Reunited!

22-Nov-08

I think almost everyone knows of this car and its history, so you can probably imagine how extraordinarily exciting this is. After the incident it’s lived at various mechanics who’ve attempted to crack this problem, with no such luck. A few weeks ago I swung by when the shop was closed and saw what poor [...]

Because I’m a ____

20-Nov-08

I heard this song this morning, and now it’s on my buy list, downloaded it in the meantime, friended the band on myspace and now I must share. Manau – Mais Qui Est La Belette from the album Panique Celtique. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] They are – are you ready for this? [...]

Foul mood

17-Nov-08

Remember when I wrote that in more cases than not, the intent to fraud isn’t there but it appears so because of the overwhelming incompetence? That describes our accountant. Former accountant, I’ve decided. — I wrote a similar post to this before last night. I deleted it but after last night it seems somewhat apropos, [...]

Novelty

14-Nov-08

Denby has taken to eating whatever Nora eats. I don’t know if either of us have really delved into the happy love relationship that Denby and Nora have, so let me briefly explain. We both thoroughly expected that Peja would take to Nora and Denby would be shy and aloof. Turns out the opposite occurred. [...]

A Book Review?

11-Nov-08

I generally don’t review what I’ve read, but I’ll make an exception: last night, I completed Misconceptions by Naomi Wolf. It was my ‘Red Star’ of books – I started it, couldn’t get through, but get trying and in the meantime I broke my cardinal rule and began reading different books in between (eight). Naomi [...]

Two Reviews

07-Nov-08

We were planning to celebrate Obama’s victory with a small gathering. Except, both Lisa and I are sick; Lisa is worse off so she’s in bed. I decided to finish two games. Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy Let me begin by saying that I absolutely loved this game. The story is something like this: [...]

Eulogizing

06-Nov-08

Secrets of the 2008 Campaign This is a seven parter. As of writing, they’ve released three chapters. It’s long – very long, almost 50,000 words when it’s all said and done, and will by Newsweek in print next week. It’s extraordinarily fascinating. Some more on the Palin/McCain dynamic, or lack thereof. Nader’s Legacy – He [...]

Post Mortem

05-Nov-08

I sat there, dumbfounded, at 10pm last night, on the verge of tears really once Ohio was called… OHIO!, it was all over. It was genuinely and truly over for McCain once he lost Ohio. You see, for the last few months I’ve been tracking electoral votes religiously. Several times a day, poring over notes, [...]

Time to Make History

Make sure you vote!

A bunch of little things

03-Nov-08

The projects blog remains dormant but that doesn’t mean we’re not doing anything. Quite the opposite, actually – we’re getting stuff done by neither of us have bothered to write anything about anything. Lisa thinks that she has too many blogs and is kind on strike for all of them; I don’t know how to [...]
