Chandigarh

So maybe there is global warming, and maybe it’s caused by man-made pollutants, and maybe not. But whether or [...]

Now that I’m in my thirties, I guess I’ll put away the childish things of my youth–

Died As His Home

March 26th, 2008 · No Comments

The CNN scroller just pointed out again that Richard Widmark died. But there was a mistype: it said that Widmark “died as his home”.

YouTube - The Real Ghostbusters: The Collect Call of Cathulhu Part 1

A Boy the Bullies Love to Beat Up, Repeatedly - New York Times
This is what school was like for me, almost the entire time, from kindergarten up. I took a lot of beatings, gave a few back. My problem was that I never knew when to shut up. Hell, I still don’t.

Happy birthday to me.

March 23rd, 2008 · 7 Comments

Nine years ago, I walked into the Double Down and had my first legal drink, at midnight on my birthday.
