Been a while and no updates from me. I haven't abandoned ol' Livejournal, since it treats me well. With, I suppose, my old account combined with firefox's adblock plug-in, I don't see any advertising content, and so that's good. I do have a Dreamwidth account now (Thanks Catharine!), which is under the same name as this'n. I haven't done ( Read more... ) -
Reason # 32 I like Madison
Got into town last night, took the dog for a walk. After the walk it was too late to pick up a bike tire (there will be a bicycle based post coming up soon as I have been a busy boy with the wrench), so I rode over to the east side of town where there is a late staying open sort of coffee house named Escape.

seriously... what the hell?
How the hell am I supposed to cope with being abruptly dumped for someone else, to whom my ex is, little over a month after said dumping, engaged to? I guess they're soul mates or something.

Bike folks, and others too.

Basically, if you donate to Somaly Mam, an organization devoted to ending sexual slavery of children, Rivendell will credit you up to $100 in matching credit for their online store (or if you live in the San Francisco area, you could ( Read more... ) -

Long time no see.
Oh, hi! I didn't see you there. Haven't talked to you in a while... ooh, this pair of scisssors has molybdenum in it. I like molybdenum. I'm keeping up with what all y'all are writing, just haven't been communicado myself, as happens variously, not due to nothing happening or even not having time to do post, but just 'cause ( Read more... ) -
On November 2nd we lose a giant...

If you haven't heard yet, Berke Breathed is ceasing and desisting Opus, his Sunday strip of the last 5 years, the follow up to Bloom County and Outland. He explains his reasons to Salon here, more cogently and hilariously than I could sum up. Most importantly, he "likes turtles". I hadn't seen this thing, which is apparently a youtube ( Read more... )
