Just the news, big deals, not-so-big deals, birthday, anniversaries, announcements, mostly timely stuff. The news that applies to the personal world around me, not what you watch on cable or listen to on the radio.

Summer is finally here!

Technically, for me, I’d say the kickoff is Memorial Day even though I still had to attend grade or high school for another week during my childhood. And we know it was mid-May in college. Sucks when you become an … Continue reading

Well…duh! Then again, certain people do…

Maybe cats are evil at their core…

A rare good thing about getting older, is my need to get up every two-to-three hours to piss while you youngsters stay asleep, was it allowed me to wake up quickly when the smoke detectors made their obnoxious noises. Rushing … Continue reading

Instead of sensible gun control, we get this in Amerika

 This is how pathetic the Amerikan gubmint is and what thoughts & prayers results in. Despite the clear evidence showing how more guns makes the country less safe, the Republican bullshit talking point about good guys with guns being deprived … Continue reading

More instances of no good guys in sight

It’s a good thing the Republicans keep introducing laws to make it even easier for nut jobs, ammosexuals, disgruntled exes and white supremacists to buy guns. Seems that their plan for vigilantes to counter what’s happening is falling short. To … Continue reading

Welcome May 2023! I stand with the WGA

While the rest of the world celebrates Labour Day (added the ‘u’ since it’s Un-Amerikan), we just go, meh. I think it’s very fitting though. Today the Writers Guild of America goes on strike and I’m behind them all the … Continue reading

Farewell Kuroneko

Last night I got to have my final goodbye to one of the sweetest cats I’ve ever known. Somara was gracious enough to let see Kuroneko, give her cuddles and whisper in her ears why I loved her so much. … Continue reading

200,000 calories!

Woo hoo! As I keep getting into the groove of exercising in the morning, I crossed this threshold on the bike at work that tracks all I’ve done on it. No luck on getting it to add what I did … Continue reading

Double dang! I owe again!

Good thing I got to apply for an extension right away. Hell, I can’t remember if I owed last year or not. It sucks to owe the IRS money, especially when I’m paying more than all the billionaire shitbirds who … Continue reading

Dang! Back to a specialist on my crummy teeth

What I was hoping to be a routine filling operation became a little exercise in some pain. It’s my fault for not getting the right kind of toothbrush earlier in life and being more dedicated. So the filling I needed … Continue reading

Twenty-four years at Apple, Inc.

Now I feel like one of those decrepit, asshole US senators I criticize because I’ve been employed at the biggest computer company (in value via stock shares, assets) for the equivalent of four terms. And I was just re-elected into … Continue reading

A very overdue destination! Hell, I was within striking distance in January but I had to get sick, then COVID-19 sick, then Daylight Savings Time acclimation and now I’m back in the groove! Not so much the doctor harping on … Continue reading

Saw the doctor yesterday, I’ll live

Had to go back in order to get a refill on my irb-something which is for high blood pressure. Yeah, how 25-year-old me would be impressed at 54-year-old me. I know neither version is thrilled about this upcoming birthday, I’m … Continue reading

In honor of D&D the movie…

…I decided to make my header Krull, the original attempt to make a D&D-based film but fell through and thankfully was recycled into a pretty good B-level Fantasy flick. It even stars the late Robbie Coltrane and big fave Liam Neeson … Continue reading

The month is nearly over so I will finally explain/blather on why the header art I went with Monty Python’s: The Meaning of Life. March is the 40th anniversary of its release in US theaters plus it’s the first full-length movie … Continue reading
