Salvatore has arrived. A gift was made to me, on the occasion of my (ugh) 38th birthday: namely, a Salvatore SES Semi-Automatic espresso machine. My birthday was a month ago, but Salvatore Cisaria builds the machines to order, by hand, so you wait for a bit when you get a machine. His custom work is [...]
So Mona came into the family room last night, carrying Ducky. Ducky is her stuffed duck that she has had since Day One. He has a yellow head, and is dressed sort of like a clown, in a white suit with colorful dots. There used to be a music box in his head, with a [...]

Wow, I can’t believe it was only a month ago that we did the movie 5×5. Time flies. OK, this month’s 5×5 is this: write a letter to George Bush, a letter of five sentences of five words each. Say whatever you want, except don’t get me in trouble by actually threatening him (I’ll delete [...]
And it’s over federal funding of potentially life-saving medical research. He’s such a hypocrite: he does nothing about embryo destruction, which happens by the tens of thousands every year, he just stops that destruction from being able to serve a medically useful purpose using federal funds. If it’s bad, it’s bad, don’t pick and choose [...]
Monthly Call for Life is not my favorite blog anymore. The guy is really pretty psycho. What with him posting pictures of dead fetuses on his site, I’m not going to link it, and I’ve deleted the other links. Anyway, the stupidity was fun to watch for a while.
Wow, some people have no clue. This is why The Onion is still America’s Finest News Source. Update: I think Monthly Call for Life is now my favorite blog. This guy is incredibly ignorant, and so steadfast in his ignorance. Another update: The dude is now putting up disturbing abortion images for all the folks [...]
The New York Times has a story about yet more secret programs of the Executive Branch that they kept secret, even from Congress. If Republican Hoekstra is complaining, he who has ardently defended the NSA wiretapping and Gitmo, you can be sure that this new program is even worse for your civil liberties than anything [...]
But Ken Lay is dead. There’s something karmic here: I’m going to go out of my way to slap mosquitos and pour salt on slugs now, in the hopes that I catch him at his current rung on the reincarnation ladder.
Family moves to new village. Two sisters explore the house. A giant rabbit-bear thing? Little May gets herself lost. But Catbus fixes it all. Disney, a while back, bought the US rights to Studio Ghibli movies. Which sucks. The first bit of suck was with the first few movies they released, where Chapter One was [...]
