Hey, y'all...I'm looking for a cartoony type artist to team up with me on a comic strip about gaming/gamers. (wow, original concept, eh?) If anybody knows of one, let me know.

Time for an Update on what I'm up to lately... READING: "Master and Commander" by Patrick O'Brien A cracking good novel and the first in the "Aubrey/Maturin" series.

ARRR, ya goggle eyed buncha landlubbers, it be Talk Like A Pirate Day! Here aboard the "Falling Anvil", me and me first mate Grace be lookin' forward … Continue reading Iron Chef: Dogfood Sandwich Battle →

Just got back from seeing "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow". Absolutely excellent Saturday matinee movie! Action packed, retrofuture looking, Godzilla/King Kong referencing, Hollywood serial honoring coolness of the highest order. Take you kids, take your parents...hell, take your GRANDPARENTS! Worth every penny of whatever the ticket costs you. Also hitting the redline on … Continue reading Crunchy Munchy Honey Bunchy →

As Grace and I expected, the subhuman white trash next door are not being cooperative now that they've found out they owe us for their half of the repairs for the tree damage.

After last weekend and the Fallen Tree From Hell, we reckoned we deserved some relaxation. Tomorrow marks the … Continue reading Rollin’ And Ramblin’ →

However, all the electrical repairs done on our white trash neighbors house seems to have been THEIR responsibility, not ours. Acty Of God and all, don'tyaknow. Now the big trick will be getting the $3,500.00 out of … Continue reading The Squirrels Are Watching Me →

As of about 6:30 this evening, our power was finally restored. The electricians have to come back tomorrow and put in a ground on our box AND fix our neighbors stuff. Cost of all of this emergency shit on Labor day weekend? $7,200 so far, with as much as $3,000 more if they have to … Continue reading WE HAVE POWER!!!!! →
