Twitzin’ in the Wind on 2009-03-31

If I had to choose the worst part of my day is, I’d have to say it’s the choosing clothes part. So mundane it hurts. #
It’s just about time for work, peeps. Get on it. Is this close to “Peanut Butter Jelly Time?” Or is that closer to noon? #
Yeah, I’m pretty sure [...]

You Can Read It On The Internet!

I wrote a novel a while ago called Five Satellites.  It’s about a punk rock band on tour, and follows their pursuits.  There’s sex, drugs, and lots of rock in it–I can pretty much guarantee that you’re not going to read any fiction about punk rock that’s anything like this book.
I think it’d be awesome [...]

Top 5 Ridiculous Baseball Cards

Up until maybe 7th grade, I was totally obsessed with baseball.  I collected cards and stuff, looked at the stats, determined who was good, who I liked, and so on.  Most of the cards I had were contemporary-ish, mid-to-late 80’s cards with all the usual players who are now getting into the Hall of Fame–Ripken, [...]

EMT’s were pulling a stretcher into the old folks’ home on my run today. Weird. #

About to have a blogtastic [...]

The Big Fat Fatty Fatass Challenge, Episode 3

I didn’t bother to weigh myself this week because I totally ate like an asshole.  It would have just been depressing.
On the upside, though, I did manage to get a steady amount of exercise in this past week, and I actually feel pretty good, as general health goes.  So, there’s that, but I’ve got a [...]

ACTAACBLWWKM, Monday, March 30, 2009

For those who haven’t been around too long, ACTAACBLWWKM stands for Audio Clips That Aren’t Audio Clips Because Le Wif Would Kill Me.  This week’s not-clip is a doozy.
What It Sounds Like When Gallagher is Alone in a Room With a Watermelon.
Enjoy.

I’m on the night shift again. I think there’s a Bob Seger song in there somewhere, but I don’t remember what it might be. #
Talkin’ ’bout professional photos. It’s a world I’ve never thought much about, or honestly thought much of. Not terribly exciting. #
Okay, y’all. Six days until beard submission deadline. [...]

Homebrewing–what goes into it?
The first 15 minutes of Toxic Avenger do nothing to make me want to watch the rest of the film.

What ever happened to Will Clark?  He used to be my favorite baseball player.
Oscar Gamble had a wild grill.
Himan Brown.  I need to learn more about him.  He had a pretty crazy voice.

thinks that Cincinnati Bell might be throttling its RoadRunner subscribers’ internet accounts for bandwidth use. Anyone know about this? #
I’m slow-moving today. Couple beer reviews coming later today, though, so there’s that. #
My face is killing me. Probably other people, too. #
One more week ’til Beard Deathmatch submission deadline; get’ em in, peeps. [...]

Dirty Pipes or White Ale?

Can you take a guess?  Here’s a hint: our house came with a whole-house filtration system.  When the filter gets super-gummed up, though, our water can get to look like this in the right conditions.
So, if you  guessed “White Ale,” you win the prize: the rest of this blog post.  The pictured beer is [...]
