the Weather Channel: good with morning coffee or a dedicated soldier of fear?
Congress has been holding hearings into the White House’s handling of federal scientists’ findings on climate change. The Senate and the House have held separate hearings thus far, both of which have revealed striking evidence showing the White House’s subversive handling of the topic.
In addition to some damming testimony, the Union of Concerned […]
there’s a big market for good hyperbolic simile
I was watching the Discovery Channel earlier - some show about stunt nuts. This guy was going to swoop down out of the sky (from a sky dive) and fly through a hanger, in the hopes of landing safely on the opposite side. The quote the tv host used to describe the stunt? […]
I should be working… but I’m not
For the past twenty minutes I’ve done nothing but stare at my calendar. From what I can tell while looking at days today through the end of time I’m working about, oh let me see… add that weekend, carry the 1… all of them. My scheduled work days look something like this: ∞
I […]
you learn something new every day, dammit
And today, I learned how to spell “dammit,” dammit. I’ve always spelled it damnit, and I’ve known that was wrong but just haven’t cared enough to go and figure out the right way.
Practicing my profane vocabulary skills over at profane game introduced me to Urban Dictionary’s definition of my original spelling, and I quote:
“damnit: […]
Giuliani might run in ‘08, and we’re damned either way
Giuliani’s last election bid (for the US Senate) was plagued with personal problems, and eventually he dropped out of the race. Now he’s considering a bid for President in 2008 and, frankly, Democrats are damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t.
If he does decide to run there’s almost no way a Democrat […]
yet another cat antic
After writing that last post about Dash I was especially tuned in to his mayhem making tendencies. I’ve found yet another game he has devised…
I changed my socks about six times today (what - different occasions call for different attire; shoes match the belt, pants match the socks - it makes for many very […]
cat antics
Not too long ago the maternal unit convinced me to get a second cat. I had been Kerry-ing flip-flopping over it for a while, and when she told me she thought she had the perfect fit for my first fuzzy friend I dove. I’ve had precisely 0 nights of good sleep ever since…
Dash […]
I accidentally soiled myself and my neighbors
I was sitting on my patio this morning reading the dilbert blog and generally laughing my ass off when I started feeling slightly uncomfortable.
As a little more time passed the discomfort worsened, and picked up it’s pace. Things started getting genuinely distasteful about 10:30 and something just had to be done.
I rose, turned towards […]
I might be strangly angry at him
My father, step mother, and two sisters moved to Hawaii recently. The decision was made I think under duress and, despite the obvious concerns, followed through with in short order.
At the time, I was just sad; sad to see my family go so far away. That isn’t to say I spent much time […]
5 tips for finding and listening to bad music
1. Pull it from your high school days.
Just as we look back at pictures from our youth and cringe, we do also with our music. Look back and find the music you irritated your parents with when you were 15. You’ll think it’s fantastic, and it just might be, but it also […]
