Eyes are throbbing in their sockets, damned cats causing trouble, outside more than inside but the effects are far-reaching, all the way onto my damned sofa. Headache’s killing me, and the switch from sleeping to insomnia is a bitch. Evil visions at night, sometimes during the day, too, too much imagination, too small a pipe [...]
When you are in high school you cannot imagine how anything you are doing in school could possibly have any effect on your real life. Sure, your parents and guidance counselors try to steer you toward choices that will have an impact on your eventual paycheck, and in those too-rare moments of intellectual lucidity you [...]
Damn. Through the curse of poor office ergonomics I have managed to injure a muscle around my shoulder blade, making typing difficult. When your day job revolves around digital communication, this is a Bad Thing. Steps are being taken to correct the symptom, and with luck, to address the root cause, as well. But posting [...]
Thirty years ago I graduated from South Plantation High School. In spite of never having attended a reunion so far, and having no anticipation of seeing anyone I knew in more than a pass-in-the-hall manner, I’ve decided to attend this one. I suppose one of my few traits unchanged for thirty years is my curiosity, [...]
Yes, this took me long enough, I know. I hope it is still of some interest. On my way home from an off-site meeting in western Broward I found myself in a bit of a situation. I was waiting at a traffic light when another car slammed into me from behind. I was startled, but [...]

This could be Andrea. More importantly, is it pronounced an-DRAY-ah, or AN-dree-uh? UPDATE: She’s officially Subtropical Storm Andrea. She’s also pretty much insignificant right now. Share/Bookmark
Here’s a YouTube video mixing the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings films with Johnny Cash singing the classic “Ring of Fire.” Yes it’s silly, but I love LotR and the Man in Black, so get over it. But just so I don’t hear any noise, there are plenty of spoilers for the movies in [...]
I am experimenting with Twitter, which is — apparently — intending for people who think that blog posts require too much effort. I’ve spent some time trolling through the Twit-o-sphere™ and it is, by and large, people telling the world what they are eating and who they just saw at Starbucks. While ti is web-friendly, [...]
Here’s an item of interest to Bjork fans who couldn’t manage to get tickets to her shows around the country. Her concert tomorrow night in NYC is being broadcast live on NPR. Note that it isn’t being broadcast over WLRN, but just directly from NPR.org. (Thanks to Silvia for the tip.) Share/Bookmark
This morning I walked out to my car and found a small black cloth-wrapped parcel on the trunk. After a couple of gingerly tugs I was able to determine that it contained a dead pigeon. Fortunately it was trash day, so I was able to deposit the unfortunate avian into the trash can and head [...]
I’m tied up with a bit of research. The “getaway” story will be up sometime Thursday. Share/Bookmark
There are days when I have to think about a topic for this site, weighing the pros and cons of various esoteric essays and the effort required to compose them. Sometimes I just opt for saying nothing because I don’t want to be someone who blogs about their intestinal distress (as a friend of mine [...]
