Immortal jellyfish?!

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

I, for one, welcome our new jellyfish overlords. Apparently there's a species of jellyfish (OK, "hydrozoan", but jellyfish is easier for folks to understand) called "turritopsis nutricula" that, after it becomes sexually mature, is able to, for lack of a better turn of phrase, grow young again. Kind of like a ...

I’m dreaming, of a white…

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

... Girlfriend. LOL! No, I'm not dreaming of a white girlfriend, but I saw Sting in concert during his Soul Cages tour and he had a black comedian come on between Concrete Blonde and himself, and that man was friggin' hilarious (I wish I could remember his name). It was around ...

Old website post updating: done.

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

In a previous post I wrote that I was going to update this site with archived posts from my old website, among other sources. Now after several weeks of re-building sites in Movable Type and Wordpress, extracting pertinent posts, and updating many outdated links, I am finally finished. Wow, that was ...

What the heck is going on here?

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

I'm so busy during the course of a normal day that I tend to not post here, even if I want to. I need to stop that. Instead of making excuses I'll be taking pertinent posts from my offline journals, notes, etc. as well as my old website(s) and putting ...

Breakfast bathed in sunshine.

Monday, April 9th, 2007

When the sky's are clear in the morning, this is what our breakfast nook looks like. It's a great place to eat in the morning, even if you're not a morning person (like me).

Move-in issues in our new home.

Saturday, September 24th, 2005

So the last few days haven't exactly gone off as expected. I was hoping to be able to spend about 12-14 hours a day painting and getting things in the new house ready so we can move in nice and easy this weekend, but it looks like I've bitten off ...

Trying to find the right house.

Monday, August 1st, 2005

In the current state of the real estate market, selling a home is very easy... but buying a new one is another story altogether. We've been looking for about six weeks now and we've just now found a place that looks like it's a go on all fronts. We've been ...

Renting our home.

Monday, August 1st, 2005

Today is both sad and joyous because we've got a nice fat check in our hands (that's already all but spent) since we closed on selling our home today; but it also means that we're back to renting... renting the home we owned just 24 hours ago. It's a very ...

Starbuck’s Old Fashioned doughnuts are friggin’ delicious1

Thursday, July 28th, 2005

I've got a new love in my life, and I'm not ashamed of it at all. It all started a few weeks ago because I've been frequenting Starbucks quite a bit lately, but for their iced tea, not coffee (shaken, lightly sweetened venti black tea, to be exact). Today Shawrk ...
