Here’s the deal: My wife and I are not the most organized parents in the world. Usually, at least 2 days a week, at least one child will go to school missing their lunchbox. One of us must then run it to the school, and drop it off in the appropriate office before our children go without food. And bedtimes? … Read more
You know that guy that can fix mechanical things? The car breaks down, and he grabs his toolbox and reconoiters your carburetor on the side of the road? Yeah, well I’m not that guy. We have lots of snow. The storm London just got is what we refer to “A Tuesday” around here. That’s not to make light of the … Read more
About a week and a half ago, I quit consuming caffeine. It was about as much fun as you’d imagine, and only the past 3 or 4 days have been headache free. I actually think my plan to taper off was dumb, and I should have quit cold turkey. I ended up with a headache for over a week rather … Read more
So yesterday I posted about how I find daily posting to be the proper speed for me. And the next day I don’t post anything. I’d like to claim I did that on purpose, but in fact it was just legitimate irony. Oh well, such is life. 🙂
We’re past the point where “blogging” is new and cool, so everyone tries it. Chances are you’ve tried blogging. It’s fairly likely that you are a blogger yourself. If so you’ve probably had the days, just like any other writer, that you sit and stare at the screen with nothing to say. One of the tricks to being a steady … Read more
Chances are, you use toilet paper. We may have different techniques when it comes to the use of it (and no, I don’t want to discuss technique, eiw) but we’re all probably familiar with the usage and purchasing of the product. I’m a Mega Roll man. Don’t get me wrong, I always read the sheet count on the claims of … Read more
The older I get, the more sensitive I am to sleep deprivation. It wasn’t very many years ago that “pulling all nighters” was a common occurrence at work. Now, if I did have to work all night, I’d likely have to take a day or two off to recoup. It’s quite frustrating. Take this evening for instance. Last night, I … Read more
Look, sometimes things are fun and funny for no reason apart from absurdity. Things like whoopie cushions, LOLCats, and peeing in the snow. Today, we’ll say to celebrate Inauguration Day, I give you permission to be completely silly. The best way to start is with your new name provided Professor Poopypants from Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor … Read more
Remember the waterbeds that used to have a big wooden frame, and a rubber bladder on the inside? The kind that was quite impossible to “make” because it constantly moved, which wrinkled the sheets? The kind that was either so hot it made you sweat, or so cold you (sometimes literally) got hypothermia? Does anyone still use those things? I … Read more
Look, you have a new 16×9 high definition television. I get it. So do I. There is something in us that WANTS to have every single, beautiful pixel filled with entertainment awesomeness. But here’s the deal — your 4×3 footage was never meant to be displayed like that. It’s just wrong. Picard did not have a head that fat. I’ve … Read more
