Broken Dreams
Jan 30th
This just kills me…but I just can’t do it all.
Gotta give some things up. Damn job anyway…you guys know any whacko masochists with welders?

What a Commute!
Jan 29th
Commuting on a Sunday? Well, yep. A major system upgrade has me in this morning at about 5:00am. I’m just here to help test…the guys and gals doing the upgrade have been here since 2:00am!
Anyway, Sunday morning at 5:00am is a heck of a commute! 20 miles of running on The Dragon and I only see about 5 moving cars. There were a couple left over crashed ones…but apparently this time is late enough so that the drunks have already crashed or made it home (or to jail).
Out of the 5 moving cars I saw, 4 of them were police cars.
There’s just something decedent about having 10 lane freeways and 130 foot high, five-level spaghetti bridges all to my self!
Zoom, zoom!

Well…I had to do it. Behold! Chipaquesos!
Jan 27th
Many of you may be familiar with Howard Tayler’s webcomic Schlock Mercenary. If you’re not, you should be. Go read it!
Anyway, somewhere in the 31st Century there is a troop of hungry mercenaries rousting about. Assuming the galaxy lasts long enough until snack time, those hungry troops need one (a snack that is, grunts typically have no use for an entire galaxy…the storage fees alone can be crippling).
Desperate 31st century scientists, keenly aware that this hungry bunch of irritable…ur…contractors…were also heavily armed, quickly invented the Chupaqueso.
They had to act. After all, how many…ur…contractors…do you know that carry a plasma cannon and a couple sawed off multi-cannons? Oh, and a light armor division. More >
The Social Aspect (Family)
Jan 26th
One of the toughest things about dieting is the social aspect of eating, particularly if you’re trying to change long-term habits and lifestyle instead of just running a crash diet.

Diet? Drinks
Jan 25th
Interesting…
Okay, lets talk diet drinks.
Again, the CDC would have you believe it’s only calories that count. Diet Sodas should be a freebee right? I mean, they have no calories right? More >
And So it Begins…
Jan 24th
Sooo…for those that emailed me yesterday…good guesses and thanks for your support. Well, the guess about number of strokes required for climax wasn’t such a good guess…and the one friendly reader that suggested I cram my “sophmoric html skills” where the sun don’t shine…well…I don’t really appreciate his support.
