Snippet Wednesday 2013.24...
I promise... no 30 Days Of photos in this post. That will be separate. This will be a real post. And a Snippet Wednesday, to boot! These are inspired by Tweets I either wrote or read this week. Credit will... Continue reading

We did make them. We bought the wooden letters but did all the LEGOing.

Snippet Wednesday 2013.22...
Coffee... tea... or Snippet Wednesday? I hope you said the third one. I'm too tired and lazy to make you either of the other two. #NationalRunningDay Did you know that today is supposedly National Running Day? I had no idea until I saw all my Twitter running pals Tweeting like mad about it t...
I hope they learn from mistakes and feedback. They did send me a survey.

Urban Warrior Dash: A Recap...
The UWD has come and gone and, as the saying goes, I'm no worse for wear. That's not true. If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook or you were there with me, you know that's a load of crap. Let's recap this mutha step by step, shall we? Katie, Nathan, and I arrived at Soldier Field in Chicago a...
I still have time left.

Snippet Wednesday: 2013.23...
Let's tear through this Snippet Wednesday before the predicted high winds and rain tear through me! Ready? Set? GO! Unchained As a comic book reader, I've found that one of the oddest things is that I have trouble getting into classic superhero stories. If I'd been reading them for years, it mi...

This would've been so much cooler with a macro lens... Right now, Katie and I are rooting for the Spurs in what could be the deciding game of the NBA Finals. Not that we're San Antonio fans, we just both... Continue reading

Yeah, I don't make them much anymore either. We all skipped our mix disc swap at Christmas last year.

Tu(n)esday: Mix Tapes...
Ah, the good old days of mix tapes/CDs! Remember making mix tapes for family or friends or that girl you had a crush on? Remember spending hours picking the songs, picking the order, listening to it to make sure it was perfect? Several weeks ago, I found an old Case Logic CD book that contained ...

I don't know how you could possibly not know what happened yesterday in Littleton, Colorado. At least two gunmen (three suspected) walked into a high school and started opening fire and setting off homemade bombs. Jesus, what is it with... Continue reading

I really hate it when Hollywood works in themes. 1986 = Top Gun and Iron Eagle. 1987 = Platoon, Full Metal Jacket and Hamburger Hill. The 1990s disaster rage = Twister, Tornado, Dante's Peak, Volcano, Deep Water (title?), Armageddon, Deep... Continue reading

Well this should be no surprise... I'm thinking of changing the topic of my term paper in my Scorsese class yet again. If you recall, I started out wanting to talk about the influence of his independent films. Next, I... Continue reading

Happy Day-After-April-Fools-Day!! Yesterday was interesting. A couple other staff members keyed into my apartment and tried to see if they could get away with some of my stuff. I'm so anal retentive that I knew everything that was gone. Sad,... Continue reading

I don't understand this one... Dr. Jack Kevorkian (the beloved "Doctor Death") was convicted on 2nd degree murder charges for killing one of his patients. Why?!?! The patient requested that Kevorkian end his life. The patient's family knew and understood... Continue reading

Okay, this will be a long one... after all, it's Oscar night! I'm happy, shocked, and pissed all at the same time. Amazing that an awards show could do that to me. I'm shocked that James Coburn and Roberto Benigni... Continue reading

Okay, I changed my mind about my project topic. It's not going to be about the independent film aspect of Martin Scorsese's career like I was thinking about earlier (see 20 Feb 1999). Instead, I'm now gonna research the benefits... Continue reading

Good! That racist, murdering sonuvabitch John William King was not only convicted of capital murder, but was also sentenced to death by lethal injection. I don't know how you can't know this story, but, just in case... three white supremacists... Continue reading
