Wow

My fingers feel like fingers again.
I can walk up and down stairs.
I know this is only the second dose, but I think the Methotrexate may be working.

Advice For Other Bloggers

After the fiasco at MCB I vowed privately (although I guess as of now it’s public) to never again close another thread or block another commenter on any blog I ran. I also vowed to only ever run my own blog.
If, like me, you have made a stupid vow to yourself along the same [...]

Why I’m Pissed At Clay Aiken, Why I’m Not Worried About the Market And Why I’m Not Seeing That Conservative Hollywood Movie

Clay Aiken
Yes, I know he came out a week ago. It’s old news and it wasn’t even that interesting when it first happened. But I’ve been stewing on this and I think I need to get it off my chest.
I like Clay Aiken. He’s the only American Idol contestant [...]

Late Night Struggles With The Elihu Paradigm

For many decades, Christianity was culturally low on fun times. The stuff most middle and lower middle class people did for fun–movies, cards, bowling, chilling with a beer–were off limits. I think that’s why a lot of the faithful turned to Name That Sin as a sort of leisure activity. [...]

Things That Aren’t Really THAT Bad…But Tick Me Off Anyway

This is an Andy Rooney post. My apologies. I swore to never write an Andy Rooney “kids these days” post, but you know, oh well. I am weak-minded and weak-willed and it’s Monday, my friends.
Bath & Body Works hand soap is expensive. I did the math one time and it works [...]

Fringe

Pam asks if I’ve seen this yet, and I really didn’t want to answer.
Because I want very much to like Fringe more than I do. It has an intriguing premise. It has a sterling pedigree. It has the Steward of Gondor. It has Lieutenant Daniels.
We rushed [...]

May I Introduce You To Your Right Hand?

I just saw a commercial for Curves–the place where you can work out in thirty minutes or less or it’s free. Or something like that.
Apparently if we join now they will give us a free (!) breast self-exam kit.
???
Really.
Now maybe I’ve been doing it wrong the last twenty seven years or [...]

Premiere Week TV Thoughts

At long last, ‘regular’ TV is back. I and my TiVo can both breathe long sighs of much relief.
MONDAY
This is the hardest day for the ol’ TiVos, as 7:00 is the dangerous three way of CBS comedies, NBC’s Chuck and FOX’s Sarah Connor Chronicles. Since I’ve only got [...]

My Attic…?

I know I have an attic, because they mentioned one when we built the house. I have no idea how to get in there, though.
That worries me.
The last couple of days I’ve looked really good. Like, seriously attractive. Now, I’m not a bad looking person to begin with, I [...]

Midnight At The Lost And Found

Next Saturday is my twentieth High School reunion. Because it’s in Indiana and I am in Tennessee and the gas to get there and back again would cost about as much as a new iPhone, I will not be going. But that’s just my surface excuse.
It kind of breaks my heart in [...]
