I just got out of the shower where Luka and I were doing a risk/benefit assessment of toasted vs. untoasted Poptarts.  The well-rested brain is a beautiful but dangerous thing.  After our brains are nice and marinated in snoozing-juices, we can discuss at length what would have happened in Jurasic Park if they woulda dropped Jeff Goldblum's chaos- ( Read more... )

In these last cuppala weeks, Skullard and his dear lady have been a two tired turtles.  The Xmas delivery season, most specifically the weather that crashed down upon it, thrashed me heartily, bot' body an' soul.  "Merry Christmas" was never answered with "Bah-humbug" from my frozen lips, but there were times when "yeah, yeah - whutever" had to ( Read more... )

This is really the first day the roads have been down-right hazardous, so I'm glad it happened on a Monday.  Monday's are always just a little bit lighter, freight-wise, so I can take the roads slower and let the other people make the mistakes.  This will be my last "easy Monday" until Christmas is done, though.  'Tis the season.

I'm in a much better mood today, and it's all Luka's fault.  The thoughts in my head have gently turned toward sex instead of violence.  If any of you reading this are interest in what you can do to improve the mindset of the one you care about, leopard-print satin jammies can really do wonders.  (Print and style are subject to change according to ( Read more... )

One of the highest joys of marriage, for me at least, is that group-mind you eventually achieve with your mate.  Luka and I finish more and more of each other's thoughts as the years go by, and where that would irritate me with most folks, with her I just end up laughing.

Luka (in the a.m. hours before I head off to work):  Geez, you're moaning like ( Read more... )

If you don't have one around where you live, Cub Foods is a big-ass grocery store chain.  And yes, they do sell to people with big asses.  I saw an SUV in a parking lot for a local grocery store, not Cub, that had a big red "I heart My Cub" sticker across the top of the driver's side window.  So, of course I'm thinking, "You disloyal scum.  You've ( Read more... )

Perhaps I've taken this age-regression thing too far.  For the last several weekends I've been spending most of my free time downloading anime and converting it so that I can watch it on my TV.  TONS of anime.  More than I have the time to watch.  Past that I'm reading adventure material in prep for my and Luka's roleplaying sessions.  Is this the ( Read more... )

Luka has a very literal sense of humor.  Our welcome mat in front of our door says, "Hi, I'm Mat."  The personallized plate on our car says, "CAR".  It is for her that I post the following:
