  • Tired. And cold. The AC in this building works too well. IAE, Steve Jackson Games finally opened up the Warehouse 23 basement, a collection of amusing items from across time and space. I contributed a bunch back in the…

  • I am feeling disturbingly human. I want change without pain or loss; success without risk; reward without endevour. I am reminded of the words of Pogo: We are confronted by insurmountable opportunities.

  • Strange syncr..synchron...sinkron...coincidences.I am editing a document for a publisher and am rearranging a list of character merits and flaws. As I'm shuffling them around, I end up pasting in the sequence "Destitute"…

  • Misread headlines of the day. On Yahoo news, we have: • Bush declares federal disaster for Illinois • Scientists find signs of life in ancient lava Which I read as "Scientists find signs of life in Illinois".

  • From the "Rhinox, Bumblebee...get a friggin' ROOM!" department... ===========================================http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/04/22/amorous.rhino.reut/index.html LONDON, England (Reuters) -- A rampa…

  • Lizard is v. cranky. And wants a full-time writing gig. So, in the unlikely event someone in my legion of fans (Which is, kind of, like being the Legion of Subsitute Heroes Auxiliary Reserve) happens to be an editor or p…

  • A bit of nerd humour, from this page:

  • It occurs to me I've been lax in my move reviewing of late. This has been a good month for movies -- I've recently seen Hellboy, Hidalgo, and Dawn of the Dead, and, Saturday, the long-awaited Kill Bill Vol 2. The fir…

  • So. Panda and I did the budget today. It wasn't pretty. In fact, it was damn scary to realize how many little things suck up our income bit by bit. Sigh. Time to control spending dramatically and begin cancelling unneces…

  • You are a MASTER of the English language!While your English is not exactly perfect,you are still more grammatically correct thanjust about every American. Still, there isalways room for improvement... How grammatically …

  • So what do Lizards do when they're not writing? Mostly, wonder what they did when they weren't writing. The sudden vastness of free time is frightening to me, much like the emotion called 'wuv'. I've been playing with th…

  • So. My employee review has been moved, again, to the 20th. My sane side says this is because we've been hit with a megaload of new 'required' features and my boss has to be spending his time coding, not reviewing. My par…

  • A fairly relaxing, if not overly productive, day. I watched the "Clone Wars" animated series, and noted it's among the best Star Wars media to come down the pike in some time; Genndy Taratovsky's love of the story seems …

  • "Riverworld" on the sci-fi channel.I just watched it. It was two hours long w/commercials. Watching it on TiVo, being able to FF through the commercials, it took about 2.5 hours to watch, because I had to keep turning to…

  • From the "You can't make this stuff up..." Department Actors Whip Easter Bunny at Church Show GLASSPORT, Pa. - First, the Passion of the Christ. Now, the torment of the Easter Bunny? It may not have b…

  • Achy and sleepy. Daylight savings time and me don't go together well. That, and we've had two micro-blackouts in the past few days, which means all our clocks, etc, need to be continually reset. "Annoying" doesn't begin …

  • Right. Must blog. I begin far too many blogs like that. Holding pattern continues. I'm currently toying with the idea of spending time working on some of my own projects, at least until someone begs me to come write for…

  • "When you talk to God, it's praying. When God talks to you, it's schizoprenia." (Unknown)Texas Woman Pleads Insanity

  • "Once upon a time, there was a perfect man who came from the sky and did only good..." (Alan Moore, 'The Last Superman Story') Beth (who currently looks like death warmed over, and sounds worse) and I are starting to …
