So it’s been one week. Last Saturday afternoon I suddenly decided, and announced on Twitter, that I was embarking upon a fast on news and opinion. By that I meant I wouldn’t voluntarily seek out news or opinions on current events or (especially) politics, online or in any other medium. As I said at the time, I [...] That’s not code or a euphemism or anything. Sorry. I just hate puzzles. Screw you, Sudoku, and the horse you rode in on. Why that should be I’ve no damned idea. In general I really love figuring things out. But as for puzzles per se, I suppose my attitude is, Oh, fucking get on with it. If [...] I’m sorry, I just can’t get over those damn talking ants. RED QUEEN: Go, my children! Raid the Black nest, slay their workers, and bring me their succulent larvae that I may sate my hunger upon them!

Saturday was the famed Sci-Fi [sic] Night at the NM Scorpions hockey game. It was a lovely late afternoon for a drive – welcome to the actual beginning of New Mexico spring. I’d downloaded directions to the Santa Ana Star Center and they seemed clear enough. I got a bit of a shock, however, [...] As every schoolchild knows, an invaluable resource for any homeowner is having a Crazy Tree Guy. A Crazy Tree Guy is … wait. Is it possible there’s some part of that you don’t understand? He’s a crazy guy who works on trees! More to the point, a Crazy Tree Guy is very knowledgeable about trees, [...] So today I dropped a cool $124 and change on supplies at Costco. Eggs, facial tissue, olive oil … that sort of thing. I impulse bought a door mat for $19. Okay, so I’ve needed one for a couple years now. But it’s not a necessity. On the one hand I suppose I [...] |
