Outrage It’s barely news anymore when a Democrat is caught cheating on his wife with some younger woman, (unless she’s seriously hot) just as it barely catches our attention when some Republican is caught cheating on his wife with a younger man. It happens all the time. People who are attracted to power frequently consider [...]

Behaving Like a Sim3pleton Lena bought the Sims 3 for us to play on her iPhone and my iPod Touch a few days ago. I figured what the hell, it’s something to do while she’s in the bathroom at Zaxby’s, and I’ll be back to Solitaire soon enough. I am afraid that I severely misjudged [...]

Whoops! The Accidental Suicide of David Carradine I really liked David Carradine. My granddad and I used to watch Kung Fu together when I was a kid, and I grew up with plenty of awful yet playfully watchable Carradine movies. When I got a little older I found even more of David’s work to enjoy. [...]

Back when Lena and I lived in Gainesville, before we left that swinging little burg of student-exploitation-driven economies for the hustle and bustle of “big city” life in glitzy Jacksonville… excuse me, I just shot Diet-Coke out of my nose… I worked for theIndependent Florida Alligator. This was the family owned but student run newspaper that [...]

Back when Lena and I lived in Gainesville, she worked for a couple of years at a magazine aimed primarily at Greeks on campus. (Fraternity and Sorority members) The magazine, owned by young man named Bill, (himself a college student) was a rag, but the folks who worked there could be fun, so by and [...]

I always wanted to have family traditions. You know, like Dr. Phil and Robin’s Taco Friday or how the Huxtables sang together or any corny, sweet old thing. You know, not like my family’s traditions of fighting over the Christmas tree, or fighting over packing for vacation, or everyone’s favorite, fighting over who started the [...]

Again, congratulations Belle. (I don’t want to cover up your accomplishment with another bloggy-writey-thing.) Saturday, one of my gaming friends was discussing the reasons he did not wish to add another MMORPG to his list of “life-drainers.” He was saying that at the end of a night of play in one of these, he had, [...]

I do not know why I love this movie so. Normally, movies/books/stories about people who make really bad decisions and who’s lives fall to pieces as a consquence leave me feeling a little cheated. If the main plot arc is the main character’s obvious stupidity it makes it a little harder to get into, and [...]

Lena and I played World of Warcraft last night. We usually play once or twice a week, trying to get online when we have several hours to devote to it. Yesterday evening we happened to meet up with Mudder and Rosamonde, another gaming couple in our guild who are right at our levels in the [...]

Alright folks! If you’re reading this, you’re getting in on the ground floor of my new webcomic, Heroes of Lesser Earth! (Sorry!) Technically, as of this writing, I’m not quite ready to be totally live, but hell, I guess if sit around and wait until everything is perfect?it will never actually happen. So, here we [...]
