Kewl Dude

I just got email from someone using the word kewl, which I thought had been banned from all Internet correspoendence around 1996, and even from AOL by sometime in 2001. Of course, the guy also called me “dude”, so there’s no telling what kind of time warp this thing came from…

Fresno for the Holidays

Nice dinner with Sarah last night, and today Mark and I are off to Fresno for the weekend…

Sorry I haven’t been very chatty this month. It’s not likely to improve over the next ten days or so, I fear…

Randomly Friday

Thoughts for a Friday morning:

I’m glad to see that someone else gets incredibly horny when he’s sick. I thought I was the only one. Really…
So I’m sitting here on a Friday morning waiting for our new bed to be delivered. The old one’s in the hall, and I’m amazed at how broken-down and disgusting it looks. I shouldn’t be; its assorted protruding coils have been poking me for months now. This bed wasn’t exactly brand new when I got it from friends ten years ago. And it’s seen rather, ummm, intensive use since Thanksgving Day 1993. I guess I’ll miss it in some ways, but I’ll be glad to see it gone in even more ways…
Is it more frightening (a) that there is an “as seen on TV” store at Serramonte Mall in Daly City featuring everything from Ginsu knives to orange cleaner to salad shooters, or (b) that we bought something there last night?

Wow

OK, so it’s not really my kind of music, but you have to have a grudging repect for anyone who covers XTC, Joan Armatrading, Blondie, and Todd Rundgren on the SAME FRIGGIN’ ALBUM. Thanks to Duncan for pointing out this rather bizarre collection…
