Oh, holy crap… I can’t believe it’s June 19th already. And I squandered the opportunity to needle about his turning 31 three weeks ahead of me. Let’s get to the Year in Review: One Year Ago Today: Turning 30 sucked ass. Mostly because hardly anyone remembered that I was turning thirty in the first place. …

Santa & Me or The Case of the Magical Invisible Fat Man
Today’s Holidailies prompt is: Today is St. Nicholas’ Day: Did you believe in Santa Claus/Father Christmas? How did you find out the truth? Would you tell your kids about Santa? I’m pretty sure my parents went out of their way to preserve the fantasy-as-reality of Santa Claus. Up until the age of ten or eleven, …

Rant: For the Sake of the Children…
I read in today’s entertainment newsfeed that the FCC wants pay TV to do more on decency. Okay, well, first of all, pay TV is really all about choosing to pay for the uncensored stuff. I like HBO shows to be straight up girtty, funny, with full on foul language and sex. I mean, I …

When the Muse Calls Collect, You Gotta Accept the Charges…
I have this new story idea brewing. It’s sci-fi, of course, but I’m trying to ease myself into a semi-contemporary type of manner. It might seem like I’m ripping off Time Trax (that old PTEN TV show), but I’m trying to keep it humor-infused… anyway, I want to post what I wrote, here, and I’d …

All You Need to Know About Mexican Food…
The true mark of how good a Mexican restuarant is lies with how well they do the simplest things. I can order up a plate of tamales and be dazzled by the kaleidoscope of taste from the more complicated dishes, but if I ever really wanted to test the traditional nature of a restaurant’s style …

I’m as helpless as a kitten in a tree…
I’m engaged to Julia. We’re going to get married. Those two phrases keep repeating in my head, in spite of this being a dreadful day at work. Right about now the remorse of the decision should be setting in like it did with Stephanie, but it’s not coming. I keep waiting for the fear to …

Love Changes Everything
The funny thing about crushes is that usually, I’ll suppress and dismiss them. Sometimes, they get squashed by perhaps a reality of the personality of the person I’m crushing on. Sometimes, I realize there’s just no way and I’ll defeat myself right then and there. Sometimes, they lead to a close friendship. Rarely do they …

AX2K5: Days Three and Four!
Because of the very late night, there was yet another late wake-up the next day. We rolled out of the beds at around noon-ish, in time to head back to the dealer’s room and check out the whole thing (because the day before it was a cursory appearance). Jenn took off, Jody went to go …
