I'm turning it off today to take it down to Norman. It's still running just as fast as when I first turned it on. I've been playing mp3s, doing java development, testing new software, deleting old stuff, we… more »
I'm just a sucker with no self-esteem
April 28th, 2004Just a couple of quick quotes from an argument that Rosie and I had earlier tonight, just to make sure that I'm still the sane one:
Her: "You really need to get off this whole 'marriage vow' thing."
Me: "You know that getting the anullment is more impo… more »
Graham Kerr eat your heart out
April 26th, 2004Over the weekend, Heather successfully got me to try a little treasure of Vietnamese cuisine called "Pho" (pronounced like 'foe'). I really liked how it tasted, how filling it was, and how the whole meal cost about five bucks. There is only a tiny thin… more »
Wanna be my toaster?
April 26th, 2004I just want to say a whole hearted thank you to all the great people who shared birthday time with me. between people at work buying me beer at the local bar, high school kids singing "Happy Birthday" to me in a really good restaurant, or the absolutely… more »
Donnatella
April 22nd, 2004Someone on eDebate commented that instituting a draft might actually be the best way to incite resistance to the whole Iraqi occupation and make us bring in the UN faster. This reminds me of the old discussions of whether it was better to have overt or… more »
It's Earth Day!!!

Tornados look like ice cream cones
April 21st, 2004Tornado sirens are going off up here where I live/work. Gary England says it's a mile south, so I'm just going to keep uploading these websites. Hail hurts when it hits you. more »
Mark and Dustin are my heroes
April 21st, 2004Yes, for the first time in school history, Edmond North High School has the state policy debate champions. Good job kids. more »
My tragic flaw
April 15th, 2004Sometimes I wonder why I look at a painting and don't feel transported or contemplative or empassioned or inspired . I listen to poetry and music and know I should be moved to some deeper feeling of love or rage or brilliance or anything, but I don't.… more »
I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.
April 13th, 2004Yes, Mitch Hedberg is hi-larious. He did his stand-up show at UCO last night, and I was lucky enough to attend. Comedy Central says that he is "likened to a younger, hipper Steven Wright" and that is high praise well deserved. I know what someone's g… more »
Oh Bother....
April 9th, 2004Just got off the phone with Rosie, apparently she didn't remember or didn't believe the timetable when I told her that divorce proceedings would occur right after filing taxes. Apparently Pam has told her that she feels uncomfortable with the idea of in… more »
I'm Rick James, bitch
April 8th, 2004I think I need some more t-shirts, not because I'm running out, but because there are so many really good ones coming out. Between the new Chappelle's Show quote that's taking the nation by storm, and the brilliant pirate-based humor of one of the best… more »
Syn....Ack
April 8th, 2004Districts was fun, as it always is. The bake sale was a blast and we raised about $70 in pity money. I was happy to get to judge the last round that decided who went to nationals between two very deserving teams. Eric and Nick debated well, and happen… more »
Look! Up in the sky! It's Super-Productive Man!
April 2nd, 2004I felt super-productive today. I washed my car, baked and wrapped 2 things of brownies, caught up with Geneva, did 2 loads of laundry, paired an old load of socks, tracked down an international credit card thief, wrapped 24 cookies, and still had time t… more »
Wednesday night TV time
April 1st, 2004Tonight I gave another chance to one of my deepest loves: Star Trek. I watched (read "forced myself to sit through") an episode of Enterprise on UPN. It was gawd-awful. The characters felt like they were just walking through their lines, everything sm… more »
