Baseball happened today and the game was awesome as we won. Bedard did not live up to my (really really lofty) expectations, but in watching the replays and really looking at his line, he was having a bad game, but only gave up 1 run in 5 innings, and Felix pitches tomorrow, so seriously, this [...]

Man, I love baseball, and especially opening day in all it’s glory. It makes me happy even though in a lot of respects baseball is a really weird game when you think about it. Most sports either consist of single players on opposition (Golf/Tennis/Bowling?) or a constant stream of back and forth action (Soccer/Football/Hockey/Basketball/) but [...]

So sometime earlier this week, I think I’m probably futzing with a computer or two, Scrapper IMs me and asks me to brainstorm a few ideas. I sort of immediately panic, because I haven’t written anything for a while, and I’m not even sure I know how to brainstorm, or where to begin.
So I put [...]

Winter of 2007/2008 was one of the worst I can remember in a while. I was sick pretty much the whole time with one illness or another, I [...]

Last night GW brought home a bunch of cheese and beer. (Don’t worry a fresh batch of lactose pills arrived recently), which I guess is a benefit to her working in a grocery store where they have like 250 kinds of cheeses, and at least as many kinds of beer.
We had our first debate about [...]

Wow, that was weird. I went to a Barbecue with Gretchen yesterday in West Seattle, and realized that it was the first time in a while that I’m traveled outside of the well-worn paths of my circle of friends and actually hung out with people I didn’t know very well.

Despite being trumped again by Stuff White People Like, I firmly believe that St. Patrick’s Day is a grand tradition, so I think a few folks are stopping by tonight to hang out and drink a few beers and maybe enjoy some boiled potatoes or something of that nature.

Also, I have On Demand now, [...]
