A Beautiful Lie

During my workout this morning, I decided to see if there was anything new on MTV or VH1 that might catch my ear.  Being old and crotchety, I’m not exactly up-to-date on the latest musical trends, so every now and again I’d like to see if something new pops up that doesn’t totally suck.  Imagine [...]

Back From the Mountains

So I’m back.  Took a (much needed) four-day vacation up to the Blue Ridge Mountains to visit the folks and had an awesome time.  If I had a brain in my head, I would have taken pictures to share with you on my dusty, little-used Flickr stream, but I didn’t.  I was much too busy [...]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day 2008

It seems just wrong all over that St. Patty’s is on a Monday this year.  A Monday where I have to work, no less.  How lame.  Anyway, I’m wearing my green and I decided to share with you my favorite song to play on St. Patty’s.  Here’s Black 47’s "Funky Ceili."

Enjoy.  Also, don’t forget [...]

If I Could Talk to the Animals

The kooky folks at YABS once again put a smile on my face by pointing this bit of news out to me.  Being an animal lover and a big ol’ sucker for a feelgood story, I decided to share.  Being a smartass, I couldn’t help but giggle at what I imagine the dolphin actually said [...]

Tzatziki Love

Oh tzatziki, how yummy are you?  I think it’s Greek for "awesomesauce" or something.  My honey made me some last night, and I have the leftover for lunch today.  Good with pita, chicken, or both.  I like it with lime tortilla chips.  Anyway, I sing his praises because I finally found something that hasn’t upset [...]

Let the Sunshine In

I’m smack in the middle of spring break here at the library.  (The kids are gone–yay!–but I still have to work–boo!)  The sun is out, and I have the window in my office open in hopes of reviving my poor little anemic-looking plant, Rupert.  The light feels like heaven against my back even if [...]

RIP, Dungeon Master

I know I should have said something about this forever ago, but I just didn’t know what to say about it that every other geek has already said.  Anyway, the world of geek took a huge blow on the 4th when Gary Gygax died.  Say what you want about D&D, but it gave me hours [...]

Happy Blogsiversery to Me!

I started this blog a year ago today.  Hard to believe, eh?  I’ve learned so much about how this bloggedy blog thing works, and I still wish I knew code, but it’s been a fun little experiment so far.  I’m glad I started it up, and I’m really happy with all the fun online friends [...]

Countdown To Spring

I have to work today, which sucks a whole heck of a lot.  The good news is that Spring seems to be on its way.  The weather was lovely enough that, if I were at home, I could enjoy a full day of open windows.  I had forgotten just how good the sun could feel.  [...]
