I Can't Deal
I like a nice conspiracy theory as much as the next guy, but I've really had it up to here with the tinfoil hat wearing nutjobs. I guess its just 9/11 bringing them out of the woodwork, but I seem to be running into these guys all over the net in the past couple of days.

Pegasus Awards
Well, I decided that if I'm serious about being in the filk community, I should vote on the Pegasus Awards, even if the likelihood of me actually going to OVFF is slim to none.

Post-Bash Ennui

Filking was fairly non-existant except for Sunday night, when Steve Savitsky, I and a couple of others tried ( Read more... ) -
Very First Entry
OK, I've been avoiding this for a long time, now, but I figure that I ought to at least have a page. No promises on regular updates, or even whether or not this will ever get updated at all. I guess that I've always wondered whether or not I have anything useful to say. Or rather, whether or not anyone would ever be interested in what I have to ( Read more... )
