Last night was opening day for DC’s first baseball team in 34 years — and boy was it a cold, spring evening fans. I felt sorry for the guy that didn’t look at the forecast in the next [...]
“with more washing up each day…”
…was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Last night, I was reminded of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry and Elaine are at a piano concert and Jerry makes Elaine completely lose it by putting a Tweety bird Pez dispenser on her lap.
Have you ever been in a serious situation (wedding, funeral, job interview) where you [...]
redo april 13
I sent in my post to mz.com this morning via gmail as I sometimes do and saw that the page was just completely out of whack — some formatting issues need to be worked on — most certainly.

you wanna play? I’ll play with ya. We’ll play hard too…
Ahhh… who can forget “Choose Your Own Adventure” — although I’m not
quite sure I remember reading this particular one.
“Lost” was kind of ‘meh’ last night — a lot happened but nothing
happened at the same time. You dig? Although, I hate when the upcoming
show is completely ruined for you in the previews.
The weather here in DC [...]
eschew obfuscation
I saw that on a bumper sticker this morning. Another sticker on the car said “Subvert the Dominant Paradigm” What an offbeat an interesting person! I’d like a bumper sticker that says “I am expressing my individuality by purchasing this adhesive label”
Last night on NBC USA’s “The Office” episode #3 (Tues 9:30pm NBC) they finally [...]

illinois, i migrated my home PC from windows XP to Linux
(mandrakelinux 10.1) — what was the first thing I did with my new

Saturday afternoon I drove over to a local fleabag roach motel for a little party — Carrie’s first gala of Zap 5 at the Ritz. I was official volunteer photographer for the evening and snapped around 150 pics. (Only one of which [...]
