I rarely know what you’re talking about.

Drafted.

In the name of not keeping you waiting any longer, let me relieve you thus: My fantasy football draft went fine yesterday. I’ll allow a moment for you to breathe a sigh of relief.
In addition to my having what promises to be an awesome keeper this year (Marvin Harrison, arguably the best Wide Receiver in [...]

“Over There.”

I’ve got it bad. Not just for Inge, but for, as all you dorks out there can understand, a video game. Kind of an old one: “Medal of Honor: Allied Assault” is a totally badass first-person shooter in which you storm the beaches at Normandy, then shoot a bunch of Nazis.
I suppose it’s paradoxical, [...]

International Day of Brian

My 29th year is officially over and done with, which means it’s my birthday today. It went okay. I got a decent raise at work. My life has been dramatically enhanced by the following:

An iPod.
Trucky.
Continued married life.
Renewed ties with Gin & Juice (the people, not so much the drink)
The Dirty Rotten Scoundrel (the drink, [...]

Gold medalist

I’m pleased to announce that Olympic swimmer/uberhottie Inge de Bruijn is the winner of the 2004 Briantology Award for Hotness. This dubious honor places her in the company of past winners such as Darleece and Salma Hayek.

Ms. de Bruijn accepts her award earlier Wednesday.
Inge and I, I’m not gonna lie here, have had a long-standing [...]

Catching the bar

The Olympics continue to rock ass. Well, kind of. Not to pick nits, but I’ve got some nits to pick, not the least of which is this, which is where you should click if you’d like your Olympics-watching experience completely spoiled because you already know who won.
Not completely spoiled, I guess; there’s still the thrill [...]

Tick. Tick. Tick.

Holy crap, summer’s starting to end.
I’m supposed to say next that it seems like summer just started, but honestly, now that I think about it, it seems more like summer started about three months ago.
Which plays directly into a theory of mine. Remember when you were a kid, and every day took freakin’ forever? Like [...]

Hel-LO, Charley

So, um, I realize I’ve said some pretty nasty things about tornadoes here in the past, and for the most part I’ll stand by most of these things. Tornadoes are still most definitely not okay in my book.
However.
After reviewing the testimony and evidence, including the news of late, it has come to my attention that, [...]

Eye to the sky

There’s something I’ve been reluctant to talk about here, but at this point there’s no getting around it.
It’s been really, really nice outside lately.
I’m not talking nice for August, I’m talking nice for October. It was sixty fucking degrees here this morning. Not at two this morning, AT TEN-FIFTEEN THIS MORNING. A reminder, IT’S FUCKING [...]

Pour some milk out …

I’m having an excellent time lately going through my CD collection and importing all the good stuff (or failing that, the stuff I like) to my computer, and subsequently to my iPod. It’d be more descriptive to say I’ve been reacquainting myself with my CD collection, as a lot of this crap I’d either completely [...]

Goat-tastic

Having experienced Woolaroc, particularly its magical petting zoo, I’m now fairly certain of a few things:
- Baby goats = Cutest thing maybe ever.

- Baby pigs = Very willing to bite the living shit out of my fingers. And, shortly thereafter, Darleece’s fingers. Not actually all that cute, this habit.
- Bunnies = Not having one bit [...]
