Do You Believe in Magic?

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Not the rabbit out the hat sort of thing, but the true magic. Connecting with the energies of the Universe and interacting with them. This is the question that I have been faced with lately. I do believe that there is something that we don’t understand. There are connections between people, and between us and [...]


Damn It’s Cold

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

Walked to the train stop tonight after class. It was 1 degree and windy as hell. I felt like my face was going to freeze. Too cold for anything.


Comedy Gold

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

It was 3 o’clock this afternoon and I didn’t have anything worth showing for writing class tonight. I only had a couple of hours to put something together and no idea of what to do. It was then that I reached into my comedy gold bag of tricks. So here is a little trick that [...]


The Beauty Shop

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Went out to the Empty Bottle to catch The Beauty Shop. Still one of my favorite bands. John Hoeffleur’s unique voice always takes me places. Sometimes to glory and sometime to the depths of despair, but where ever the destination, each song is a hell of a ride. It was nice to see Eric Fisher, [...]


Have you ever loved a battery?

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

I had never thought about the prospect of loving a battery, but now that I have my new laptop battery I am smitten. It is giving my laptop over 4-5 hours power. It wasn’t even this good when it was brand new. Now I can get a couple more years out of my favorite laptop.


So Very Sick

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

Don’t know if I caught the flu or if I ate something bad, but I am very sick right now. Hope it is a short one. Trying (and failing) to get some sleep.


Heath Ledger is Dead

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

Heath Ledger is dead tonight. Went to writing class tonight and heard the news from the other writers. It is sad to hear someone has died so young. It is even worse when you think of his 2 year old daughter. I feel for Heath’s family tonight.


MLK day

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

It was Martin Luther King day today. Sometimes I wonder how far race relations have come. I used to think that it was just the older generation that was clinging to old beliefs, but I have met some people from my generation who still haven’t caught on. I feel like things are moving in the [...]


Laptop

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

I have had this 12″ PowerBook for the last few years and I think that it is the best computer that I have ever used. It is getting a little long in the tooth though, and I was hoping to replace it soon. It was my hope that the MacBook Air would be the replacement [...]


Coldest Day of the Year

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

It was so, so, so cold today. I didn’t even want to go out. I got frost bite on my ears when I was a kid, and I can still feel it sometimes when I go out in the cold. Bobby Fischer died a couple of days ago. He was a tremendous chess player. Kind [...]
