WinterSpringSummer

After a long summer (which continues to drag on with this ceaseless & stifling humidity), I still don’t have much time for this blog… and I’m honestly not sure I’d know what to write about if I did.
But in case you’re aching for an update, here’s the latest:

Started a new job.  We do good work [...]

okay — check out the last comment, the one from Raymon, posted today on this FRT from like… oh… i dunno…. two full months ago. i figure its some kind of spam, right? i don’t know what kind, since it doesn’t link to cheap viagra or a low-interest mortgage — it doesn’t even link [...]

There’s a reason why I still write my poems in a marble copybook, with a simple rolling ball pen, and only commit them to computer after several long-hand revisions. That reason: technology is goofy.
For all it’s bonuses, technology continues to befuddle me at the most unlikely turns. I spent this afternoon making [...]

In just a few weeks, I’ll end my two-year stint of working from home and return to the daily grind of having a job that actually requires I *gasp* leave the house.
I couldn’t be more excited.
Not only because I get to re-assert the much-needed separation between work & life (although, ironically, my new job is [...]

…so, I have to comment here on how much I love the idea behind his new blog, Stalking the Bard. I, too, embrace the most unoriginal sentiment of loving all things Shakespeare. In fact, when I visited Stratford-upon-Avon during the brief time I lived in England during college, I was so overcome that [...]

Style Network is airing the most wonderful show — 50 Best Chick Flicks: Sex, Cries & Videotape, hosted by none other than Allie Sheedy & Molly Ringwald! It’s like watching all of my favorite movies without having to sit through all the boring parts.
This is perfect, “I’ve had too much to drink & I [...]

so, i was just listening to Skin Radio, and I – unexpectedly – heard the last lines of my own poem, Brotherly Love. Exciting? Yes, definitely. Then, after my poem finished, the station rolled into the next song — “Rain King,” by the Counting Crows. I dig the Counting Crows very much, [...]

Despite (or perhaps because of?) it’s inane lyrics and contrived catchiness, Daniel Powter’s “Bad Day” lives comfortably atop my guilty pleasures list. (Admit it, you can’t help from singing along: You had a bad day, the cameras don’t lie….) But, although that song seemed to be all the Top 40 rage last summer, it [...]

After a my-t-fun evening with the geeks and bloggers (many thanks to Scott for an excellent party!), I find myself enjoying a full day of geekery. Let me preface this by saying that my level of geekery is far more rudimentary than most, so it doesn’t take much for me to impress myself with [...]

Of course, I crave all things Eagles. And after years of drooling at the commercials for Turkey Hill’s Eagles ice cream, I finally got some tonight — surprise surprise, Acme was unloading the stuff at a deep discount now that the Eagles’ season is over.
Turkey Hill describes it as: “Vanilla flavored ice cream [...]
