So, lately, I’m reading Pinker’s new book on human nature and the human mind, The Blank Slate, and of course this gets me into Thinky Mode.
For a long time now I’ve been comfortable with the idea that I just plain hate people. You know, the droves of bodies that float across this world, mindlessly […]

Wtf, now I know why I stopped listening to this album:
The lights came on fast
Lost in motorcrash
Gone in a flash unreal
But you knew all along
You laugh the light
I sing the songs
To watch you numb
I saw you there
You were on your way
You held the rain
And for the first time
Heaven seemed insane
Cause heaven is to blame
For taking […]

No, not the movie.
It’s 5:45 am, and I can’t sleep. I woke up for whatever reason over an hour ago, and have been tossing since. Sucks.
*stops to apply chapstick, much better*
Maybe it was all the coffee I drank yesterday. So, like always when I can’t sleep, I got to thinking….which leads to […]

The last week+ has been rough. Strep throat just plain sucks, for several reasons. One of this is poor sleep, which means being tired/sleeping all day. Blah! I’m finally recovering though and getting back into the swing of things instead of hating life.
Tonight will be one of my last two shows […]

I’m not one of those people who spends hours reading a newspaper, watching the news, or tuning into MSNBC videos. However, I do give The News a good glance or two each day, to stay abreast of certain situations if and when my opinion is ever called up on. It’s nice to be […]

Talk about less clutter, right? Right?
Yeeeeaaaah.
Anyhoo, I think we’re all fixed up here. A big fat thank you to my Dean for handling the file wrangling and moving the new site over to the proper locationeded. This will now be my primary spot for everything Laurie, and I’m happy to finally have […]

Lately, I’ve had cravings to do something. To do more somethings.
One of those is to make my life less synthetic, less “chemical”, less mainstream, more natural.
Okay, so, one example is I want to totally give up buying mass-produced perishable groceries. I’m tired of supporting livestock cruelty, tired of hormones, tired of assembly line […]

What a heavy morning this is. So tired. Gotta stop staying up so late damnit. Though, seeing Time Bandits again after 20 years was great fun.
Didn’t get to the bank yesterday… hoping to get that taken care of this week so we can figure out what we’re doing with the car before […]

I totally forgot to mention that the best part of the 4th was the Shuttle Launch!
How could I forget that!? It was the first launch I watched since the Columbia disaster. I’ve been jaded with NASA for a while. I mean, really, the TWO launches I actually watch and wanted to see, […]

I’ve been really out of touch with this the last week or so.
I mean, what have I done? Uh.. I went to the book signing for An Inconvenient Truth(late June). I almost didn’t, but I told myself to fucking get off my ass and finish what I started. So I got in […]
