The most horrible horrors strike when you least expect them, and then strike again and again until you succumb to their sheer eeevilosity.  They hit you when you’re not looking, and then…

You know what’s a lot easier than writing things?  Having other people write them.  Typically I’d be ashamed - yes, I can feel shame, technically - to use someone else’s…

Not long ago I was sitting alone in a dark room on an uncomfortable chair, as I am wont to do, wondering what might make me an interesting person, were I ever to become one.  I could do something…

Let’s start with a seasonal note: it’s the sixth night of Channukah tonight and I have yet to make a formal acknowledgment of the festival.  We celebrated last Saturday with an extended…

Blast you, modern life!  With your mandatory tivo watching and your netflix’d multiseries (I finished BSG btw so it’s okay to tell me about “that thing you heard about Capricans")…

I’m sitting here wondering what to put up here today.  I’ve got the red fedora thing, but there’s also all this random update stuff and a few chucklenuggets that feel a bit more…

It is now well past midnight’s threshold on the day of my vaunted return to reality, and I am staring wide awake down both barrels of my future.  In my dream last night I imagined myself…

It has been a longish time since I last posted.  I wanted to say something last week but with the rush of returning to work on a crutch and in a big velcro boot after a month of full-bore relaxation,…
