Waiting for the penguins

December 6, 2006

I am buried by work this week. It’s one thing to prepare for what you know is coming up, something else entirely for what you hope is coming up. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, well click here.
I’ve got bloggy ideas bouncing around this empty head of mine, but no time to [...]

Now on a desktop near you

November 22, 2006

As promised, my part-time gig has been released on the internet. So since Christie - and, actually, only Christie* - requested it, here’s a link. Click on the third station down (MIX) between the hours of 6 and 8:30 a.m. That’s when I assault the airwaves.
As yes, I will take requests.

During my recent flight to Vegas, while high above the clouds, my mind wandered. I looked up and down the ailse, surveyed the peeps around me and tracked the whereabouts of the flight crew. I then glanced at my lovely wife and pondered, “I wonder how difficult it’d be for us to make it in [...]

Book Meme

I’ve been tagged by her Bonkishness. The ensuing cooty rash refuses to clear up, so I relent and answer 10 questions only a bookworm would love. Thus:
1) One book that changed your life:
The Amazing Spider-Man Issue No. 251. Yeah, I know this is stretching the definition of book more than the Miami Dolphins stretch the [...]

Robservations - Harrison Ford, a great photo, DS9

September 16, 2006

- Life in Boone this very second, brought to you by Booneweb.com. A great day for football. Our stadium is to the far left. At about 12:30 p.m. I’ll wave from the parking lot. I’ll have the Bud Light in one hand and brat in the other (food, not Gabby).

Playing in my old dorm room

August 28, 2006

Fifteen years ago last week I began a new stage in life - college. I was a freshman, as oblivious of my future as Maurice Clarett. Sometime during that year of missteps, lessons and late-night Spades, I managed to snap a photo of “my side” of the dorm room.
Looking at it now, I notice various [...]

Robservations

August 21, 2006

- The Broken Road found this cool online map which colors in where you’ve been. After inputting my stops, I find I have only seen 29 percent of this great country. I wonder if that’s high, low or pathetic. I do think you should get extra points based on where you were and what you [...]

Random robservations - LOST, headaches and divorcing ESPN

July 26, 2006

- If you’ve been anywhere near a cable channel recently, you know how to use “HeadOn.” You apply it someone stick a nail in my ear directly to the forehead. This commercial is so annoying, yet so perfect. Slate.com breaks it down.
- My television viewing habits follow one simple rule - if it ain’t on [...]
