re-creation, slogging through the rain.
