Immortality

I’m sort of playing catch up on some of the post topics for the Post a Day 2011, so I get to pick and choose from some of the topics from before.  I’ve decided to go with the one about immortality, and whether I would want it and why. Immortality is one of those things …

Introducing Myself to Holidailies 2010

Welcome to another year of Holidailies!  You don’t know what Holidailies is?  It’s kind of like NaNoWriMo, but with blogging.  You blog every day for 31 days and hope to make it to the end of the month without missing a day.  I did it in 2006 (8 days before losing the momentum) and 2007 …

On the Writing Front

Before I begin: Look!  New header graphic!  I decided that since I’m restarting things a little bit, I’d spruce up the place with a change in the header.  It’s subdued, isn’t it?  I was going for something a little low-key, in light of the previous graphic, which was white on black, with a pixelated graphic …

We Live Here Now

Did you know that I’ve never seen all of Studio 60?  This is because toward the end of the season, I wanted to hold off from experiencing the letdown of a series being canceled just as it was getting good.  And this isn’t the first time that I’ve experienced this kind of entertainment pain.  I …

Netflix’ing the Night away…

Like most new toys, one plays with them pretty incessantly upon arrival.  Christmas morning growing up, I think once all the presents were opened, the rest of the day was battle between parent and child, over getting ready for the family dinner and playing with the new toys.  Well shit, folks, you gave me the …

Power Outage

I was all prepared to go to work on Friday morning, but the weather had other plans for me. I woke up a little later than usual, and began my morning routine only to have the power go out on me. Not once, but twice. The first time happened while I was brushing my teeth …

Short Weeks are Awesome!

It feels like Tuesday night, but it’s actually Thursday.  I love short weeks!  Tomorrow’s Friday and then after a day spent getting the car ready, we’re off to Anaheim for a few days.  I’m looking forward to it.  I also love that I only have to work one day next week.  Of course, this means …

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas…

This is the third Christmas that Julia have spent together since we started dating, but the second since we married in April, 2006. As I sit here in the overnight hours of Christmas Eve, having enjoyed Julia’s orange chicken dinner that she made specifically for the occasion, I’ve come to realize that I’m really very …

A Winter Without Snow

Today’s Holidalies prompt is: “Have you ever had a winter without snow?” I live in California, so the answer is going to be yes.  Pretty much every year since birth has been a winter without snow. Though, we did, one year, venture up to Lake Tahoe and enjoyed the snow, but otherwise… snow doesn’t fall …

Golden Compass

One of my friends took me out to see The Golden Compass tonight.  It was all right… I suppose.  I did not read the book it was based on, but then again, I’m not really all that into fantasy.  I much prefer the logic of science-fiction, I guess.  It was entertaining, at the very least, …
