Getting old sucks, but if George Carlin can reach 70 and still be convincingly angry at least my potential for a few more good years is looking better.
I last saw George Carlin at a club in New York a full life-time ago. I don’t even remember when it was and i only understood portions [...]

I may have watched the two worst movies recently made by the “political-entertainment” complex of Hollywood. See, i watched Danny Boyle’s “Sunshine” and Frank Miller’s “300″ basically back-to-back.
Both of these guys A: need a hug, and B: need to come out of the freakin’ closet! Honestly guys, just admit you’re gay, you’re rich, and it [...]

I’ve reset to the “Blue Zinfandel” theme. That über western motif theme i had going for a while was fun, but it was tiring.
Annette is here until Sunday. We’ve had what could be described as a “normal” week here in Boise. In a way this current situation is like some kind of an experiment. [...]

“How can they eat food, and listen to shit?” asks Sabina in “The Unbearable Lightness of Being”.
I suppose i’m simply spoiled. Years ago my college was an early adopter of the NEXT computer. I forget which generation populated one of the “computer rooms” in the lower level of the library, but i do know it [...]

Gee, do you think it might be for sale?

It’s quite a bit colder in Boise than it was in NYC and there is grass-covering snow in the front yard. My house here faces North so in the winter the front area is like Antarctica; no sun shines on the snow fields of Bethel Street.
This most [...]
