Ok, now THIS, http://www.mutablerealms.com/ looks like the kind of online multiplayer RPG that just might steal players away from tabletop roleplaying. I'm looking forward to checking it out later this year oor early in '05. EDIT FROM THE FUTURE (2014): Well, that was a bust. Mutable Realms folded in 2005.

Well, friends and neighbors, Grace and I finally bought a DVD player today. Yeah, I know we are behind the wave on this one, but owning a DVD player was not all that high a priority. I mean, we have DISH network, so movies are readily available. However, the fact that you can also play … Continue reading Crouching Chicken, Hidden Wombat →

Oh yeah...the title of the post below this one is taken from the fact that I bought a young coconut from a guy selling them ready to drink from. The meat of the coconut, when it is a young one, is very puddinglike and very easy to scrape off the shell. (which I did, with … Continue reading Swabajukama →

Well, my little porkchops, let's see what Uncle Doc did today. I got up early and drove up to my moms house. She gave me some plants and a couple of pieces of garden equipment. I gave her a Mothers Day card and twenty bucks. (because I no longer give actual gifts to family members) … Continue reading A Great Day For Coconut Snot →

A personal opinion: I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR THE FINAL FUCKING EPISODE OF "FRIENDS" TO BE OVER AND DONE WITH!!! Jesus H Christ on a bagel, this nonstop fucking hype about the end of a lameass sitcom that was never good enough to stand in the shadow of, oh, let's say "MASH" or "CHEERS", is … Continue reading Crazy Talk In The Wild Moonlight →

Well shit, our washing machine died last night. Not a really big surprise (it had been coughing up blood for a year), but a pain in the ass anyway. I guess my Sweet Little Chili Crab With Rice Of Love and I will have to go washer shopping this week. Watched the first half of … Continue reading Robot Sex →

Today wasn't quite as busy as I had figured it would be. Bought a bale of straw to use in mulching the veggies bed, then didn't actually mulch until 3:00 PM. Grace and I took Roscoe to Launderdog and now he's a sweet smelling dude. Didn't go bike shopping cos I was tired from being … Continue reading Gimme A Hot Woman And A Cold Beer →

Well, it took all day and I only got half the veggies in the ground, but my veg garden is looking damned good. Of course, I did get a bit of sunstroke that had me laid out flat in bed for 3 hours (wives can be very stern nurses), but I'll live. Tomorrow: finish the … Continue reading A Little Bit Of Terror On A Hot Summer Night →

Ok, so tonight my Sweet Little Tahitian Blue Lory of Passion and I went to see "Kill Bill Volume 2". Unlike many people, I shall not compare it to "the first movie" because it's only the last half of the whole movie. I really liked it and thought the last portion (with all the talking) … Continue reading Wake Up. Time To Die. →

Not the most eventful weekend here at the the Cross Family Secret Hideout and Canine Thrill Park. The fuckin' weather conspired to keep me from getting my veggies planted. It rained on Saturday and again today. Oh well, maybe I can get everything done after work this week. Didn't go see "Kill Bill Volume 2" … Continue reading Scary Monster Popcorn →

Went to visit my mom today. Had a nice time and man oh man is her garden a thriving jungle. After I left her house, I stopped by to see my sister and brother in law and niece. When i finally got home around 2:00 PM, I found that the hot sun had fried some … Continue reading Outside In The Cold Distance, A Wild Cat Did Growl →

No really big news from Chateau Cross today. Hopefully the veggie garden bed will finally be ready this weekend and we can plant our many veggies and herbs. I'm going up to Marysville to visit my mom this Saturday. It's been awhile since I was up there so I'll probably stop in and visit my … Continue reading Pistols And Jelly Donuts →

HELLBOY Grace and I just returned from seeing "Hellboy" and I've gotta say that it was a damned good movie. Action packed, funny and full of good comic booky strangeness. You should go see it if you want to be cool. OTHER STUFF As I sit here writing this and chowing down on a bigass … Continue reading Doc Tempest And The Robot Master →
