  • My dumb cat.

    We got Amy one of these Treat Ball things. Basically it’s a plastic ball that you fill up with cat food and it’s got a little hole so that when she rolls it around, a few bits of food fall out. It’s supposed to be fun for them. The only problem is that she just…

  • Friday Five

    Friday Five: 1. If you owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve?I’d probably run something like a steakhouse, where you’d get lots of really good homestyle food. I’m thinking burgers, sandwiches, mac-and-cheese, big slabs of meat, the whole works. Basically the kind of stuff I like to eat. The Snook would concoct…

  • The Cult of Diet Coke

    The Cult of Diet Coke. I myself am a hopeless addict. I actually paid $2.70 for a friggin’ 600mL bottle the other day because I needed the fix and that damn price-gouging gas station was the only supplier in the area. It infuriates me, especially since Coles always has the two-liter bottles on sale for,…

  • Ick.

    Damn, you know what’s difficult? Wiping a cat’s ass. I’m starting to see the wisdom of owning a pet before you reproduce. You need to get acclimatized to all the disgusting stuff that goes along with caring for another lifeform.

  • Blog survey results

    Blog Survey: Expectations of Privacy and Accountability. I wondered why I hadn’t heard about this until I saw the dates and realized I was up at Camp Creative around then. Anyway, nothing too startling in those results. I was surprised to see the male-female ratio though. Somehow I thought there were more girls doing this…

  • Holy crap!

    Holy crap! My Dad just e-mailed to let me know that someone is currently shooting a movie in Goshen, Indiana. He said he heard it stars Liv Tyler, and his wife Cindy ran into “that guy from ConAir” at a coffee shop. A little research by me… and Boom! Steve Buscemi is filming a movie…

  • Toys of the 80’s

    Toys of the 80’s. That’s a huge time suck if ever I saw one. I spent half the day reminiscing about Popples and Puffalumps and Care Bears.

  • Nike Women’s Classic

    The date for this year’s Nike Women’s Classic has been posted: June 20th. That’s just over thirteen weeks away. As I’ve run the 5K the past two years, I’m wondering if I should stick with that and try to improve my pace or challenge myself to complete the 10K. What do you guys think? Any…
