So, what I’m really looking for is a battery powered picture frame that will make the sound of a toilet flushing when you push a button or pull a lever. Ideally, it would accommodate an A4 sized sheet of paper. Can you believe this thing is for real? Or that I, in actual fact, “earned” […]

Oh lord, did my alarm clock just wake me up from one HELL of a scorched-earth hissyfit. I was dreaming that I had some sort of big final paper to turn in, the fate of my BA hung in the balance, and a string of catastrophes was preventing me printing it out and handing it […]

Last night, Joel and I went to Lawrence with a bunch of his co-workers to ride the River Trails. It’s a rare treat and one I go for every time it’s possible. The river trails are great for a mtb moron like me. They’re not rocky, just swoopy and twisty, which is pretty much my […]

Hi, hi! I’m just lollygagging around tonight and trying a new approach to the abuse of GIF images. Don’t mind me. I’m sure I never do. I have a favorite little animated GIF, a self-drawing rosette that I may end up using more again, if this embedding process looks any good. We shall see how […]

let alone many guns which would necessitate an entire rack.” I have a bit of a makeup problem in the sense that I have many pouches, cases, and other containers devoted to the convenient storage thereof, but relatively little makeup to store in them. I have, at last count, two eyeshadow compacts, three individual eye […]

I let Minnie outside for a little while today. Griswald is banned from the Great Outdoors because he always gets “the call of the wild” and tries to break for broader and greener pastures. Then I have to chase all over the neighborhood trying to recapture him. Also, he is very, very, very stupid and […]

I decided to not do the Dirty Kanza 200 this year. As it turns out, I really didn’t have that much fun the last two times I did it, and for pity’s sake, riding 200 miles alone on the dusty dirt roads of the Ass-Back of Kansas is optional. So, I’ve decided that I’m going […]

I’ve been slightly obsessed with pigeons today and spent more time than I should admit reading Wikipedia entries about Feral Pigeons, (basically no-longer-domesticated Rock Doves), Wood Pigeons, which have a really cute voice, and the master list of types of doves and pigeons. I reckon a couple of events brought on my miniature fascination with […]

I’ve been fooling around with mixing my own perfume lately – I guess it’s more like cologne or something. Anyway, I procured three tiny atomizer bottles and some cheap vodka. Using various essential oils and extracts already in my possession, I’ve been mixing up my own blends of olfactory wizardry. So far I’ve done one […]

I cleaned a bunch of excess keys off my keychain and thought it looked a little sparse. I haven’t had much in the way of baubles or bobbles on there in ages, so I decided to fix that: There is a house key, key to Joel’s workshop, key to my U-lock, and a key to […]
