Smoking Whedon Fonda Science Fiction

I just exchanged a few books I don't need for Serenity and Firefly,
which, of course, I do need.
Since Borders was also having a buy 3 DVDs get one free sale, I also
picked up the second X men movie and…..
BARBARELLA!!!!!!!!
Fear me.

Eyes Wide Shut

File under: philadelphia, mindfulness, parenthood, writing
I apologize for the radio silence on the faith fronts. You’d think, during this season of liturgical beauty and wonder, and given my earlier wish at the Abbey for a simpler Christmas, that I’d have much reflection to share on this year’s season, awake to the real spirit of it [...]

the gift…

As some of you will recall, I plowed through Buffy seasons 3 and 4 in
the span of three days while recovering from gallbladder surgery back
in April.
I just finished season 5. (Also watched much Angel in the interim and
a bit of Firefly.) And what I really, really, really want to know is
why the key was so [...]

home again

Been home since about 5, and it's been that kind of a day, wherein..
as I explained to one of DFH's friends on the phone, it wasn't so
much traffic as the fact that the journey had a few blobs along the
way, of the sort that look tiny and inconspicuous until you drop a
paper towel on top [...]

Good night….

…..on so many levels.
Philadelphia, and my friends here—
I love you.
And to that end, Rob Brezsny gives me this horoscope:
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I have selected a quote by Irish playwright
Brendan Behan to serve as your motto in 2006. I suggest that you write
it out on a piece of red paper and place it in a [...]

Kerthud

I keep stepping on Corgis. Gizmo, in particular, loves curling up at my feet, and I often am not aware that he's done so until I step on a little Corgi foot.
Also, snoring Newfoundlands are funny. Especially when they wake up with a start.

Wow teh driving

1. The car has now gone through an entire tank of gas with no lights coming on and no odd behavior, although I'm like an abused puppy in that when I ran over a plastic bottle, I had to get out of the car and check to make sure there was no damage, and even [...]

Phone blah

Well, the first casualty of the holiday is my cellphone, which somehow
got knocked into the kitchen sink.
I'm hoping that after it dries back out tomorrow, I'll be able to
access the phone book. But I may send out a siren in the morning if
I'm missing your phone number, so if you're expecting to hear from me
in [...]

Spam!

Perusing my spam inbox on gmail, I was amused to find the sponsored
link for the page:
“French Fry Spam Recipe: Bake 30-40 minutes….”

This is all kinds of wrong…

For Christmas, I got a meme.
You are a Maine Coon! You are larger than life, agentle giant. You are independent, but veryaffectionate with your friends and family.
What breed of cat are you? brought to you by Quizilla
Too funny. What is it about owners taking after their pets?

Bless

…so the sky's gone out.
It's lovely Christmas inside, wet and miserable outside.
A squirrel just went up and pillaged the birdfeeder. No other word for it. Seed flying everywhere, birds tweetering from other branches because they couldn't come near the feeder.
The ducks just sat around clucking and laughing about the whole thing.
Word on the street [...]

phillyxmas

Okay, will be in Philadelphia from Saturday to Wednesday.
Dani, are you free on Monday or Tuesday? I have a large box I need to drop off with Christi and Thom, and they're halfway to your place, so I have no excuse not to come over if you're around.
Jenn/Tim/Drew/Valerini/Kim/Dave/Steph/Antipathy/Lex/+anyone else from the oldschool crew: any [...]

osx question

I'm borrowing a work notebook right now, and it's acting funny. Keeps locking up and sounds like it's having trouble accessing something. I tried running a disk utility, but it won't run the repair program short of booting from the osx disk, which I don't have. is there a way to set up first aid [...]

Whoa…

If you haven't seen this yet, take a look before the conservatives find it.
Should Bush be impeached?

Bleah.

Car=wiring problem related to the MAF I had replaced last month. They're knocking a chunk of the labor costs off for me, but I'm still annoyed.
So help me if another of those idiot lights goes off this century….
