If stuff this idiotic can be published by a NYT columnist, then I am obviously getting short-changed on the reader count for this blog (not that I don’t love you guys! I do!). Or, I chose the wrong line of work when casting about after the USSR collapsed.
Oh, wait. President Obama is older than I [...]

You know, I don’t actually read comics, graphic novels, whatever, though I do enjoy the films. Why do I need to read them when there is dorky commentary like this just waiting in my RSS reader? So, so awesomely dorky. I don’t understand all of it, but love it anyway! To me, that’s [...]
Senior Night Bits

It’s an early day: Basketball Senior Night for the Dance Team. Zoikes. Just as I stopped feeling old from the Football Senior Night, here comes another one. Plus, I have to take my car in for repairs tonight. (Have I mentioned that it is completely awesome having a mechanic in the family? He’s totally trustworthy! [...]
Black Sky with Alpenglow
Posted in Posts, tagged sunset, tidbits on January 26, 2010 | Comments Off
Yesterday was one of those odd winter days…the January Thaw. 65 blonking degrees, sort of rainy, and very windy. The wacky barometric pressure made my hands ache. It was all very odd. The oddest of all, though, was the light when I left work. Black skies! But still there was alpenglow on the tops of [...]
Tidbits en français

I was so jazzed-up writing about the big games, I forgot your tidbits. I even had a whole français theme ready to go, in celebration of the big Saints victory and the natural alliance between France and Scotland…it’s Burns Night tonight, after all:
Lyric of the day: “dis à quoi tu rêves, rêves, rêves, quand tu [...]

Hole-y Rusted Metal, Batman! It’s been so long, I almost forgot your tidbits!
Lyric of the day: “I’m not blind, and I know that you want to want me but you can’t let go, c’mon, let go”
Flashback of the day: Seeing that star destroyer fill the screen for the first time. That blew my little six-year-old [...]
Welcome Back, it’s Snowflake Season

Did everyone have a great Thanksgiving? I know I did. I decided at virtually the last moment to take last Wednesday off from work, and drive all day to mom’s house instead of all night. It was a good decision. I left early, and though there were a few slowdowns, for the most part the [...]
Basketball Diaries

Wow, yeah, uh, it’s been a busy week. But yesterday, I was able to knock off a touch early to attend the Hoyas’ home opener just down the street at the Phone Booth. It was a thriller! The Hoyas took an eary lead but then seemed to lose their momentum in the second half. They [...]
Park with Care

So, lastnight was a very exciting night at my apartment building, and not in a good way. I was watching TV (true crime, as usual) and relaxing with the kitteh. The window was slightly open since the heat is on in the building now, so it’s often too warm for me. Suddenly, I heard a [...]
Don’t Get Too Close

Folks! What’s happening? Have you missed your trusty blog posts? I know you have.
I’ve been sick as a dog since Wednesday last, and man, let me tell you, it hasn’t been any fun at all. The good news is, it looks like I’m not going to drop dead of the flu! Just have a cold, [...]
