The Greatest Care Package EVER.Friday was randomly super-duper busy at work and I was just having a complete crapper of an afternoon. All my customers were rude and stupid and irritating. I was hanging on to the last shred of patience when Losh walked by and announced that I had a package. “Another package for…

Republicans for Voldemort. Heh.

This is one of the looniest analyses of Donnie Darko I’ve read. The author somehow argues that really the whole thing is about Donnie’s repressed sexual urges towards his sister. Say what?

Jesus. The Snook and I just spent two hours watching Rat Race on television, and I can say without a doubt that it’s one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen in my life. Please don’t think we’re idiots; we realized this about five minutes in. We went from “Hey, I’ve heard of this, and…

The Red Sox win the pennant! Oh, man! What a fantastic series. I’m not even a huge Sox fan – any team that employed Roger Clemens will be forever tainted in my books – but you gotta love an underdog, especially one that beats the odious Yankees. And good grief, when did Boston last win…

Sudden realization: We’re getting married one month from today. That’s right, folks. November 20th has been chosen. We don’t have a definite time yet, but we’re aiming for about 6 p.m. Vegas time. That should offer most of our family the chance to watch it. (It’ll be Saturday evening in the Midwest, Friday morning in…
