Butts… and I can not lie. This is going to be short, because what I know about me isn’t a whole lot more, and the other stuff which isn’t me directly is just all “awwwww” inspiring in a not terribly awesome way (it can always be worse, of course)… What I do know, after tests [...]

Okay, maybe it’ll be an abdominal hurricaneman… Tomorrow I get to take the extreme happy fun time voyage to DFCI/Faulkner Hospital in Jamaica Plain (which is a pretty ride, but is really curvy, stop and go, and still fast… so I like to look out the window, and it’s kinda nausea inducing). I first have [...]

Is it me, or is the earth rotating faster? And that jerking motion… is the planet jammed on some space junk or something? The last two weeks have been interesting (and not only for me)  and I think it’s only going to get more interesting from here. In my case, I hope so — I [...]

I was going to actually just write a note to my mom, but you know, it’ll be put here anyway and I’m burnt. Also, isn’t everyone a mother somewhere, y’know, deep in their souls? You can feel free to add a suffix to mother if you want, because it still holds true in most cases. [...]

Penny wonders this all the damn time, folks. Mainly because she thinks it must be something awesome. I am not sure how to break it to her. UPDATE: I figure any day I wake up feeling meh about a particular event, but bull and bent on changing the overall situation can’t be all bad… Prior [...]

Don’t tell Mr. Shoe. I have a crush on Teddy Roosevelt. Okay, fine, you can tell him. He already knows. I mean, here’s a guy with asthma, whose mother described his laugh as being similar to creaking door hinge, who wrestled guests in the governor’s mansion and probably planted the idea in his kids’ heads [...]

I may feel tired and ill most of the time, but one thing is certain: I will personally kill with my own two hands and eat anyone who tries to take my shiny new Nikon… Okay, new to me… They are rolling out new models this month. If you didn’t know, cameras are kind of [...]

I realize that any communication with me as of late is a often like having Joyce’s Finnegan’s Wake read to you. At bedtime. It’s tough to follow. I don’t know where I go off track, but I do. I know it, and I don’t make even make sense to me sometimes. It’s a comforting thought [...]

It’s probably not a real surprise to hear that when I write anything — anything — I absolutely hate coming up with a headline or title. Probably my favorite title for a piece was a line I lifted from Sojourner Truth, and I’m not sure that necessarily counts. So… sue me. No, really, don’t. You’ll [...]

For those breathlessly awaiting an update… I had a kernel and libc patch applied to the Ubuntu install on my laptop — usually a kernel update and without fail a libc update would completely FUBAR my laptop and often meant it was easier to reinstall Ubuntu. Eight months ago I suspected it was my hard [...]
