I Saw It

Monday, February 28th, 2005

Just watched Saw. Man, that is a seriously disturbingly good movie. It’s the bastard celluloid child of Se7en and The Game. Intelligent suspense. A little gory, but nothing too bad. I give it two thumbs and two big toes up.

Get your fresh, hot Kalashnikitties!

The Kalashnikitty shirt is back for sale! I have two of these, Hub has two, and they rock.

If you’d like one, there are ordering instructions at this link. We bought our shirts from this very same gentlemen and it all went perfectly.

Unsurance

Friday, February 25th, 2005

My health insurance company took 16 days to process a payment, during which time it became overdue, so they canceled my insurance. In the meantime I had sent yet another payment, which they also sat on. This all happened a month ago. The only reason I found out about it was because [...]

Tooth Fairy

Friday, February 25th, 2005

I was caught a little flat-footed yesterday. I really didn’t think the Tooth Fairy would be coming to our house for another year at least. Since Jo had to have one extracted though, it happened a little ahead of schedule. She got 5 Sacajawea coins under her pillow and was really excited [...]

Always

How long will it cause my heart to twang to see movies like Trading Spaces and Ghostbusters II which prominently feature the Twin Towers in the NYC skyline?

The root of the problem

Thursday, February 24th, 2005

We went into North Austin Medical Center this morning at 7:30 to get Jo’s teeth done. She was a little apprehensive about it, not knowing really what the crowns would be like. Eventually the anesthesiologist came and prescribed her some Versed for sedation. That stuff is the r0×0r! In contrast with [...]

RIP, Gonzo

Hunter S. Thompson committed suicide.

Purse prose

Sunday, February 20th, 2005

I had no idea when I wrote the little entry about handbags that it would end up being the most popular one on the blog, spawning 50 comments (and counting) and getting linked to by various fashion forums (Hi, Makeup Alley readers!). I’d have to say that 99.9% of the people who come to [...]

Operatic heights

Thursday, February 17th, 2005

That was strange.
The dogs kept barking and barking, and I kept hollering and hollering for them to shut up. Finally I went out there to see just what in the hell was wrong with them, and I heard opera singers. Apparently it’s my next door neighbor’s birthday (for I later heard them singing [...]

Don’t Panic

Wednesday, February 16th, 2005

I’ve been quite dubious about the upcoming Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie. I’ve been a HHGG fan for a long time. My original nom de net was Trillian, actually. I was lucky enough to have my Trilogy signed in person by Douglas Adams several years ago in Austin. And I [...]
