The Dream

Yut showed me this yesterday. (Or was it the day before? Spending close to 24 hours in airports or otherwise traveling confuses my already poor sense of time.)

It’s Neil Gaiman’s library in his basement. OMG, are you not jealous?! Look at those tilted shelves for easier viewing! There are even [...]

Bible?

I was at the Other Change of Hobbit when a man walked in and asked if they carried the Bible. They don’t. He was kind of agitated, and became more so, in a way that intimated that he could not understand why the place wouldn’t carry the Bible. The Bible! At [...]

Batteries and Phobias and Stephen King

So this is the battery from my MacBook Pro. Unfortunately, the laptop is out of warranty and the battery wasn’t one of the recall batteries (although I thought it ought to have been, I mean, look at it!). I’m a Windows user for the most part so it was a lightly used machine, [...]

Interesting, No?

Right now, the time is 05:06 on 07/08/09. (And in fact, if Wordpress let me schedule down to the seconds I could’ve scheduled this for 04:05:06 07/08/09. But alas.)

Roger Ebert: Still Got It

When Transformers came out, we actually rather liked it. I mean, you have to turn off your brain entirely, but sometimes that’s just perfect for a hot summer afternoon. And okay, it was a little too much like a two hour long GM (or some car company, I forgot) advertisement, but well… overall [...]

Eye Exam

I had an eye exam last week. Nothing new, my eyes are terrible. I asked again about daily disposables; last year I tried every brand available at the time. None were a good fit on both eyes, and there haven’t been any new products out this year, CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?! :p [...]

Posing

I have to admit, everytime I’m being touristy, even remotely, I’m tempted to do the v-sign pose. Double, actually. But there are other choices! :) [via kottke]

So Sleepy

I like sleeping. I mean, I know, we all need it, but let’s be honest, some of us like it a whole lot more than others. I love sleep and I’m a pretty bad night owl. (But consider the cultural prejudices that make me say, “bad” night owl! I didn’t even [...]

At Least Decriminalize It

Thoughts on Pot vs Alcohol from a former Police Chief
If one of these two drugs is implicated in dire health effects, high mortality rates, and physical violence–and the other is not–what are we to make of our nation’s marijuana laws? Or alcohol laws, for that matter.
Anybody out there want to launch a campaign for the [...]

Pharmacy

I went to see the doctor yesterday to beg for relief from my cough which has been keeping me (and Yut) up at night; the over the counter Robitussin, honey and tea, Ricola, etcetc weren’t working. I was starting to feel like a zombie from the lack of sleep. Also Yut’s requests for [...]
