A more than satisfactory day.

Monday, November 30th, 2009

In the morning, started a pot roast.  Puttered for the rest of the morning.  In the afternoon shopped (a big, necessary shop) with Jeff and put everything away, which is a pain when you’re buying bulky stuff.  Then went to interview Dennis.  That was absolutely wonderful and I enjoyed every minute of it, and I [...]

It’s a rodent, but it’s still VERY cute.

Hammy Hamster takes a ride. Scanged from boingboing.net.

Gender ender fender bender

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Not much connection between the post title and the post.  Not really.  But what is going on with male fertility?  Is every sperm sacred? Consider the following article on Herbivore Men from Japan. And this article about bisphenol A. And this one from 2006 in Japan. And this one from Madsci.org from the last century. [...]

Holy ^%$! Batman

Debbie forwards this gem from the nation’s capital.  There’s more than enough **** to go around in this story.  Calling something a blowback makes it sound like a rough breeze, not feces at high pressure. I had an amazing morning with Katie here, doing tech support and getting out of her way so she could [...]

Bwa ha ha ha !

Read Doug and Elly get married blog.  I laughed my ass off at the most recent posts. And in harsh reality news, Canadian forces may get an urban combat uniform redesign.

No church today

Katie’s coming over to work on a song!!!! This is amazing and happy making news. Look, a useful weather link. It would be even more useful if the Weather Channel could PREDICT the weather rather than taking a rough approximation of a stab at it.

It being Sunday morning, here, have some curse words

Stephen Fry on swearing. SPECIAL BONUS, Hugh Laurie in drag. Attended a Jim Scott house concert at Tom and Peggy’s last night.  I am going to be in a minority here, but I think it’s possible to write songs about peace love light cooperation and the rain forest and still keep some edge in the [...]

When dinosaurs roamed the earth

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

… and I lived in Ottawa, somebody came door to door asking my parents what they thought about contemporary television.  My parents said they hated Disney stuff because parents were characterized as idiots, and preferred The Addams Family because the parents were actually parents, and there was love and affection and mutual support in the [...]

Bling for Loki

If I was going to buy bling for mein pOp for Xmas, this is what it would be. Best part:  It would be invisible against what he normally wears.

For the love of charity

Charity, defined here, here, and here, begins at home, or so they say.

Want some

World’s strongest beer.   I believe they gave the naming rights to a drunken comedian.

Still feeling fog-eyed

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

Last night I dreamed I was in a very weird, muddy, tunnelled location. While I was there somebody- I think Katie – brought me the news that Margot had been run over. I remember feeling – nothing.  Jeff and I tramped through some mud as we discussed how this would make Gizmo and Eddie very [...]

wacky roundup

Is everybody going to have more panic attacks as atmospheric CO2 rises? I think this guy is brilliant. You’ve gotta be kidding.  Nope, not kidding.  I AM IN THE WRONG FRACKING BUSINESS. In time for Christmas, a recipe for butterbeer. It all makes sense now that I know I have a neurological problem. Actually I [...]

Feel like animatronic scrap

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

I couldn’t get out of the house last night to see Carrie and Tom; my throat is swollen and although I’m not running a temperature right now I was last night.  At least I quit coughing.  Today is a hot tea and sleep day.
