Ever dreamed of starting your own biological weapons program but just didn't have the money? Well today's your lucky day. Why waste all your money trying to mess with deadly anthrax? Let's face it, ricin just plain doesn't work, nerve agents are messy, and hard to get out of the furniture, and ebola? It works great, but it's just not aerosol transmittable, and burns itself out before it even has a chance to get down to work. Right now, I'll give you an amazing Christmas special. For not...

Alright, three articles in an hour, much less a day. That's almost like spamming for me. I had a brilliant idea the other day, but I don't know how to follow through with it. I think I've figured out the perfect way to put away Christmas lights. Especially icicle lights. No tangle, no knots, no mess, and less chance of breaking. I'd explain, but.....well, this is the frickin' internet. This is the kind of idea that hits ya like once a decade and you go "damn, I could really make some money...

Another short limerick review, And not of a movie that blew, The movie's just right, I watched in delight, And to C.S. Lewis was true. Meh. Not my best limerick review. Personally I think the one for the Village was. Anyways, "stayed home" sick today, and went to see Narnia. (I really was sick, I'm just lousy at staying home.) Perfection. Amazing really, almost just as I'd imagined it. I usually can't abide a movie made from the book. Not even if it does have hobbits in it. (I cring...

So you walk out to the mailbox, open it up, and voila. Shiny pink letter with overdue third notice written on it. Oh, s--t. What did I forget to pay. Read more? It ends up being a letter allowing you to "avoid penalties" by refinancing your loan with B--t F--k student loan corporation in Wilmington, Delaware. (always wilmington, always delaware) Now what are you trying to gain by that? You start off by trying to give me a heart attack, then lying to make me think this is some kind of a co...

Another brief update, still fixing cars. I fixed mine yesterday, the Mustang is back on the streets, as of yesterday. Of course, I also noticed I had an expired registration and inspection, so it's back in the driveway, as of today. In fact, while it's running like a dream, there is a horrific clangy type noise upon starting or really low idle, that makes me suspect a cracked flywheel (I hope not), a bad torque converter, or maybe if I'm lucky, a starter clutch that's not disengaging all ...

Once again inspired by a nutball driver while I'm out running, here's a thought. Plus I have time while I have to wait for my clothes to dry. Do you drive like a Christian? One of my worst experiences in a church, was visiting a large church after moving, while looking around for a new church home. Big place, overly impersonal, the kind of place you get that people are going to be seen, not to worship. But what really did it for me was when I tried to leave. After church let out, I we...

A lightning speed update of my life. Sang in the Messiah Sunday, (saw psuedosoldier and Joy spotted lifehappens). Practicing like a nut, and it's finally coming together nice. Audition's Thursday at 1400 at the 1st Cav band hall. Fixed a lot of cars lately, including one that got broken into at work. (and what better place than a mechanic's shop, right?) Worked on my transmission last night, everything's back together in the mustang except the starter motor, one exhaust pipe, and the torqu...

Well, it's not hell, but my personal purgatory has frozen over. Killeen's turned into an iceball. Freezing precipitation all day, and nasty roads. They've closed down a lot of the schools and such around here. Yes, I know, where you live it's eighty below, and there's fourteen foot of snow before they even salt the sidewalks, but this is just bad nasty ice, and there's not much of a system in this part of Texas to deal with it. Everybody's car's is moving around like they're on a Slip and...

I don't know who's doing it, and frankly I need the points, so I'm not complaining, but what the heck is going on? Recently, I'm still getting maybe 30 or 40 hits a day on my home site, but somebody is selecting my articles seven or eight hundred times. As opposed to the hundred or two norm I've had for the last year or so. Is it an error of some kind? Does someone just really, really want to see the comments on my blog? What gives?
