    My Brain Is Scrambled

    I’m working on a project for Holy Moly; I got rooked into finding all the readings for the upcoming Day of Pentecost in a bunch of different languages. Including Thai… not sure why since I don’t know of anyone there who speaks the language, but maybe someone is inviting a friend. I was playing around trying to pronounce the reading in Maori, kind of in the style of the All Blacks doing the haka, when David sent me this picture. Beautiful. I needed a good laugh. I’ve been at this for a while and I needed a break.

    Aw Jeez!! The Chicago Screening of Serenity Is Already Sold Out?

    I went looking for information on the “Can’t Stop The Signal” sneak preview of “Serenity” and found comments on Whedonesque to the effect that the Chicago screening is already sold out.

Are they monkeyboys, or spiders, or an even lower form of life? Are the Mac users more highly evolved than the rest of us (that outta get a rise of their elitist plug-and-play asses)? 😉 So I’ve reached back into the grab-bag of yore and enabled a little poll. It’s…

  • The Road Goes Ever On: 3 Weeks in Britain

    Suddenly, Eighteen Months Later…

    It’s about frickin’ time I got the last Britain travel journal entry done. Because of the fiddling back-dating I did, the earliest entry is at the bottom, but it’s all in September of 2003. You can definitely see a progression in the way I handled images and blogging – the first 2 or 3 entries were written very early in my distinguished writing career. 🙄 Sorry about the ugly “photo corners” on some images. I stupidly put them on and now I can’t take them off. Lesson learned. Anyway, it’s done. If you start here and keep clicking on the…
