So I’m fighting off the advances of a summertime cold, picked up from my son. It’s that tickly sore throat, run-down feeling and if it doesn’t get nipped in the bud right away, then it’ll turn full-fledged, and we don’t want that. Hence, I’ve been dosing up on echinacea, Airborne, vitamin C, and Ricola. And… Continue reading Don’t you hate that under the weather feeling?

How I spent…
Yeah, it’s one of those “How I spent” posts, inspired by Shannon’s this time. Only I’ll confine mine to my super-busy holiday weekend. Saturday, my wife and daughter went to Sisters with my mother for the rock and gem show. They do this every year, it’s tradition. While they were gone, my son and I… Continue reading How I spent…
YouTube goodness
I’ve been exploring YouTube a bit more lately and just thought I’d point to some of the videos I’ve found that amuse me… Crazy Cat Pinky – the cat in this video wigs out and I actually laughed out loud. This Place Sucks – Superfriends – the classic Superfriends/Office Space mashup. Deadwood Swearing – nothing… Continue reading YouTube goodness
Not much
No, I haven’t posted much on any of my sites this week. My aunt died on Monday, and I just haven’t felt like writing much. There’s really not any more to say; the funeral is on Saturday. In the meantime, I hope everyone’s having a good week, what with the first day of summer and… Continue reading Not much
Wonka
Okay, tell me this guy doesn’t look totally cool: This guy was with the fire dancer troup that performed Saturday night at the Bite of Bend. We decided he looked like Willy Wonka, though now I’m also thinking the Mad Hatter. Watching him, I also think he had a Johnny Depp thing going on. Anyway,… Continue reading Wonka
What the hell was that?
When I started writing this post, the video in question actually existed… but now the link they had goes to the Visitor and Convention Bureau site… hmmmmmm. The title of this post might as well be “How not to do viral marketing.” It concerns a new animated ad campaign, detailed in excruciating detail in this… Continue reading What the hell was that?
An angry bunch
Go and check out today’s Pearls Before Swine comic strip. It’s the good stuff.
Deadwood!
Deadwood is back (as of last Sunday)! I loves me my Deadwood! I just had to point that out. That, and say, it’s about time somebody beat Farnum to a bloody pulp…
X-Men: The Last Stand
I saw the third X-Men movie on Saturday, and while I don’t think it’s as good as the previous two movies, I rather liked it. It won’t classify as a great movie, but it was certainly enjoyable. So what follows is my review… although it’s less of a “review” than just a general geeking-out about… Continue reading X-Men: The Last Stand
So can you hear the ringtone?
So can you hear this ringtone? It’s supposed to be too high-pitched in frequency for the ears of people over 30 to hear… but I can hear it. It’s via Shannon, who seems to be alternating between thinking she’s too old to hear it, or she’s just been exposed to too much loud music over… Continue reading So can you hear the ringtone?
