Look -- I've come to the realization that no, I'm not the center of the universe and yes, workers are people too and yes, being a postal worker is a tough job. Besides all the 'going postal' jokes, the crusades through all weather that is freezing-ass cold or near hurricane, they have to drive that itty-bitty car/truck thing around and carefully go ( Read more... )

So, I caught massive air while Twilight Sledding this evening.

I think I broke my ass/tailbone.

Totally worth it.

TWO HOURS OF SHOVELING = PAAAAAIN.

However, our sidewalk, front drive and curb now look rather fantastic.

In other scintillating, less back-breaking topics:

THIS EVENING, I SHALL PARTICIPATE IN WHAT IS KNOWN AS TWILIGHT SLEDDING. IT'S LIKE DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH YOUR HEADLIGHTS OFF, ONLY MORE EXCITING AND DANGEROUS.

I PROBABLY SHOULD GO BUY GROCERIES ( Read more... )

The Before:

Uneventful.

The Voyage:

Good down to Denver, mostly dry and only cold. Yaaay.

Bad up to Wyoming -- 60mph gusts up 'til Casper. Times like this when I really do appreciate small cars and their lower centers of gravity. It's no fun being pushed around the highway like a giant, Detroit-steel punching bag.. And then we had a New Year's ( Read more... )

 Oh, Frank Miller was on a role with 300 and Sin City. They were fun, but gritty, and they weren't so hammy that I felt myself snorting into my popcorn.

But he  kinda flew in on the FAIL! Plane with The Spirit.

The graphics were -- as always -- interesting. Costumes were bad-ass, etc. etc. But the plot would've made old Eisner cringe, and the ( Read more... )

So, the good news:

Life Drabbles. Based on lyrics from the fanmix you can find here, and at the bottom of this page. Because I'm evil, and I want you to read first. Even though you can scroll through and get to the bottom, anyway.

Mememe, ordered from a crazy Canuck known as inactivism .

The first five people to comment in this post get to request a simple sketch of a character (or whatever) of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their drawing ability level. If you absolutely can't draw, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer ( Read more... )

Teacher: So, we need you to write an editorial by tomorrow. *
Me: On the Big Three?
Teacher: Yes.
Me: By tomorrow
Teacher: Um, yeah. Because we're not going to do Cass's editorial on Prop 8 until next issue, so...
Me: Okay.
Teacher: Cool.
Me: *inner synapses combusting* Um, how shall I go about this?
Teacher: I was thinking discussing where the ( Read more... )
