I just finished watching the new mentalist search show with Uri Geller and Criss Angel, Phenomenon. The show itself is pretty standard as far as the contest shows go, each contestant demonstrates his/her talent and the audience gets to vote on their favorite, or least favorite contestants. But this time they’re looking for mentalists – […]
Two cats are better than one?
So, we’ve got two cats. There’s Tangee (we didn’t change his name when we got him), who we adopted from the Humane Society the August after we got the house. He’s odd. He was about twelve when we got him and he made these odd noises at the shelter, so we grabbed him up. Because […]
Funny Stuff
Really funny . . . just go here.
Sniffles and Cranky Pharmacists
Ever since pseudoephedrine went behind the pharmacy counter, I’ve been trying to do everything I can to not buy it. There are a couple of reasons for this, the primary one being that I don’t want to be on some list of people who take a particular drug . . . and therefore suspected of […]
Lowering Our Carbon Footprint, part 2
Earlier this year I wrote about how Jerry and I have bought an engine-less lawnmower in Lowering Our Carbon Footprint, part 1. I guess the next logical thing to write about is the car. Since we live in Wisconsin, it’s nearly impossible to fill up a hydrogen, biodiesel, or other alternate-fuel using car. Jerry had […]
Military Recruiters Lie
They do. Maybe not all of them, but some do. I was lied to – I know. I don’t remember the recruiter’s name, but I bet it’s on some of this old paperwork in my filing cabinet. The biggest lie that I was told was that lieing on my application (is that what it is?) […]
Oh, Henry!
We saw Henry Rollins do his spoken word thing tonight at the Rave. It was amazing! Henry spoke for three hours – if only the Rave had seating that didn’t bruise your tailbone! Let me take you back to the beginning of my Rollins experiences. It was the early ’90’s and MTV still (sometimes – […]
Unfortunate Distraction
I was about to go shower this morning, but I heard the people on the Today Show mention that Don Imus was coming back to the radio and I was sufficiently distracted from everything. Unfortunately, I’m sure this news will distract many others from more important things in their lives, as well. For more information, […]
More Old Music
Sweetness is Sophie B. Hawkins singing “Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover”. What an awesome song. Year? 1992. I know, I’m old. And only getting older. Less than 6 months to 30! Rock! It seems that most of Ms. Hawkins’ new music is but a pale shadow in comparison to “Damn I Wish I […]
Old Music
I’m ripping some old music to mp3 for the purpose of portability . . . I’m coming across some interesting stuff. I totally forgot about Fifteen and Fenix TX. Fifteen, good. Fenix, TX, well – can somebody remind me why we ever listened to this? I wonder what made them think they had a creative […]
