things I do not particularly feel like doing tonight
Thursday, March 6th, 2008Locating a Torx T-6 screwdriver with which to undo two incredibly tiny screws inside my laptop so that I may replace its hard drive, which, at 100GB, somehow seemed plenty large to me in 2006. Purchasing said. Watching the four hours of “The Wire” taking up space on our DVR. Even though it’s a really [...]
things that are keeping my day from going completely down the crapper
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008This Someone recently found our site while searching Google for “Buttafuoco Pants.” The coffee I’m halfway through Imagining the headline for this guy’s obit as “D&D Creator’s Hit Points Expire” Trying times, people. And that goddamn Margarita from last night is not helping me one single bit.

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007To demonstrate my dedication to nonproductivity, I have moments ago decided to take part in this, which I found out about from this guy.

Sometimes I wonder how I ever managed to be born
Friday, March 23rd, 2007Not too long ago Henry fell down and got a bump on his eyebrow/face area. There’s a teensy scar, but I’m pretty sure it’ll fade once we get him to the pediatric plastic surgeon. I told my Dad what had happened and this was his reply: Some time in the future Henry and I will [...]
The King of Four
