Did this movie have it all? I think it did. Let’s run down the checklist: 1. Trite religious themes? check. 2. Handsome young actor morphs into a stupendously nasty and stringy Nicholas Cage halfway through? check. Were we also forced to look at Nicholas Cage’s half naked, steroided torso at some point? Yes, we were. [...]

Internet in the house. Heat also in the house. Things are looking up. Hideous photo though. I have got to get the good camera repaired.
Have you noticed that clothes washed at your mom’s house smell good, no matter what you do in them- exercise, sleep, hang out in smoky bars, leave them wadded on the vile-smelling carpet – until you wash them again, when they revert to smelling like crap? I’ve been wearing this shirt for 2 days now [...]
I had an explosive, titanic nosebleed earlier. The bathroom looks like I killed somebody in there. And maybe I did.
I suppose this must be my father’s contribution to the home decor.
This is my parents’ fridge. Look closely. You will see 5 kinds of butter/margarine in no small quantities, a half gallon of half N half, whipped cream and… skim milk. The yogurt is also skim.
Is the state of Oklahoma. Check out these BBQ grills shaped like cows: And it sort of looks like the one in the back has 2 heads. More BBQ grills shaped like cows: And the final image of BBQ grills shaped like cows: Now you can relax- if you’re capable- and feast your eyes on [...]
Another of the countless shots of everyone I know making weird faces at the camera. Why can’t people act photogenic for 2 seconds? Coffee stout- it was pretty good. Not very thick though. Basically tasted like iced coffee with a slight kick. Brewed on-site though, and that was cool. I also tried the India pale [...]
Coin Laundry hijinks- what could be worse? New camera hikinks, perhaps? Last night was my first experience with the coin laundry since- oh, about the year 2000. I was astonished at the capacity of these machines, but less enthusiastic about the drying capacity of the dryer, which was pretty much equivalent to waving the laundry [...]
I have an interesting kind of new neighbor… the kind who yells at sporting events on TV. He shouts things like “yeah baby!” and “what a CATCH” when he isn’t cussing. I can hear him now, as I sit out on the porch beneath the night sky, using the internet.
I thought the shower was pink, but that turns out to have just been mildew.
Apparently. I’m out on the porch- a convenient spot to work- and I actually have a signal from the miserable civic wireless network. No reliable signal in the house. I don’t think this is really my ideal outcome, since this isn’t exactly Hawaii. But it’s an interesting reversal from having to use my cell phone [...]
I have this demented coffemaker, right? And it has a clock but you cannot set the clock for some reason. You can only set the timer. So my plan is to trick it and plug it in at midnight so it is on the right time. This was my plan last night as well, but [...]
All this was piled up on the dryer until a few minutes ago. I’m not actually sure this is an improvement.
Today I found a Starbucks card on the sidewalk. So that’s fortunate. There’s only 98 cents on it, so I guess I won’t be purchasing an espresso maker with it. I think I’ll just leave the smarmy metaphysics up to your imagination.
