Ed chose Carol. Frankie, sorry, this makes two sitcoms on which you've been dumped. Jeremy had enough of your craziness on Sports Night and Ed had to go with his heart on, uhhhh, Ed. Will I be kicked out of the Strong Male Union™ for admitting that tonight's episode put me in a pretty mushy […]

Today my coffee table was delivered. You can see it below, complete with Learning Perl and Programming Perl along with Computer Forensics, some circuit board coasters, and my 12" PowerBook. The coffee cups? Well, those are for "my buddy" Jamie, who made me get a coffee pot, a blender, and this table in the first […]

Bean sprouts were nourished with beer, milk, coffee, pop (soda to you weird folks), green bean juice, and water. The bean sprouts that had […]

Matt is back from vacation and announces that he's engaged. Couldn't happen to a, uhh, more irate guy. In other news, I finally bought a coffee table. Not quite as romantic, eh? Oh well. Congratulations Matt. Congratulations Fiona.

In this article, which originally appeared on Salon and is now on IndieBride.com, Lori Leibovich puts forth the possibility that the key to a long-term Relationship (with an uppercase 'R') is flirting.

Why is it that you can lay on the beach, and then get tired? What about the sun, and getting cancer a tan, that fatigues you? The small headache I have right now I can understand - I haven't eaten much today and try as I might, I couldn't block the sun from making my […]

I can now safely say that 5.8's are well within my abilities as a rock (wall) climber. After beating a few 5.9's and 5.8's, towards the end of my climbing session tonight, I tried 5.8 I'd never done before and climbed fairly easily to the top, no problems. The 5.8 that's been giving me trouble […]

Outscoring your opponents 33-11 is nothing to be sneezed at, nor is scoring 33 runs in […]

My friend Dave comes over once a week to watch Ed, West Wing, and Fastlane (usually on Wednesdays, which means now that Ed and Fastlane are repeats for me). It's a good time: we have some pizza, we argue a little in good fun, we bitch about the women in our lives, etc. Today Dave […]

This morning I went to Albertson's to grab some ham, some bacon, and some OJ. They open at 6, and I had yet to go to sleep, so I wanted a real breakfast. I gathered my items (the bacon is not near the ham, as I discovered, but is instead by the cheese - sandwich […]

R.E.M., my favorite band, has a stream of a war-track The Last Straw on their site. If hatred makes a play on me tomorrow And forgiveness takes a back seat to revenge There's a hurt down deep that has not been corrected There's a voice in me that says you will not win. Reminded via […]
