  • Textbook Irony

    The Apple store says their “geniuses” are very busy with repairing computers so it’s several more days before they can look at my monitor. I already know my monitor is going to cost probably (at least) $500 to repair. After 16 months in my possession, the Apple power box apparently freaked out and went bad…

  • Wandering Youtube

    Elle Greenwich is dead. She wrote some amazing songs. Tina Turner. What a voice. Can’t pass this one up. I didn’t realize until now that Marc Bolan played on Nutbush City Limits. Ike and Tina and the T Rex hit. Marc Bolan was the session player on this as well as Sexy Ida Part II…

    Who in Wasilla knows me by name?

    Wasilla? I check my stats once a month since no one visits my blog/website. No one visits the website for my “Unending Wonders of a Subatomic World” book so any activity stands out. So, was wandering through the stats which only hold the last 100 entries and there on July 22nd was someone from Wasilla,…

  • Sofa Pillows

    When are sofa pillows too flat and look sad instead of perky happy? Does it matter? Our sofa pillow covers have zippers because I’m practical that way. When they get flat I can easily replace the stuffing. I can’t rub the front and back fabric together so I guess I’m good. But when you can,…

    First words out of H.o.p. this morning, “Well, y’know people have their own opinions and I’m my own person…” which means he’s about to ask for something which I’ve told him already was not a good idea.

  • Our apartment building would collapse on sight just out of fear

    This beast is freakin’ huge. Must be a hallucinatory experience driving down the road and happening on this thing, especially if you don’t know it exists. That saw! How big is it?! It could probably slice our apartment building in half. We Aren’t Seeing Transformers if This Thing’s Not in it Link to Gawker

  • As if his voice isn’t distinctive enough

    Bob Dylan was taken into custody on suspicion of not being really Bob Dylan (he doesn’t look like he did years ago) but instead some old guy just saying he’s Bob Dylan, looking at a house for sale. He requested to be driven over to the hotel/tour buses, an id was made by his manager…

  • Aquarium Trauma

    Major tank die off of fish and we don’t know why. Water’s right and the temp is right. The fish don’t even look sick until they suddenly stop and die. Nothing weird looking about them. No discolorations. No swellings. No rot. This began a week ago and has hit critical mass today. We’ve not a…
