Ain’t that just the goddesses’ honest truth.

At least getting your Iron Boots on and off in real life doesn’t require going through forty menu screens. OR DOES IT.

For some reason it amuses me that I cannot start this chapter without wanting to listen to jazz and eat salami.

When I first got my license, I would frequently do stupid things, then turn to my younger sister and say, “Don’t do that.” Nine years later, that’s still the way my role modeling works.

(Note: I was sitting at a pump when I took this. I wasn’t about to tempt fate by assuming I would make it to a gas station. I may be reckless, but I am not stupid. Cough.)

I wanted to try a thing. They’re rather simple but I really like ‘em!

That’s probably my favorite Lon’qu line. These are really cool — well done!

I'm taking tomorrow off.

I wonder what time I’ll wake up in a panic because my alarm didn’t go off. Because I didn’t set it. Because I’m not going to work.

“Weird Al” Yankovic - “Dare to Be Stupid”
from Dare to Be Stupid

Settle down, raise a family, join the PTA
Buy some sensible shoes and a Chevrolet
Then party ‘til you’re broke and they drag you away
It’s okay — you can dare to be stupid

Today’s anthem for living is brought to you by childhood nostalgia and being sick of having to be responsible all the time.

This is how this game always goes for me. God dammit, Eliwood.

It's now or never, take a chance on rock 'n' roll

Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:46:55 -0400

It’s kinda nice out here in Southern New England — a little cool, but I’ll take it — and I was driving around with my windows down, as I am wont to do, when “Old Time Rock ‘n’ Roll” came up. I will not apologize for how much I love that song. Or for the fact that I was singing it even after I got out of the car and went into Walgreens. Pandora’s ’70s Rock Radio station is currently killing it, as well (“Can’t You See,” “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap,” “Falling In and Out of Love,” “Rock’n Me”).

Just ain’t no problem a little rock ‘n’ roll can’t cure.

"I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state."

“I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state.”

- Roger Ebert (1942-2013)

Ebert’s chosen profession had many elites, but few among even those people could match him for sheer gift with the written word. Agree or disagree with him — and particularly over video games did I disagree with him — it’s impossible to deny his contributions to film culture and criticism, and to literature.

When the Sun-Times website comes back up, read “Nil By Mouth,” his essay on losing his ability to eat.

Godspeed, good sir. Two thumbs up to you.
