Towels

  • Posted in Stuff

I made a grave mistake a couple weeks back. In my own unique style of doing things, I neglected to grab my wife’s towel from the towel hanger and place it near the shower enclosure along with my own prior to a nightly shower. I was verbally abused. Very verbally. Lots of verbs [ READ MORE ]

10 little monkeys jumping on a bed

  • May 23rd, 2008
  • Posted in Stuff

That is how most of my meetings feel… 10 monkeys arguing over completely different points, and they all think it is the same idea. One falls down and breaks his head. He falls down because he gets slapped down by someone’s else’s political power, even if the poor monkey’s way is the best way, [ READ MORE ]

Albuquerque: Color me NOT impressed

  • May 12th, 2008

Scrub, desert, beautiful arid mountains – love it. Homes caving in and and disgustingly dirty streets, store fronts and homes? Am I in Afghanistan or Baghdad? Good heavens, this place is a pit. Seriously. You would think a city founded in 1708 (yes I learned something!) would be a bit more refined. I [ READ MORE ]

Two words, plus requisite emphasized punctuation, to review the entire movie: “FUCKING SWEET (PERIOD)” I will have to see it again. Probably the best Marvel movie to date by far… perhaps even better than Spidey 2. [ READ MORE ]
