1. I got the new camera I’d been saving up for. I’m now the owner of a Canon Powershot G9. I’ve gone out and done some test shots to get used to it, but since my computer is in the shop right now, I can’t post ‘em yet. Joel’s computer doesn’t [...]

There was this one Invader Zim episode where Zim turns Dib into bologna because Dib threw bologna at Zim. (click this link to view the episode in another browser) When Bologna comes in contact with Zim’s skin, it fuses to him, causing him immense pain and wailing. I know that makes no earthly sense, but there [...]

I had a 3-day weekend this past weekend due to Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Day. A 3-day weekend is always welcome - in fact, I wish they all were, considering as how I generally spend all of Saturday on the run, then Sunday doing basically jack. That Monday in a typical 3-day [...]

1. Confession time! (oh, this is going to be fun!) I sometimes confuse or conflate various celebrities or famous people, because I don’t follow their doings closely and maybe they look kind of alike, or have similar names.

My cat has a coat of arms.
Words cannot describe how much this amuses me. The Ancient Arms of Griswald!
Frankly, if I were designing a coat of arms for Griswald, a large, plumy tail would have to feature into it somewhere.
People frequently ask me if Griswald was named after the family featured in the National Lampoon [...]

Because then my recycling bin stinks of cat-piss and I have to hose it out before I can bring it inside, and frankly, I’m not enthusiastic about using a garden hose in the middle of December. Go figure.
And then, because un-neutered cats’ piss is so pungent and adhesive, the bin is still smelly and [...]

What you see here is the main reason people keep housepets. Because pets are goofy and often amusing.
