  • Core Incompetency

    In lieu of actual content, I give you a link to Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics’ review of The Core.

    Why? Because it’s fun reading, dammit! And because I have absolutely nothing original to contribute right now. (Must… finish… watching… Rah… Xephon…)

  • Breakfast, Breakfast and Breakfast

    Let me describe a nearly perfect dining day to you.

    Morning: Bowl of chocolatey cold cereal, such as Cocoa Puffs. (This is the “nearly” perfect part. Ordinarily I’d prefer a hot cereal, like cream o’ wheat, with milk and brown sugar. Yum!)

    Lunchtime: Three-egg bacon and cheese omelette, with hash browns on the side and a couple slices of toast with jam. (Sometimes I’ll have ham instead of bacon. Cheese, however, is non-optional!)

    Dinner: French toast with butter, peanut butter and maple syrup. (Bacon and/or sausage links on the side make it that much more perfecter!)

    I’ll grant you that a dietician would heartily (pun intended) disagree with this sort of menu. What can I say? I’m all about the comfort foods and there’s nothing more comforting than a nice breakfast.

    Thanks to Lyse for treating me to a nifty lunch, and thanks to Wendi for having the bright idea of dining on french toast this evening. Mmmmm.

  • Almost done with AS/400 stuff.

    After putting in 57 hours of work last week, today I only added eight more. Everything went smoothly and faster than expected.

    No, really, that’s all I have to say. That, and I’m ever so glad I go on vacation Thursday…

  • Rude Food, Dude

    Via… a series of links I can’t even recall now, I bring you naughty food.

    While you’re there, check out some of the other amusing portions of the site, especially the pranks

  • Past, Present, Future – Round Thirty

    PAST: Even the poorest of us had a few toys, growing up. Which was your favorite?

    PRESENT: Constructive playtime is still a valuable thing for us adult-like personages. What do you play with when you need to cheer up?

    FUTURE: Setting aside, as we tend often to do here, the established laws of physics, probability, supply-and-demand and common sense… if you could create a fantastical toy, what would it be like? (This can be for children and/or adults, in case you’re wondering.)

    Leave a comment with your answers or a link thereto; if you link back here (and we hope you do!) please use the following, which will always point to the latest PPF:

  • Loss, two years past.

    Two years ago on this date my paternal grandmother, Hjordis Kerezman, passed away. She was a smart, caring, capable woman who survived her husband by two decades… primarily by getting out of New York, I suspect. She never knew what happened that morning in her former city of residence, and I count that as a blessing.

    While the rest of America remembers events of greater import, I’ll be over here remembering what a neat lady my Grandma Hjordis was. I leave it to better minds than mine to decide if that makes me unpatriotic or what…
