Dear Wife,

I now agree with you 110% that we should probably trim the cat’s nails.

At first I thought this an unnecessary affectation of twee citification, but, in the fullness of time, as usual, I have come to see the wisdom in your way of thining. I do believe I have most of the bleeding under control at this point but I do have to change the dressing every 20 minutes or so to keep up with the arterial spurting. It is interesting to note that while dear Daisy likes to play rough all the time, as …

Every time I go into this one deli, Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain” is playing on the radio. Every single time, regardless of time of day. I’m starting to think that maybe in fact, yes, that song is about me.

It would be so much funnier if it wasn’t me, so, since you’re not me, maybe you’ll find it funnier than I do, and I think it’s pretty funny, if you have any idea what’s going on with me right now. I’m teaching a mini-course over the next three weeks loosely titled, “How To Handle Difficult Situations”. Hoo-wah.

In my WWWWanderings I wecentwy wan acwoss this rather moving opinion piece written by a member of “Iraq Veterans Against the War.” It bobbled around in my brain for a few days, and I was just on the verge of forgetting it when I learned something else interesting about it. Turns out the entire and completely awesome IVAW site was designed by The Action Mill, a partnership that includes Nick Jehlen, who, as you can see, has an impressive list of left-oriented websites on his resume. And the cool, local part of this …

I have a lot of problems, I have a critical mass of bad problems, where now every problem is contributing to every other problem, which in itself is a problem, of course. Which just adds to the overall State of Problemness. Sometimes when this happens, my body starts to blow gaskets, fire off flare guns, stage a riot to revolt against a brain that needs to be told to COOL IT, CALM DOWN, EASE UP. Yesterday this happened in pretty much my least favorite way: I call it The Shoulder Thing

The Shoulder Thing, as it always does, attacked …

A USB waffle iron.

Yep, that’s it.

Jump behind this cut to watch a very good video with Vikings, Voltron, and some phat, phat, PHAT breaks. Pump up the volume. You can download your own copy from ldopa.net, which is where I done heard of it. Ldopa’s just plain awesome in general, you should go there more.

For some reason, “globe luxation” is one of the top search terms that drives people to Thornography.net. For those people, the globe luxation fans of the world, I submit this eye-popping example of what globe luxation almost looks like. So, am I sick? Because I see that picture, and I want to sneak up behind him when he’s doing that some time, and smack him in the back of the head. Now THAT’S comedy.

Continuing my trend of deftly averting mine own and the reader’s gaze away from details of my rapidly decomposing personal life, this link-heavy entry actually has a theme this time. Namely, what a nerd I am.

The Mr. Mac Website Portal… well, let’s just say it wasn’t the kind of zealotry or evangelism I was expecting. I had no idea there were special shops. Looked for an explanation of the special tags - nothing.

The playlist for Guitar Hero 2 was released this past week. Some pretty exciting toons on there. Did I mention the …

I had a huge entry nearly finished, then accidentally closed the window. Sorry folks, check back in a couple days. I’m running low on morale here right now. The suckage, it is immense.
