• The Dutchess of York has an album!?

    08 Sep 2006 » 1 min read about Music & Arts

    When I first saw that Fergie was coming out with an album called Dutchess on September 19, my first thought was are you kidding me? First Weight Watchers, and now a record deal? I didn’t even know she could sing! Of course, once I read the press release, I realized my mistake. Still…

  • Ten years ago…

    08 Sep 2006 » 3 min read

    I’m sure almost no one remembers this, but ten years ago today on September 7, 1996, I got married. Being 34 years old now, I feel somewhat younger, when I realize that I got married 10 years ago. It didn’t last 10 years, of course, but with my memory for dates and events, and with…

  • Workout #24 (lower body w/Bernard)

    08 Sep 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Today was a lower body workout. I turned in my meal log and was mildly chastised for my bad eating on Sunday, when I spent the afternoon with AJ. Other than that, the meal log looks good.

  • Unreasonable Me

    08 Sep 2006 » 4 min read

    Yesterday, I ranted about the lack of reason and critical thinking, and among other things, how it leads to supremely idiotic email. I don’t want to give the impression that I am a perfectly rational being myself, that I am some kind of R. Daneel or Spock. So I thought I’d list a few of…

  • How it should have ended

    I came accross one of these on shunn‘s journal. The Superman one is the funniest, but these are all pretty good.

  • No no-hitter

    I told myself before the Yankees game tonight that I would watch the game until Randy Johnson gave up a hit. As it turns out, I had to wait until the top of the 7th inning before he gave up a hit. The Yanks are winning 5-0. I think it’s safe for me to go…

  • Racism vs. Reason

    06 Sep 2006 » 6 min read

    This afternoon, I got a “forwarded” email message from a cousin of mine that my spam filter marked as junk mail, but whose discretion I chose to ignore and read the message anyway. It was a mistake. The message, to me, seemed like a blatantly racist attack on illegal immegrants, particularly those from Mexico. Ordinarily,…

  • Finished Rollback, part 2

    06 Sep 2006 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    I just finished Rollback part 2 and once again have to wait another month for part 3. I am really enjoying the story so far, and beginning to make some guesses about some of the characters and where they are headed. In the meantime, I’m starting The Wanderer by Fritz Leiber…

  • Modern Times

    06 Sep 2006 » 1 min read about Music & Arts

    Like the rest of America, it would seem, I just bought Bob Dylan’s new album, Modern TImes. It’s the first Dylan album I’ve ever bought and the purchase was highly influenced by Trevor, who seems to think Bob Dylan is the best thing since sliced bread. I had to see what all of the fuss…

  • Ah lunch!

    06 Sep 2006 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    Sometimes, I really look forward to lunch. Today, for example. In about 20 minutes, I’ll pull out the lunch that I packed (PB&J, a peach, some sliced turkey for later on today), take it into my office, close the door, crack open ANALOG, and begin reading part 2 of Rollback. I’ll eat/read for about 30…
