That’s “V” for you Romans. This stroll took place in Roswell around the Old Roswell Mill area. I think everyone had a good time, though there may have been a poison ivy victim. The place was crawling with various identifiable types of poison ivy. I have (so far) managed to avoid all contact with it,… Continue reading Atlanta Photo Stroll 5

The Return of the Season
It’s been relatively cold and rainy since my return from Florida. Today was the first day that we’ve received a good dose of sunshine and heat. It felt like Georgia in June. Our Great Pyrenees, Yang, nearly melted. I don’t know what she’s going to do in August. Tomorrow we’re heading out to Roswell in… Continue reading The Return of the Season
Kingdom of Heaven
The Kingdom of Heaven was described as a place where Muslims and Christians lived side-by-side as friends and all were allowed to worship as they wish. This dream was never seen, though the closest ever realized was a time prior to the Crusades when the Jewish and Muslim worshiped together in Jerusalem. The movie in… Continue reading Kingdom of Heaven
Winter Storm 2005
[subtle sarcasm ahead] We’ve made it through the Winter Storm 2005 event, as the news likes to call it. The torrential downpour of ice and slush coated everything with a half inch of glassy ice. Quite pretty, though worthless to drive on. My vehicle is front-wheel drive, so it’s rendered useless in the great Georgian… Continue reading Winter Storm 2005
Carcinogenic Tortellini
I reached the bottom of my leftover Tortellini Gabrielle only to find a couple of small holes in the Styrofoam container in which I microwaved the pasta. I’m guessing that by ignoring the warnings of heating Styrofoam in the microwave, the plate melted a bit and was absorbed into my food. So my question now… Continue reading Carcinogenic Tortellini
Don’t Panic!
Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is coming to theater’s in live-action glory soon! You may have seen the original movie or read the book (wasn’t there a cartoon also?), but a new movie just seems apt after the abysmal 1982 rendition. Since Adams’ untimely death in 2001, proper reverance has yet to be… Continue reading Don’t Panic!
Darwin’s Cheaters
Cheating in Halo 2 is now prolific on the XBOX Live service. I’ve been witness to it myself, but have not participated. In general, it doesn’t bother me as much as many of my compadres, but I am annoyed by the after-effects it has. The most prime example of exploit used is the “modem standbye”… Continue reading Darwin’s Cheaters
Halo 2: First Look (Personally)
Last night we played a while at the office a good many rounds of Halo 2. We were hoping for more people, but the six we had was a good number to readjust to the new game. I bought a new, Logitech wireless controller for the festivities. It worked out very well all evening with… Continue reading Halo 2: First Look (Personally)
The Epitome of Disgusting Males
We traveled out to my mom’s place, Dancing Goat’s Farm, for the day. There we visited with her and my grandmother and her sister. They’re “refugees of Hurricane Ivan” as Gwen (my grand aunt) put it. At any rate, my mom enlightened us to the behavior of a male goat with a field of female… Continue reading The Epitome of Disgusting Males
Fever
Fever is a funny thing. Your body induces fever to fight off a variety of infections or illnesses. Apparently, a region in your brain, the hypothalamus, handles the regulation of your body temperature, but particular kinds of illness will set your hypothalamus at a higher level. This is from molecules in your blood called pyrogens.… Continue reading Fever
