shawnp0wers That’s how long it took for my “add a new post” page to load. I have no idea why my wordpress install is so absurdly slow. Perhaps it’s GoDaddy. Perhaps it’s DNS. Perhaps it’s WordPress. Perhaps it’s Mogwai that were fed after midnight. The load time is so frustrating, I find myself using Twitter more often than blogging. Anyway, I’ll … Read more
I’m being completely honest — I still find it a bit surreal people actually want to know my schedule at Penguicon this year. I’ve gotten several emails, tweets, and facebook something-or-others asking for it. It makes me feel a bit like the nerd that gets asked to the prom as a prank. If anyone throws eggs at me, I’ll be … Read more
You may remember last year, my church youth group participated in the 30 Hour Famine to raise money for those in need. We’re doing it again this year, and our oldest girl, Amanda, is now old enough to be in youth group. I told her she could ask the people that read my blog if they’d like to donate, but … Read more

At first glance, insomnia really does seem cool. No, I’m serious. I don’t know about you, but I’m often annoyed that I need to spend a third of my life pointlessly sleeping. I’ve got things to do man. Unfortunately insomnia really isn’t as cool as just “never getting tired.” See, here it is almost midnight and I’m so absurdly tired … Read more
There are some things I do that are almost too absurd to share with the public. Thankfully, this isn’t one of them. Plus, I “shared” with the public more than I ever intended to anyway… This morning, due to insomnia problems, I was getting ready for work after my family had already left for school. As I was going through … Read more
Wow. I have not been able to sleep lately. I think I get like 2 hours a night, and it’s really starting to catch up with me. I feel like death. Apart from doctor prescribed drugs, anyone have any good tips on curing insomnia? I’m all ears…
I’m not a wine pro by any stretch of the imagination, but this wine was something I just had to review. It’s weird. The back of the bottle explains the name, “Layer Cake” by saying good wine should be like a layer cake. There should be a layer of chocolate, a layer of fruit, and a layer of spices. I … Read more
Don’t get me wrong, I think Joe Cocker is an amazing artist. I really do. But kids, this is a prime example of why drugs are bad, mmmkay?
