I was just plain stoked that the first letter of my first name was the first letter of so many awesome words. Mud. Mess. Moose. Monster. Machine. And speaking of machines, who didn’t love the Rube Goldberg-esque ice-cream-sundae-machine? [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67khDZ0P7Xo] And speaking […]

I rode the Redline to work today to make sure that all is in good order for the Dirty Kanza, which is only days away at this point. All, indeed, is. That bike is such a pleasure and a joy to ride in any of its many guises. For the upcoming weekend, it’s done up […]

Do not play in, on, or around

Who says I’m playing? Trash-pickin’ is serious business you guys! Anyway, yesterday we found a dumpster that was a BONANZA of clothing…good stuff too, some of it with the tags still on it! We actually ended up leaving plenty for the next scavengers! Melissa nabbed a pair of lime green pants and a shirt that […]

Posted in Cats, Distractions, Family, Utter Silliness on May 7th, 2009
This entry is mainly for my sister’s amusement, though I am sure other folks will enjoy the adventures of Maru, a Scottish Fold cat from Japan. You can watch videos of Maru in bouncey, pouncey action, too. Maru is a round-faced, round-eyed, stocky mostly-grey-tabby cat who reminds me of Boda, my sister’s glorious oaf of […]

I just finished reading the last of Terry Moore’s Strangers In Paradise series and I am going to be recommending it to everyone I can, because it was just that good. I’m going to link the Wikipedia synopsis of the series which gives you an idea of what the stories are about, though it completely […]

Yesterday was one of those action-packed non-adventure days. It was my day off, so of course I was twice as busy as if I were working, right? I woke up in the dead of the night realizing that it was already May, it’s been raining like The Deluge, and I haven’t been over to the […]
Name your fictitious punk-rock band
Posted in Art Projects & Making Things, dumb things I have done on May 2nd, 2009
Some friends of mine in grad school invented a fictitious Scandinavian death-metal band called Smorgasbord because they were bored and silly. Is there any better reason to invent a fictitious band than boredom and silliness? Today on the ride, Christi, Melissa, Randall, and I got on the topic of fictitious bands and invented one for […]
