A Tribute to Brad

This Post is a tribute to Brad, and the progression of the day works perfectly in his format, so here you go, enjoy (and a side thanks to Ms. Emily Long for suggesting it):Today started out like many another day--Woke up, didn't want to go class, did some econ reading, watched some TiVo. Dog Whisperer to be exact. It had a Newfie on it...

Praying to the Porcelain Gods (Part Deux)

The reason this had to be a two part-er is because I feel sick--and dude, this is not just like several day hangover. This post has been several days in the making and I am pretty sure I am not going to be able to do it justice. Parts of it may have to be saved for later, as I am struggling even now to complete it. As I so quoted to Nate's sister on the way to the airport: My body feels like an hardily abused Rag-doll. That...

Praying to the Porcelain Pantheon

Airports are generally not my favorite place to pass the day, even more so when libations are due to the gods of drinking.As some of you know JetBlue is my preferred airline of choice when traveling to the East coast--In fact, it is the only airline I fly unless say Emirates airlines was about to front me a cushy bungalow in the front of one of their jets. Just as I am a Ski mountain snob, so too am I an airline snob. I want...

"I've always imagined that paradise will be some kind of Library"

I love libraries. I am sitting in the UW Suzello at the moment, studying/ or not studying Econ. I'm on the third floor in one of the rooms that looks like law libraries in the movies.... the long tables with lamps- old books pushing each other for space on the shelves. It is a HUGE Gothic vaulted room, so when I cough you can hear it at...

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

And when dogs dream- do they dream of herding said sheep? Your call is as good as mine.I asked my dad (the ultimate source on all things medical- and most things worldly) the other day about whether or not dogs could differentiate their dreams from reality. This was prompted by Duffy yipping his face off in his sleep and his wittle feeties...

As Promised: The Nürburgring

Built in the 1920s around the village and medieval castle of Nürburg in the Eifel mountains. 13 miles and up to 143 turns it is considered the most demanding racing circut in the world. It is still heavily used as a manufacture's test track, but on many evenings and weekends it is open to the public! Anyone can take their car, or in our case...

The 'Burbs

There were some things I forgot to add about my Harry Potter experience.So being the nerd that I am, I had to get tickets for the opening night. I did that through the fabulous Fandango. No longer does the day exist where you must wait in line for tickets at your favorite theater only to realize they are sold out, unless of course you want...

Siriusly?

Sirius Black is played by Gary Oleman and he looked goooood in the new Harry Potter, more reviews on the movie in a few after some sweet photo-age:-Very Rogue-ish, and very Tatted up... aka sexy. I am talking about the character, unfortunately not Gary in general; but this does make me want to re-start my acting career so I can meet people...

The Sizzler

So, as many of you know, Washington, and Seattle in particular are known for dreary damp, water-logged weather. We as Washingtonians like to perpetuate this notion, because we don't want more people to move here-- and for generations this misconception held. Washington is the less desirable Oregon territory.Well while it was 102 degrees...

The Day Approaches

As the day approaches for the new Harry Potter Flick, I am becoming obscenely obsessed; as if I wasn't already-- I like to think I have magical powers. Anyway, I am seeing the movie at 12:05 tomorrow night in glorious Alderwood- about 20 skanky miles north of downtown Seattle. I say skanky, because well, Alderwood used to be real seedy-...

Sorry Fans!!!

I am very very sorry to my faithful fans, who when bored at their mundane desk oriented jobs load my site only to find no new content! This is a tragedy, as Mel Brooks puts it so well: "Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die."- I love that man.This small tragedy will be rectified tonight in a slough of posts for your entertainment. However- I am not going to dwell on the missed Passed...

Space Channel 5

I have so many things to post about, O where to begin. Let's just jump right in with the title: Space Channel 5 was an awesome single player reflex game for Dreamcast; which in my opinion was the best platform of its generation--one of my favorites of all time. Favorite game was San Fransisco Rush 2029. All I remember is it had this really...
