When I tuned in to my Twitter feed this morning, I naturally expected to see mostly “Happy Independence Day” or something similar, because that’s what’s happening in my life, and what else is there in the universe but me, right? Wait, does everyone understand the concept of “tuning in?” I don’t want to lose anybody… Read.

craptaculous
The song stuck in my head this morning is Oh What A Night. I have never liked this song. Never. I loathed it the first time I heard it. Loathed. “Hate” is too weak a word to describe my feelings toward this song. Only loathed comes close. It’s not that there’s nothing redeeming about the… Read.

The spam robots have found my weakness. Every day, they post gibberish comments to my blog posts (spam robots are my most loyal readers) that are strings of random words, or sometimes they look like phrases and sentences pulled from internet search results. And then, yesterday, I got six or seven comments to different posts,… Read.

prometheus
I saw the movie Prometheus with My Darling B and Tim last night. We were so confused when we came out that we talked about it all the way home, trying to sort out the plot holes, but they were so many that we stood around in the living room of Our Humble O’Bode for… Read.

live brew
It’s brewing day! And to make it extra-special, I’m going to live blog it, or as much of it as I can without interrupting the process, because when it comes down a choice between to satisfying you, my faithful reader (you are still out there, aren’t you?), or successfully brewing a batch of beer, you’re… Read.

decadence
I drove in to work today instead of riding my bike. The weather forecast called for high winds this afternoon and evening, and I hate biking against a headwind more than I hate biking through the rain, so I gave it a miss. Still left work at four-thirty, though. This being Thursday, it’s customary for… Read.

crossword
For the first time in I don’t know how many months, I turned the page in The New York Times and found a crossword puzzle that I could finish in less than a week. As it turned out, I finished it in less than an hour. Almost made my head explode. We used to subscribe… Read.
