SubscribeWhen it rains, it pours. And then it gets cold and turns into snow.
Okay, that title is more melodramatic than it needed to be. Things are just crazy at the moment, and it’s odd how it seems like nothing’s happening, nothing’s happening, and then BAM. (Granted, randomness is clumpy, but still.)
Julie’s interviewing in three states and we’re driving all over the place, back and forth. We have two [...]
It’s not what you know…
It’s who you know. I know that now better than ever, as I reflect on my life from where I was to now to where I’m trying to go. It’s humbling to realize that you owe so much to so many others, especially when you always thought of yourself as a lone wolf type.
Thanks to [...]
Amazing, not a new story, but true none-the-less
If you *haven’t* seen this before, it’s a neat thing to learn, about the way the human brain works. Check out the following quote from another site:

My favorite commercials
These commercials actually make me want to buy one of the cars. I don’t know what the hell it is about “Vee dub” but I thought these were awesome works of marketing.
Comme ce comme sa
So… the sump pump stops working and the basement floods. But I suppose at least it’s not sewage this time.
Finally went to see the doc after weeks of coughing. Turns out to be bronchitis (which doesn’t really mean anything specific, I could have told you there was an inflammation of my air passages). But they [...]
Yup, the Lord Almight is ticked
Two weeks! A new record for longest cough/cold/superbug whatever it is that’s whippin’ my ass. I’m going to have such a damn party when I’m healthy again, enough so to make me sick from different causes. (Seems appropriate somehow.)
Remember the fixed toilet? It stopped being fixed today. Had to go to Walmart (only place open [...]
Thar she blows!
Oh the fun never stops. I learned a valuable lesson today. Not really a big surprise of a lesson, but a definite confirmation. I’m not a plumber. Granted, my lack of ability to deal with other people’s shit for years now should have clued me in. Fixing the toilet today proved it beyond a doubt.
Noticed [...]
Water Under The Bridge (Okay, the Front Yard)
Woke up this morning to the sound of city trucks in my front yard. Apparently the neighbor’s driveway was filled with water, and it seems that it was because my line had broken. The same one that the excavators had busted while digging the other week for my sewer pipe. The city figured the ground [...]

Yup, Vango’s Be Kapoot
Well, it’s official, the open mic that has been running for the last year on Sunday nights at Vango’s in Marquette is done. Dan (the guy running it) had quit his job in the kitchen there, and decided (for multiple reasons) it was the right time to end the rest of his involvement with the [...]
