If seeing the world through rose-colored glasses makes everything beautiful, then Loreena McKennitt pumped through head phones is like rose-colored ear muffs. I can’t stop listening to The Dark Night of the Soul. Maybe it’s just me, but when I listen to that song, it’s like I’m getting a deep tissue brain massage. Everything in… Continue reading Rose-Colored Ear Muffs

There’s Someone for Everyone
A certain friend of mine has recently become engaged and I see no mention of the event on his own blog. As such, I hereby request his Geek Card until such wrong-doing can be redeemed.

A friend of mine at work asked me the other day if I had played with G.I. Joe toys when I was a kid. I had, of course, and quite fondly remembered them. Unlike many small boys, I did not indulge in morbid acts of violence against said heroes. No, I had a respect for… Continue reading Childhood Memories Crushed
In Memory of Douglas Adams (1952 – 2001)
Today is Towel Day throughout the Universe. If you know of and love Douglas Adams, you will wear your towel in reverence of his comedic brilliance. Pictures are everywhere, though Flickr is a good start. And here’s mine. More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker)… Continue reading In Memory of Douglas Adams (1952 – 2001)
Nobel Peace, Only Weirder
