My grandmother’s visit is officially over. I didn’t get to see her all that much. The conference kept her busy. Plus, her man friend was in town for it, too, so they hung out most of the time. She spent the night in his camper last night instead of here. You gotta love my grandmother, though. She does her own damn thing and no one gives her orders. Plus, she brought two grocery bags full…
[All I ever learned from love was how to shoot someone]I think the eye doctor duped me today. I can’t be sure, since my scanty internet research on near-sightedness is, well, scanty. Anyway, he convinced me to buy pricey contacts that allow for greater oxygen transfer. He seems to think that my 23-year-old eyes keep getting worse (they’re both up to a -6.50 now) because of the contacts I’ve been wearing, which don’t allow for…
[At the circus]Phil’s 13-year-old brother, Rickey, had a really bad four-wheeler accident last night at his home in Shiloh. He broke his right arm (he’s right-handed) and got a concussion as well as the obligatory covering of cuts and scrapes and bruises that are going to be oh-so-fun to wash out. They sped him to Savannah’s fancy new medical center (I’d love to link, but the only link to it I could find is broken),…
[Better late than never, and other fun cliches]I finally put a hit counter on this damn thing … about two years too late. When I had my own domain, Geocities tracked my hits and told me all sorts of things, like what browsers people used to view the site. You know, in case I cared enough to design based on that browser’s strengths. Which I didn’t. Well, couldn’t. I’m not that good. So I’m back…
[You and I, uneasy, livid]Last night when I got off work, I decided I didn’t feel like going home just yet, so I stopped off at the Flying Saucer for a drink. While I was knocking back a couple of beers for the road, I noticed that Justin Timberlake and Isaac Hayes (Memphis natives, both, though I didn’t realize they were so chummy) were sitting in the corner, sipping from steins, laughing at some sports…
[You suck, Dick]So Besty and Arlene aren’t Deep Throat? And Dick wasn’t a documentary? Aw, crap. Now I have to relearn everything. And, happy birthday to my globetrottin’ grandma.
[Never let them tell you that they’re all the same] RIP Theology-and-geometry.com. I held on to it for as long as I could, but in the end, it was just taking up web space and costing me precious money that I could put toward other things … like car insurance, which I will be purchasing tomorrow after putting it off as long as possible to save up money. Sigh. Chances are the cable and phone…
[More late-night linkage]Look at what Carla Rhodes is up to these days. Apparently she’s living in New York City still trying to make it big. Scroll down and watch her Fuse veejay audition (Quicktime) where the dude asks her and her Keith puppet if they know where Pigeon Forge is. If you’re somewhere you can listen to sound, go here and, keeping your eyes on the right sidebar, scroll down until you see the White…
[Would you like the company or are you sick of me]I found Wiley Wiggins‘s blog by accident. And from there I learned that Richard Linklater will be directing a screen adaptation of Fast Food Nation. See, the internet’s not all bad.
[Eight-year-olds, dude]Let me just say there is nothing better than coming home at midnight and having a plate of leftover rice pilaf and pork chops. Except maybe having rice and pork chops fresh instead of microwaved. Phresh phrom Phil’s (Ph)Kitchen, that is. Comedy Central is playing The Big Lebowski uncut right now, and I am suddenly reminded of how superior this movie is to anything the Coen brothers have done since O Brother Where Art…
