Idiots And Baseballs Comments Off

Remember these “two idiots”:http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2003/05/28/SP157248.DTL? These are the two guys who “caught”… er… fought over Barry Bond’s 73rd home run ball. There isn’t much for me to say that isn’t said in the aforementioned article, however, I will say this… I hope these two losers get *NADA* at the ball’s auction because these two [...]

The Response Comments Off

“Oh, they haven’t come and fixed the linoleum in the bathroom yet? Gee, that was weeks ago…” No shit sherlock, hence why YOU received a letter from the health department last week. So, what’s your response to the letter? “We just got approval from the management to install a new sliding [...]

Snowbound Comments Off

While looking through my webism (don’t ask) archives I came across an old favorite. Long ago, in a town far away, I played Starcraft all day. At some point, I made my first and only map using the included editor. “Snowbound”:http://www.snapturtle.com/xtra/snowbound/ was designed because I wanted more snowy slopes in [...]

Mold And Me Comments Off

The health department came out yesterday and did an inspection of our apartment. Of course, they wrote a “glowing” review in our favor, even spotting mold in places we didn’t know it existed. Plus, when checking under the sink for leaky pipes, the inspector hit is head on two 3+ inch bolts that [...]

Teeth Are Hard To Come By Comments Off

Autumn lost *two* teeth tonight. I don’t remember losing two on the same night when I was growing up. The first came out around 6:00pm and just a few minutes later, after some tugging by Autumn, she shouted gleefully, “I lost my 5th tooth!”.

Let’s Roll! Comments Off

Aiden is on the move! It’s amazing, but in only four short months, Aiden decided he no longer wanted to lay helplessly on his back. Now he’s taken to the floor by rolling over onto his tummy and using his knees to move about. Sure, he isn’t quite crawling yet but at [...]

Argh! Nintendo, You Suck! Comments Off

Yes, Nintendo sucks. At least they do right now. What in the hell are they thinking over there anyway? Releasing a f-ing “demo disc”:http://cube.ign.com/articles/403/403854p1.html to only be sold *IF* you buy a GameCube? What in the hell is that? If I’m not able to get my hands on one of [...]

Pokemon + Wife = Like Raising Kids? Comments Off

I thought I had a problem. I thought I was the one who was hopelessly addicted to Pokemon, playing an hour a day, sometimes two if I got really lucky or bored. Enter my wife.
My wife has a wonderful job. She is the uber provider and care giver for our [...]

Blogging Can Be Dangerous 2

I’ve had many a web sites in my day, from the really lame ones to some profitable ones. But one that still strikes fear in my mind is the one where I had a “rant” section, pre-blogging days.
The rant section was mainly for, uhm, ranting; usually about whatever or whomever. In one case [...]
