I suppose the measure of how good a New Year’s party is would be the hangover you have the next day… if so, then the party we had last night was a pretty good one. It wasn’t wild or crazy or anything like that, we just had friends over (a bunch of them brought their… Continue reading Auld lang syne

Fantasy wish list
I’m nerdy, no two ways about it: while thinking about the kind of things I would want for Christmas this year, I got to wondering about fictional gadgets and technology that I wouldn’t at all mind having. So, as a perfectly goofy/nerdy/idle/self-amusing blog post, I put together a wish list of sci-fi/fantasy gadgets I’d like… Continue reading Fantasy wish list
Hack Bend holiday shopping guide
A little cross-pollination: over on Hack Bend I’m going to be posting a Holiday Shopping Guide, and I want to make it collaborative as well as listing my own opinions on where to shop for the holidays. So if you live in Central Oregon and have any recommendations or want a piece of the action,… Continue reading Hack Bend holiday shopping guide
These Santas are so wrong
SouthFlorida.com is running a photo gallery of kids scared of Santa Claus, which is gut-busting funny. (Really! I laughed out loud at a lot of these.) But some of these Santas are so messed up that I had to re-run them here. (But go check out the rest.) Like this one… Or this one: More…… Continue reading These Santas are so wrong
What’s shakin’?
Yes, I’m aware I haven’t posted much here on chuggnutt.com lately. I’ve been focusing most of my writing energy on The Brew Site and Hack Bend recently, since I keep thinking of topical things for those blogs and I really don’t want to become a caricature of myself with “Lost” rants. Aside from that, here’s… Continue reading What’s shakin’?
Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope everyone’s Thanksgiving is a good one. We’re baking pumpkin pies today (made with a gingerbread graham cracker crust) and heading out to my folks’ house for dinner and family. Enjoy the long weekend!
Best. Party. EVAR!!!!!11!1
C’mon, with a title like that, how could it not be? “It” being the Halloween party we went to last night. Costumes, booze, food, and friends. And a giant inflatable Scooby Doo. (Yes, it was this same Scooby.)Â Although this year, perhaps the title of this post should be, “Oh my God, they killed Scooby!… Continue reading Best. Party. EVAR!!!!!11!1
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…
Offline for Memorial Day
Just a quick note to let everyone know that I’ll be offline for the Memorial Day weekend—through Tuesday, actually. Hopefully everyone has a safe and fun holiday weekend!
April 1 (Fools, and not)
So. April 1st. Any April Fool’s Day stories to pass on? I have one. My wife calls this morning as they’re supposed to be leaving San Diego, and says they’re not leaving because my daughter has a 103 degree fever. I freak out a little bit. April Fool’s! That’s all I got, actually. I forgot… Continue reading April 1 (Fools, and not)
