My job interview today was really short, and the line at the DMV office was way too long. As a result, I had about an hour to kill before work. So I came home and thought to myself: “An hour is the perfect amount of time for a run! Fifteen minutes to stretch, thirty to […]

A young boy went up to his father and asked him, “Dad, what is the difference between potentially and realistically?”
The father thought for a moment, then answered, “Go ask your mother if she would sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars. Then ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a […]

This just in: eBay Mystery auctions are for retards with time and money to waste.
More at eleven.

I had some time today, so I decided to try and clean up a little — the huge piles of shit have become an annoyance even to one of my laziness. Sadly, I have realized that this is going to be a multi-stage process, as the amount of crap is overwhelming.
This is just the stuff […]

I would usually be hard-pressed to put the words “eloquent”, “polite”, and “cursing” in the same sentence, but goddamnit! (Fuckin’) Deadwood does it so well, it just tickles my fancy to no end. Here is a conversation snippet from Plague (s1e6).
– Will you keep a girl company?
– I will… but I’m expensive.
– Oh, I […]

As I was falling asleep last night, a question occurred to me. In the two thousand (give or take) years of its existence, has the Catholic Church done anything positive? I don’t mean the religion, but the Church as an institution. To be perfectly honest, in the few minutes that it took me to dose […]

HA!
So I was sitting on the couch, watching Medium (which is not too bad, actually) and strumming my guitar. Just your basic box pattern with the Es and the Gs and a C or two. I’m strumming and humming and I realize that I have a pretty good tune going, except the D just […]

There is something odd about preparing to write. Having never written anything longer than a really short story (with a half-borrowed plot), I cannot even imagine how one would approach a project such as a book. I remember reading a snippet of an interview with Roger Zelazny, where he said that his approach to writing […]

It is not usual these days for a movie to make me think. I rather enjoy the rare occasions when one does.
To say that the story played out in Primer is an original concept would be somewhat misleading. The topic is standard sci-fi fare — time travel, and all the rules, loopholes, paradoxes, and messes […]

Since there is a good chance that I will be moving in the next year, I have been asking around about different places to live. I am not certain why (perhaps because of certain reputations), but I often ask if a city/area is safe to live in. However, I have just realized that […]

I am sure almost everyone has had their share of “What the hell am I doing? I’m acting like a dumbass” moments. Unless done on purpose for entertainment purposes, they are highly annoying, because you realize you are acting like a tool, but you cannot stop yourself.
I just wonder if it’s possible to get over […]
