It’s November 30. Time for a little introspection. At the beginning of the month, I had set out to write my very own novel. As it turns out, that was a pretty lofty goal. I made it through the first few days okay, but largely at the expense of other things I was supposed to [...]

First things first. I somehow managed to get fuzz in my eye today. It could have been from my coworker’s jacket with fuzzy contours, or it could have been from my new pair of gloves I wore practically all day because of the ice sculptures that had taken the place of my hands. Whatever the [...]

I just finished watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail.* Again. No matter how many times I watch that movie, I still find it funny. Actually, I’ve found that the more familiarity I have with it, the funnier it gets. Because there’s an awful lot of stuff that goes on, mostly in terms of dialogue, [...]

New Mexico, though generally known as the Land of Enchantment, has another less well-known title: the Land of Mañana. This particular saying comes from our wonderfully laid back culture. In other words, sometimes things are really, really slow out here.
Generally, I’m a big fan of the laid back sensibilities. Shoot, I’d better be, considering I’m [...]

I’ve been freezing all day long. And in theory, it hasn’t been that cold today. Seriously. I feel lucky that I didn’t get frostbite. No gangrene to speak of, either. And that seems like the biggest stroke of luck, because damn. I may as well have been in the Arctic.
Oh sure, the meteorologists probably said [...]

After looking at my previous blog entry, it came to my attention that it made very little sense. Which is kind of awesome, in its own right. But that’s the quality writing you get when you’re only half paying attention to what you’re typing, while the rest of your attention is focused on the “Thanksgiving [...]

Drag racing is the shit. Because on Saturday night, there’s nothing better to do than just that. Goodbye, fun with friends, trips downtown, or just hanging out at home relaxing. Hello, asphalt racing ground with 35-40 mile per hour speed limits!
The winner of tonight’s questionably legit drag race: a souped-up silver Ford Mustang. Because how [...]

Today was the day after Thanksgiving. In retail land, this day is known as Black Friday. For those who seek to spread a message of peace and encourage less consumption on all counts, today is Buy Nothing Day. For me, today was simply the day after Thanksgiving.
The last few weeks, we’ve had reasonably mild weather. [...]

My Thanksgiving was much better than my night-before-Thanksgiving fun. Robert and I were invited to a friend’s house for Thanksgiving today, and we happily attended. It was fantastic: excellent food, great company, good wine, good conversation, and fun games. We started eating around 2:45 or so (that’s a guess, I wasn’t paying attention to the [...]

It was bowling night with the brothers tonight. A night of bad jokes, fake laughter, and homophobia. I had some fun, despite this, but I’ve had my fill for the week (actually, for a long time to come) and am seriously dreading the prospect of actually going to Thanksgiving dinner at the folks’ tomorrow. I [...]
