He’d been acting funny all day. The office was the office but different. Different equipment. Differ layout. Different furniture. Different building. Different town. But somehow only I know that the setting is wrong. Something was different with his attitude too. The same laid-back perhaps even pacifist dude he’s always been but hiding something. And maybe […]
I submit my FSM web badge and instead they post this! Simply an outrage! I hope (for their credibility’s sake) that it was submitted prior to mine… May His Noodliness strike down the Undrained! ramen
The Jacket – – think Memento without the harsh nihilism. Adrien Brody is Jack Starks, a Purple Heart-ish Gulf War vet that gets stuck with a murder charge and packed away to an institution in Vermont. (“Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity” is not without its malign.) This tale spins nice moral/ethical circles re: what […]
Alternate childhood. Something about separated (divorced?) parents. Mostly I stay with my dad (who looks nothing like my really real dad — this guy has a construction mustache and is bigger in the shoulders). And he loves me (which is good) but he’s selfish and something of a child himself. He doesn’t have much money […]
I may have said it before… Maybe not… But: aSofterWorld is the best web-comic (if you can call it a “comic”) ever. EVER. So poignant. So funny. Every time. The first one makes me want to simultaneously laugh and cry every single time that I see it. Every single time. currently playing: Delerium “Orbit of […]
Get started w/ launchd rather than cron Malkovich to death… Figure out some other way to automate exports from iCal to phpCal since there more/less isn’t an ics file to copy w/ a shell script any more and AppleScript support for iCal’s export feature is confusing and weak at best… currently playing: Amon Tobin “Reanimator”
Mom & Dad wrote a memoir. And in it, there is a detailed description about their first place. They describe it as a ‘two-room efficiency without the second room’. Their description continues to elaborate on how there was a single bedroom crowded with a too-small bed and a too-small dresser and a too-large sink and […]
First… Some hot linking action via Boing^2: 17th Annual China Harbin Sun Island International Snow Sculpture Art Fair – – snow and ice festival in “China’s northernmost (and easternmost) metropolis”. Neat pics. Hunter S. Thompson’s ashes go out with a bang R.I.P. Bob Moog. Spent the weekend catching up on house chores. Recycling, birthday present […]
Fall. Our house but somehow morphed into my grandparents’ old Gorham, Maine house. The never-used front of it at least. Right down to that weird front door and the ancient tree. But it was Our Dining Room in the front wing that exists on neither house. Fall had just set in. And the big tree […]
NYC2123: Cyberpunk(ish) comic. Gritty style. I like it.
