Nearly There

Phil | September 30, 2007

One thing about being sick is that you wind up spending an awful lot of time at home. While I initially spent much of my time laying about reading and watching movies, I also get rather antsy. So, as is probably par for the course, I found myself doing all sorts of things around the [...]

Germs are clearly out to get me.

Phil | September 28, 2007

It’s Sukkot, and while I should be celebrating the plentiful bounty of this green and brown planet, I’m instead sitting at home fighting off a bad allergy attack head cold something-or-other. As a matter of fact, I was earlier cursing the bounty of the earth, because I had harbored some suspicions that it was some [...]

Without a Hitch

Phil | September 26, 2007

I had an interesting little pedestrian encounter yesterday afternoon. After leaving the bank, I turned onto a neighborhood street before turning onto a major road. As I pulled up to the stop sign, I noticed a pedestrian who seemed to be crossing the street. Nothing out of the ordinary. So being the courteous driver I [...]

Rebounding

Phil | September 25, 2007

Being a New Mexican, dealing with sickness is somewhat cultural. For instance, due to my less than perfect health yesterday, I knew I needed to do something to help me feel better. While talking to a friend of mine on the phone, she reminded me that I should probably stock up on vitamin C. In [...]

Sick Day

Phil | September 24, 2007

I spent the day home from work today. Which was weird for me, to say the least. Growing up, I never missed a day of school, unless it was a Jewish holiday. I could have spent half the night awake praying to the toilet gods (because when you’re sick, monotheism goes out the window), but [...]

Going Public

Phil | September 23, 2007

You may have found yourself wondering where on earth Phil’s been lately, and how come I’ve not been blogging terribly much. And, perhaps, why I sometimes write in the third person. Well, I have some answers for you (but not for that last question).
For some time (several months, at least), I’ve been contemplating starting an [...]

Hell’s Residence guest blog entry on Patrick’s page

Phil | September 23, 2007

Recently, in a flurry of lost 360 emails, I was pleasantly surprised to find one from Patrick. He informed me that I was the 666th commentor on his blog. How cool is that? Well it gets cooler, because he asked if I would mind writing a guest blog entry for him, dedicated to the subject [...]

What do you mean, “All Things”?

Phil | September 22, 2007

If you’re reading this, that means you’ve stumbled upon All Things Phil. This site, as you can no doubt see, is a blog, and is the corner of the internet belonging to yours truly. After nearly two years of blogging community-style, I’ve flown the coop and started my very own, independent blog. So where does [...]

Finite literapotter

Phil | September 16, 2007

I’m done. Finished. Caput. Finite literapotter.
As of last night, I officially finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. An interesting feat in and of itself, considering the book was released here in the US nearly two months ago.
When it comes to Harry Potter, I got in the habit, starting with the fourth book, of [...]

If I hate your dog, there’s a good chance I don’t like you much, either.

Phil | September 9, 2007

I love dogs. I love how they bark. I love how they wag their tails. I love that they’re friendly. I love that they love attention. And, until I moved into my apartment almost a year ago, I loved just about every dog I met. Sadly, I now have to change that first statement above [...]
