boxes and boxes of books

| February 24, 2008

So last time we were home, I went through my dad’s storage space and found many of the books I read as a teenager. I separated them all nicely from the junk I didn’t want loitering around our house yet, and asked him to send them up. So he has. I still have one box [...]

crazy Clinton

| February 24, 2008

OK, this actually hurts to watch. [youtube = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9CRgFO2mnM] Seriously?  Fucking seriously Hillary?  After all the shady shit you and your husband did/implied?  Wait, you’re doing it right now!  Isn’t it the point of campaigns to debate and focus on differences in policies?  There is no holy grail, no policy is unassailable. What The Fuck. [...]

Wolverine & the X-men

| February 22, 2008

So, there’s a new X-Men cartoon coming out on Fox eventually…I *guess* it’s a continuation of X-Men evolution. I say that because the relative ages of the characters still seem to match – Wolverine, Storm, Beast = old, everyone else = slightly older kid, and the animation style looks similar.  It will be called (duh) [...]

time for 4 political parties?

| February 21, 2008

OK, 5 if you count the standard independents. 6 if you want to be nice and count the Greens. But realistically, I don’t think either of those two groups will ever count for anything. Sure, I hope they will, but I have zero expectations. So what am I talking about with this 4 party thing? [...]

500th cd

| February 20, 2008

OK, I’m not sure which one technically counts as the 500th, since I had 499 and then received 3 in the mail at the same time. BUT, I just broke 500 cds – and it only took me 12 or so years!  I don’t think I have one that technically counts as the 500th, since [...]

Two interesting stories from This American Life

| February 19, 2008

OK, so I know white people love public radio, so I guess I’m just a stereotype. But hey, I started watching the TV version on Netflix-online the other night, finished all those, then moved on to some of the radio shows. There are so freaking many though, you have to pick and choose. I’ve gone [...]

Marvel May X-title solicitations

| February 18, 2008

Comicbookresources has some stuff up here. Click away! I don’t get what’s up with the whole X-Men vs. Hippies thing, but I’m more than willing to give Brubaker the benefit of the doubt. Let it ride! Mmm, two issue of Legacy by Mike Carey? He’s knocking them out of the park so far, so I’m [...]

Random track of the day, streaming on my Vox blog. From the Try to Think Less EP Frente! – Hounds of Love

Z is on the move

| February 18, 2008

He’s been crawling around for a little while now, and just started sitting himself up inside the last week somewhere.  Fun stuff! He’s right on the cusp of getting into things – he found the new dresser we put together this weekend, and figured out how to pull the drawers open in about 5 seconds.  [...]

a horribly fucked up result of our travel screening process

| February 16, 2008

Don’t click unless you want to be sad. Fucking god damn retards. Seriously? Obviously I’m just guessing about the screening.  But what else would it be?  General incompetence is a given.
