Fun Concert
But I still don’t like concerts. The Laird and I went to see Disturbed at the Full Throttle Saloon. He was surprised that I wanted to go, but I like Disturbed, it’s Sturgis Rally week (which is, I’m sure, why they bothered with South Dakota), and I’ve never been there or done any rally stuff.Continue reading “Fun Concert”
Why I don’t like Art
I started What These 4 Trends in Painting Reveal About Our Image-Saturated Age with a sense of hope. As is usual with things related to art, I was disappointed. When your gallery display looks like Costco’s discount rug aisle, you’re doing something wrong. I will admit it does have a certain “capturing the Zeitgeist” vibe,Continue reading “Why I don’t like Art”
Order of Magnitude of the Day
Technically, the next one down would be 0.7 degrees. But what happens with negative numbers? Is -7 an order of magnitude less than 7? I don’t think so. Either way, thank you, G*d, for letting me live in the 21st century when I don’t care that it is 7 degrees outside.
Trendsetting
I can’t help it. It just happens. As you can see, I was collecting snowman heads long before every Metal band and their brother were singing about the need to “hew many snowmen”. It’s a heavy burden.
Jealous Much?
Mark Zuckerberg is in the corner with a UFC fighter. WTF? I understand going to the fights. I’ve seen Trump in the front row at a couple – even after the assassination attempt. But being in one of the fighters’ corner? That’s weird. Or I’m just jealous. If I had his money, it’s something IContinue reading “Jealous Much?”
Fantasy, Imagination, & Reality
I noticed on my morning walk that it’s almost K-bar deer season. “Huh?” is a reasonable reaction. A few years ago, Amazon had K-bar’s on sale. I have absolutely no use for one, but they’re the knife of the Marine Corp, so they’re cool. I thought about it, considering that my purchase of Axe bodyContinue reading “Fantasy, Imagination, & Reality”
It’s a Small World
Just as I get old and cynical, I find the world is even smaller than I thought. I have a Russian co-worker (several of them, but only Sergey is relevant to this discussion) who goes on an across-the-middle-of-nowhere trip every summer. He sent me a video of an ATV trip. These were not normal ATVs.Continue reading “It’s a Small World”
Open Carry
I finally understand why the doors come off Jeeps. This was quite handy.
The Chaos
Also known as Dearest Creature in Creation. IMHO, it’s one of, if not the, most technically brilliant pieces of English poetry. I’m going to read the first page or so as Reader/Jokemaster at the tomorrow’s Toastmasters meeting. It must be read aloud. And you must read it yourself, as opposed to having it read toContinue reading “The Chaos”
