Godzilla

Julia brought me a Godzilla for my new office. Here he guards my Pop Tarts.

Pink Piggies

Swine Flu. It beckons.

Sparkletiger

Glitter does not photograph well. But thanks to Martha Stewart, it is available in lots of refined colors down at my local Wally World. Our culture owes her a lot.

Whump

My green chair finally collapsed. The leg split into shapes that would be ideal for staking vampires, if it should come to that.

The Game

New drawing and/or D&D style role playing game board.

3.2 for 32 Run/Walk

Today is the 2 year anniversary of the VT Massacre and even though I do not care for these types of memorial events, Julia, Mike, and I all attended the 3.2 for 32 Run/Walk on the Virginia Tech campus. We elected to walk because we are lazy. It is difficult to say anything meaningful about [...]

Because of the name Vivanno, when I was ordering I accidentally pronounced banana “BAH-NAH-NAHHHH” like I was the Queen of England. Which made both me and the Barista laugh (titter stupidly). But her afternoon [...]

Ghosts of Vesuvius

by Charles Pellegrino. Historical revision based on evidence unearthed from Pompeii and Herculaneum. The book rambles from topic to topic and seems to have been organized by a crazy person but it is full of fun anecdotes. “Romans living on the Bay of Naples in A.D. 79 enjoyed pizza, hamburgers, and hot dogs.” No ketchup [...]

I Changed the World

A few months ago I joined the Radford community gym, which is free.* But there was a major problem: instead of playing music, they had TVs in the weight room. Music makes my workout so much nicer, but I really can’t use my iPod in the weight room because it gets tangled in the equipment. [...]
