Yeah, it’s been, what, a little over two weeks since my last post? Well, I’ve been sick that entire time. A cold-turned-sinus-infection that kept me out of work for three-and-a-half days last week.

But… I’m back. (more…)

My head cold is lingering but I’m winning the battle. Always do. The beautiful Jeannie always says I have “resistance” to illness, and as she does she mimes something akin to a personal force-field.

To lick a cold, they say you should drink plenty of fluids and get plenty of bed rest. So for dinner I had a beer and I’ve been doing housework. Next I’ll get caught up on my bills and crash.

I’ve nothing of substance to write tonight, folks. Brain’s fried. Maybe tomorrow I’ll have something brilliant and insightful to say. There’s a first time for everything, right?

My girlfriend is playing Dungeons & Dragons online right now. I heard another player over Jeannie’s speakers ask, “Are we gonna sweet-talk this guy or are we gonna kill his ass?”

Really, so much in life comes down to that simple dichotomy, doesn’t it?

You may ponder this while I go to bed to try to shake off a head-cold.

With a name like “Rush,” you’d think they’d move with more alacrity. The Canadian power-rock trio renowned for hits like “Closer to the Heart” and “Tom Sawyer” has completed their first album of original material since 2002. It’s called “Snakes & Arrows,” and the radio single, “Far Cry,” is now available via their Web site. The full album will be available May 1st. 

Have I mentioned that I love Rush? Because, y’know, I love Rush.  

It’s gonna be a loooonnnggg month-and-a-half.

This afternoon I put up a post angrily criticizing a woman in my area for certain remarks she made to the local media. Earlier this week she narrowly escaped being killed in a terrible car crash that claimed the lives of two others. She believes she survived the accident because God has a special plan for her. My initial reaction was one of anger, because her remarks implied that the people who died in the accident were less special than she. Jerry Chandler responded to my diatribe in a very thoughtful way and led me to reconsider. I decided I could not, in good conscience, leave the post up. In its place, I’d like to post what Jerry wrote. Take it away, Jerry: (more…)

I’ve been avoiding going to the local comics shop because I always overspend when I go there, and money has been tight for the last few years. But last Sunday I needed some storage supplies so I broked down and made the trip. While I was there, I decided to pick up a few comics. I showed restraint for once in my life, limiting my haul to the latest issues of X-Factor and Wonder Man, and issues 4, 5, and 7 of Civil War. (more…)

Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter referred to John Edwards as a “faggot” recently. She’s been condemned by both Democrats and Republicans as a result.

I think we should go all Howard Stern on her ass. (more…)

I’m going to do something with my blog I haven’t done yet — I’m just going to blow off steam.

The week of Feb. 25 will forever be known to me as the Week Full of Suckage. (more…)
