fiat lux
A couple of bulbs in the lamp over the dining room table exploded last week. I may have mentioned that already. I never did figure out why it would ever do that, which made both me and My Darling B a little nervous. It’s a little hard to relax and enjoy dinner with a lamp… Read.

carrie
I can’t believe our waitress changed the channel right in the middle of the final scene of the movie Carrie. And right after we lavishly tipped her. We were sitting right there when she changed it, too. Turned our chairs around and everything so we could see Cissy Spacek immolate everyone at the prom. Everyone… Read.

lively
I’m still alive, promise, I’ve just been overly occupied doing other things this weekend. I will tell you all about it when I get twenty minutes to sit down and pound the keys. Right now, though, I’m tired and I gotta go to bed. in the meantime, here’s some Genki Sudo to amuse you: I’m… Read.

lull
Thursday night is guy night, the night I’m in charge of putting food on the family, and while I could have taken My Darling B straight home and burned some animal flesh on the Weber, instead I suggested that we spend the evening relaxing on the patio at Mickey’s Tavern with a couple of beers… Read.
