Taming the Panther Blues Going on day four here of freezing drizzle and a sky that refuses to change its hex value (#666). If it were not for clocks, you wouldn’t be able to tell if it was 8AM, noon, or 5PM. Yuck. I spent all of yesterday installing Panther. Man, if the purpose of …
PunxforDean Of all the ‘Blank’ for Dean sites and blogs out there now, this one is rising to the top as a personal favorite. The navigation buttons all rollover to studded bracelet strike-troughs. How punk is that? They even have posters for Goths for Dean, Rockabilies for Dean, and Skaters for Dean. Which raises the …
Shake it Like a Polaroid. . .Picture Yes. Yes. Ladies and Gentry, last night my life got served a double fudge banana split sunday with more Bridgeman wafer cookies than I could possibly manage to chew. You see, the Rachel’s (a review) came to town and shook the rubble and plaster off the Theater De …
Monday PSA While some box it up into a funny little game, others like Brenda Jenkins show us that real issues like police brutality aren’t something to be trivialized, especially when it’s happening to her son. “Bush is over there invading another country and I want to know who’s going to invade the U.S. and …

King Charlie and my Lawn-Salad I’ve been putting off a horribly violent battle with several squadrons of Creeping Charlie that have in recent weeks gained a military focus on overcoming my lawn with all the Shock and Awe that its scalloped green leaves and running webs of ground roots can afford. Last week, I noticed …
Lumpy the Wookiee Betchya didn’t know Chewbacca had a kid, huh? Yup, that’s him. His name is Lumpy. Chewbacca also has a loving wife, ‘Malla’, who can send him powerful thought waves anywhere in the Galaxie. These thought waves can even penetrate the walls of the Millennium Falcon and warn Chewie when something isn’t right …
Corgan Curses Cubbies My heart goes out to all Cubs fans everywhere. Everyone cried. Personally, I blame Billy Corgan’s rendition of “Take Me Out to The Ballgame” for those last unproductive innings. For me this baseball post-season has an eerily similar vibe to the last go round of electoral politics – I can’t seem to …
