Year of the Homer Incident One

Posted on July 31, 2006 by Steve

Year of the Homer started in earnest yesterday. I was too tired [and sore, read on] to get it all written up. Good thing I waited since someone else who shares my birthday (Jeanne “Marcotte”) inherited the exact same crisis. … Continue reading →

iBook repair, third time’s a charm?

Posted on July 31, 2006 by Steve

Once again, e-Mail contact with me will become sporadic due to my iBook’s video going on the fritz for the third time. What a great birthday present it was too (Saturday afternoon when I woke it up). Now I still … Continue reading →

Happy Birthday Kate, who isn’t Kate Bush

Posted on July 30, 2006 by Steve

Another Leo! Kate (Ludlow) has the great luck to share a birthday with a more famous Kate, Kate Bush. How old is she? You’ll have to ask her too. Once again, it’s not polite to reveal the ages of ladies. … Continue reading →

Happy 48th Birthday Kate Bush

Posted on July 30, 2006 by Steve

A favorite singer of mine when I finished high school. When she releasedHounds of Love in 1985, I was really impressed and found myself scratching my head, wondering how did I miss out on her past work. [I had the same … Continue reading →

Year of the Homer, I’m 38 now

Posted on July 29, 2006 by Steve

On this day in 1968, I was born around 330 pm according to my parents. A rather tumultuous year for the US too [see pretty much every annoying TV special about the Sixties]. Now that I am the same age … Continue reading →

Posted on July 28, 2006 by Steve

Twenty years ago, I bought my first CD player and CDs and to celebrate my birthday, I managed to time the 2000th purchase to coincide.    I wanted to make it significant like 1000 was; Earthling from David Bowie which was released … Continue reading →

Three Years and Counting

Posted on July 27, 2006 by Steve

On this day, Somara and I were married at the Mirage in Las Vegas.    Nothing too special this year. She’s making a fancy dinner for us to save money since we’re hoping to swing a trip to Las Vegas … Continue reading →

Happy 66th Birthday Bugs Bunny

Posted on July 27, 2006 by Steve

Today is considered his official birthday and here’s a link to back it. Most people give me a funny look when I tell them the date, as if a cartoon character can have a birthday like a person or a pet. Today … Continue reading →

Happy Birthday Christina!

Posted on July 27, 2006 by Steve

My friend in Hawaii (living the dream!) is celebrating her birthday. It is never polite to ask [nor post] a lady’s age so you’ll have to ask her yourself if you want to know. Christina is a fellow Leo yet … Continue reading →

The Back Room closing this weekend

Posted on July 27, 2006 by Steve

Caught the sad news first on KUT so I’ll go with their story since it’s easier to link than the Austin Chronicle’s blurb.    I had only seen the Aquabats there because in my 10+ years of living in Austin, the Back Room … Continue reading →
