Summertime Rolls

~ flip flops
~ ice cold water on hot, hot days
~ beach sunsets
~ dining al fresco
~ iced vanilla lattes (i know, i know)
~ driving with all of the windows open

Mr. Show

there used to be a show on HBO called Mr. Show. i hadn’t seen it when it was on, but we do have the three seasons on DVD. i can’t really explain it, other than to say it’s very funny. David Cross is the David in “Bob and David” and i’m sure you’ve heard [...]

1. The sagging economy and unemployment rates

Those Darn Zombies

it’s a shame there is really only one specific time of year that seems appropriate (to most) for a horror movie to be released. this is one of the reasons i am very excited that Dawn of the Dead will be released next month. i know horror is a genre not everyone is interested in. [...]

Your Bones Got A Little Machine

Where Am I?

haven’t really felt like writing lately. there have been so many distractions as of late and i need to get back on the wagon. distractions listed in no particular order:

- work: even if i posted it, you [...]

Typepad Question

perhaps this is in the user guide that i haven’t had time to peruse yet. i noticed that when i save a post as a draft and then publish it, it places with a date stamp of the actual day i had first saved and drafted the post. so i just added this post but [...]

Sunday Inspiration

remember how i talk relentlessly about the way my blog looks? well, i’m not the only one obsessed. see, Nigel is too:

most people are familiar with Cafepress and their offering of on-demand printing of products like t-shirts, mugs, mouse pads and other merch. i know people who use it like my friend Mei Chi and saucy lad Chuck. but i had no idea about Lulu and the possibility of publishing books and music in this same [...]
