New Exercise #1, and why it hurts sometimes to be a bodybuilder
Hey, everybody. Well, it's January and that means I'm going to try again to be a good regular poster. This time, I've decided what I've been missing is some focus areas (actually from the looks of early last year, I've decided that before). Logically, I should be posting about what I spend most of my free time on, weightlifting. Or is that surfing ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Laptop FRIED!!! And not in a tasty breaded way, either. A couple of weeks ago when all the family was over and I needed to work on my paper, I took it out onto the back porch and worked out there all night in the dampish coolness. Well, it appears you aren't supposed to do that. I took laptop to a hole in the wall place near the Burlington Coat ( Read more... ) -
The plot reddens
About 3 weeks ago I was riding on the W&OD trail, and I got off and walked into the woods to take some shots of some abandoned stuff. I came home with no pictures, since I forgot my camera, but I did have a bunch of interesting new bug bites all over my feet and crazy itchy.

Blogging David Copperfield: Chapter 2,"I Observe"

Blogging David Copperfield, Chapter 1
Chapter 1, "I Am Born", starts off with David letting us know he was born on the stroke of midnight, and how the townfolk considered it an omen of bad luck. He was also born with a membrane covering his head, and the fact that he survived long enough to have it removed is a sign that he will never drown. Someone, I guess his mom, tries to auction ( Read more... ) -
48HFP Baltimore
I don't know how well the editing's going but we got finished with the major filming at 6:30 last night. They used the second floor of the Crystal City Sports Bar, a typical softly-lit, lots of wood and brass kind of place. Genre was holiday movie; character was (a name I forget), "house painter extraordinaire", the line was "I can't remember * ( Read more... ) -
Burgers à la twat prétentieux
I grilled burgers this Memorial Day Weekend, but I compromised the quintiessential American-ness of the tradition by trying to make the burgers taste like the great kobedah kabobs I've been trying at the mediterranian grill places lately. (I still get points for using a charcoal grill, right? What's more American than burning Kingsford? C'mon, I'm ( Read more... )
