Morons! Your bus is leaving!
Rise and shine, campers, and don’t forget your booties ’cause it’s cooooooold out there today! The groundhog says six more weeks of winter. Wonderful. More sleet and snow is on the way tonight. Wonderful. I normally like winter, and it’s great to have it all wintry for Christmas. But just like last winter, it’s getting…

Super Ending
Wow, what a game! Every once in awhile, you get to watch a really good Super Bowl. This one started out really slowly, as there was no scoring at in the first quarter and most of the second one. There was a flurry of points with about five minutes left in the second quarter, and…

My Favorite Movie Has a First Name, It’s O-S-C-A-R
The nominations are in. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King did very well. 🙂 I think the biggest shocker is that Cold Mountain did not get a Best Picture nomination. I haven’t seen this film, but it was getting rave reviews so I figured it was a lock for a nomination.…

Anger Rising
So we got about five inches of snow last night through this morning, and the roads are a mess. Some of the side roads I took this morning were actually clearer than the main roads. To top of it, there’s an ice storm on the way. And what does the federal government do about it?…

No More Ping Pong Balls
Captain Kangaroo is dead. 🙁 I remember watching this show as a child and loving it. My favorite part was always Mr. Moose telling knock-knock jokes and the hundreds of falling ping pong balls that would ensue. To a child, this was comedic genius. Heck, that’s even comedic genius to an adult. So long, Captain.

Lee Jackson King
Happy Lee-Jackson-King Day! It’s just a Virginia thing so no one else really knows what that means, but when I was a kid, we celebrated Lee-Jackson-King Day. Not that there was any actual “celebrating” in school, but that’s what I remember the day being called. Today used to be the day to celebrate the birthdays…

Baby, It’s Cold Outside
13. That was the number on the thermometer this morning. I know people up in New England would love to have those kinds of temperatures right now, but to me, that’s the type of cold that’s “bone-chilling”, as the kids like to say. With the windchill, it feels like -5. -5! Who actually knows what…

Random Musings
If you’re going to New York to exchange gifts and celebrate Christmas with your family, you might want to bring the gifts with you. 🙁 Apparently, it’s “okay” to have awards and parties spewing hatred and making comparisons to genocidal dictators as long as the person you’re talking about is named George W. Bush. :whocares:…

Hackbox
So I finally decided to hack my xbox. For those not aware, to hack your xbox, you have to disassemble it, solder in a modchip, and then reassemble it. It’s that easy. 🙂 Actually, I had never soldered before and the thought of it seemed quite daunting, but after much research and some practice on…

Ground Control to Major Tom
How cool are the photos from Mars (especially the color ones)? It’s difficult to wrap your head around the fact that those are actually pictures from another planet. It’s straight out of science fiction. Maybe we’ll colonize it and start mining it and then people will take virtual vacations and discover that they aren’t really…
