It’s a nice leather sofa bed, paid $2500 new just under three years ago. Dunno what it’s worth now that it appears to stained in multiple places with indelivle blue ink. You’d think I’d be mad, but for whatever reason I seem to be accepting the fact that it’s wrecked without a lot of fireworks. […]

I helped my brother move my… err… his TV today and, although I’m choked about letting it go, it’s going to a good home. The thing weighs around 280 pounds, and the two of us got it out of my house, onto his truck, to his house via the 417, and into the living room […]

Last night was quite possibly one of the worst demonstrations of professional football I have ever seen. The Renegades stunk the joint out against the Tiger Pussies. Kerry Joseph showed more than a little rust, the team as a whole took an unbelievable number of penalties, and coach Pao Pao’s play-calling was uninspired, to say […]

…my TV is sold. I’m not sure whether to click my heels in joy, laugh about the stupidity of it all, or cry as I kiss away 60% of its value. Oh well, I’ll have a living/dining room and a bit of cash in the bank. Let us never speak of this again.

I bought a couple CDs today. One had a track called “PUNK A** B****”, the other had a track called “Stank A** H**”. That made me laugh. I don’t know why. Update: Ok, I know why. I can’t figure out why anyone would bother to use “*”‘s instead of the proper characters; it’s not like […]

So, I went to see the doctor about my calf today. It was a typical appointment – wait 30 minutes past the appointment time, spend 15 minutes going over the problem with a (very nice) doctor-in-training, and then get told “You probably tore it in May and that created a bunch of scar tissue. Last […]

…does anyone care that the Summer Olympics start in a couple weeks? I know I’m having a hard time pretending to be interested. It’s really sad, because the folks that are participating have been working hard to get there, and deserve some respect and appreciation, but it’s been hard to come by. It’s a big […]

…and just like that, the euphoria over an amazing weekend is gone. My trainer and I decided it was time to step running up a bit, and start with some lower intensity speed work. I did my warmup, stretched everything out, and started the zone 2 run. A little bit into the run, something let […]

Ok, that was a weekend well seized. I had the opportunity and honour of playing with number of the folks from ÜberSküber this weekend at the Co-ed Jamboree out at UPI. I was really, really nervous about playing with a bunch of folks I had never met, and had butterflies for the first time since […]
