My Cat Doesn't Understand Short-Term Love

2008-07-16T05:34:43Z

The little grey American Shorthair lived feral for a while, out in the alleys before we adopted him, which means he'll never be totally emotionally right. He's jumpy at all times, seemingly unable to experience pleasure because of his constant nee...

Yahoo! is a Mess

2007-12-16T20:24:56Z

How is Babby Formed (flash, w/ sound) is just another another ROFL internet meme and I too have rolled on the floor with it. On second thought, it saddened me as yet another example of how Yahoo! is filled with garbage. Yahoo! is an interesting po...

The Serenity Prayer

Alcoholics Anonymous call this "The Serenity Prayer:" God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference. Here's what I want to know. It's a prayer. ...

BART, our regional transit system, is run like a business and advertises on billboards and such to increase ridership. Sometimes I like their ads, like the one that shows one of their commuter trains full of passengers, with the tagline: "500 MPG...

Ouch

2007-02-16T23:41:42Z

I have a headache which is more like a tumbleweed of pain that spills out from my left ear canal and branches to ensconce the rest of my skull. I can't stop thinking it's a tumor. Feels like something is out of place in my cranium, expanding to c...

The Church of Wonder

2007-01-17T02:52:26Z

I think I'm going to found a religion today. I'm not really sure what to call it, but the principles of it are pretty clear to me after many years of ponderous consideration on the subject: 1) Science can and will ultimately describe and explain ...

There is a faint Cantonese whisper in my ear

2007-01-06T02:32:13Z

What sounded at first like mumbling from the distant car radio of someone parked across the street turned out to be a faint, faint voice coming out of my own computer's subwoofer, situated under the desk. It is very low volume, and as it's under t...

I am a psychic, psychic man. I'm sensing you don't believe me...

Usually in my home we wait until the house is completely empty of food before we go food shopping. We both cook and we're both good scroungers so often we skate by for several days after, seemingly, all the food is gone. Needless to say, what with...

Ah I Love Fresh Starts

2006-12-31T06:57:57Z

I've never been afraid to toss out everything I've ever done and double my aspirations at the same time. In fact I think the only way you can blow away your aspirations is to see everything you've ever accomplished as a path you've been walking do...
