And here we have evidence of either future genius or obsessive-compulsive behavior (as if the two are mutually exclusive). Gabriel counted each of these cheerios as he laid them out on the table.

I just found this beautiful quote from Jon Stewart from a couple years ago:

[Bush is] not a stupid man…. No, stupid people can’t navigate their way through the world. Bush has navigated his way through the world with a ruthless ambition couched in lethargy. That’s not stupid; that’s brilliant! “I’m gonna do nothin’ till I’m […]

So, back when Ari was in the hospital, she and I watched an episode of Star Trek: Next Generation for the first time in probably years. I’d forgotten how much I love STNG. The episode was Darmok. It had Paul Winfield in it who more recently served as narrator for City Confidental which I always […]

No more crazy dreams. That’s good.
I can’t remember who asked this - can’t remember if it was a blog somewhere or something on t.v. - but someone asked what’s the one song that can instantly make you feel better no matter how blue you are? For me, that song is I’m On Fire by Bruce […]

I had crazy, crazy dreams last night. The first, which woke me up at around 3am, had these two men who were wrapping up a third man in a fishing net. Then they took out a two-man cross-cut saw, the kind you use to cut down large trees, and they cut off the third man’s […]

As in, to wig; Or, wig out. Used in a sentence: Dude, he totally wigged out. That’s what my dog is most likely doing right this minute. You see, there’s a huge monster thunderstorm bowling over Austin right now. Miles - big bad Miles with the sharp teeth and evil-ass bark that scares all the […]

I haven’t bitched about SCO in a while, so here goes. I know you’re as obsessed with the whole SCO/IBM battle as I am, so I won’t remind you that SCO is suing IBM for allegedly “stealing” (expensive) SCO Unix code which they then allegedly added to the (free) Linux kernel. I also won’t remind […]

It’s been one hell of a week, I’ll tell you that. We’d hoped Ari would only have to be in the hospital for a day, but it was bad enough that she needed to stay for two. They had her on oxygen the whole time. Every six hours they gave her Albuterol, which is that […]
