New vs Worldly

Tuesday, January 31st, 2006

I just thought a little too deeply on something and now I have a question. Is it just me, or does the church sometimes seem to use the word “worldly” to be synonymous with “new”? If I see a new haircut that I’ve never seen before, decide I like the looks of it, [...]

POW–Jan 30th, 2006

Monday, January 30th, 2006

Last week:
1) Harddrive upgrade–moved to this Monday.
2) Sleep–Complete.
This week:
1) Install new harddrive. Reinstall programs, copy over files.
2) Catalogue my old comic books in preparation of selling them off. Then I’ll have a little spare cash from the sale and also room in my comic box for my GravyBoy and other newer [...]

Gotta Love My Buds

Saturday, January 28th, 2006

My friend ‘vicodin’ left me this comment:
vicodin Heh. How it goes? Buy it all. ASAP. Last discount in your live (AAAAA!!!!!). Take a rest.
What a guy! In one short comment the shows his humor, his interest in my life, he gives me great purchasing tips as well as the time frame in which [...]

POW Update

Thursday, January 26th, 2006

This week is so-so. On the computer front, my new harddrive arrived on Tuesday but I couldn’t install it because I didn’t have the program disks that “come” with a computer. My computer was purchased Frankensteinian from Eric. I picked the program up last night, but decided to wait until my day [...]

Laundry Gnomes

Someone keeps shrinking my pants and stretching out the waistbands of my underclothes. I can’t say as I really appreciate it.

Everybody Leaves

Tuesday, January 24th, 2006

For the last two weeks Cousin Dave, my friend Mark and I had finally finagled out schedules so that we could hang out together on Monday nights. Last night this all came crashing down rather abruptly.
Mark tells us that he finally was accepted into a government job that he applied for two years ago. [...]

Project of the Week (POW): Jan 23, 2006

Monday, January 23rd, 2006

I guess I unofficially started doing Projects of the Week last week when I started tackling my disorganized garage. That has been mostly taken care of now. I just have to set the curbside recycling out on the first Tuesday of next month. Also, the redemption center was closed last Saturday so [...]

No Time To Post!

Tuesday, January 17th, 2006

I’m too busy getting things done! That may even be somewhat true…
Sunday it was decided, by Krissy, that the kitchen needs to be clean every night before we go to bed. Usually I let the dishes pile up for a few days and do them when I have a strainer load. Not anymore. [...]

Getting Things Done

Thursday, January 12th, 2006

I finally woke up early so that I could a) go to the bank, b) have my car inspected, and c) drop off my old printer and speakers at an electronics recycling drop off. How many of those things do you think I accomplished in the last 50 minutes?
The answer 1 wins.
I had to [...]

Comics are his specialty
He inks in gravy

It Doesn’t Take a Crystal Ball

Saturday, January 7th, 2006

I love it when the national radio stations do a weather forecast “sweep” during their news segments. You end up hearing things like “cold in the Northeast today” when it’s January. Well, duh. Just call me Nostradamus; look at the date on this old post.
Maybe I could apply for a job as [...]

Those Turn Signals…

Thursday, January 5th, 2006

…the ones that are located on the side view mirrors…they bother me. Lights seem to be exploding all over vehicles these days. First there was the third brake light. Seriously, was that necessary? The car already has two brake lights, one on each side of the rear end. That’s in [...]

“Together”

Wednesday, January 4th, 2006

Together
Of the ways you make me happy
There’s one thing I know for sure
The gifts you give are better
When you’re with me sitting here
There is no way of telling
I don’t have the words to say
Just how much it means to me
To be with you every day
When I can be there for you
As the origin of cheer
My [...]

In The Realm of Silly

Monday, January 2nd, 2006

“Ethel, there is something I need to tell you if our relationship is to continue.”
“John? What is it?”
“Darling, every month in the light of the full moon I go through the most hideous transformation.. For that night only I am not myself and I am controlled only by base instincts.”
“Oh, John! Please, [...]
