No, I didn’t give up after my bad day; I just got lazy. By lazy I mean I didn’t come home and do a write-up of the awesomeness that was my Day 4. Instead I tooled around town and got a whole lot of nothing done and then the day was over. Here I am about an hour before my …
Yoga Day 3: in the losing team’s locker room
For this first portion of this posting, imagine me sitting in front of a bank of microphones behind a press table with some terrible satin curtain or backdrop behind me. Reporter 1: “What happened today?” Me: “My head wasn’t in it and that’s got to be one of the most important things to bring to the game. I started out …
Yoga Day 2: I can haz wood
After surviving pretty much 24 hours after yoga, I thought I’d celebrate with another class. I thought I’d do a nice “Fire” class to follow up with my “Fire” intro, but, in my yogic euphoria I misread the schedule and ended up at a “Wood” class. “No problem,” I told myself, “Core strengthening and stamina are things you should probably …
Yoga Day 1
The last time I took a yoga class, Bill Clinton was just starting his Presidency and I had no concept of what working out in a “hot room” was about. Today, I returned to yoga and lived to tell about it. Because I have managed to fill my active time with other activities for the past couple of years, I …
Re-readability
I can be a horrible creature of habit. For example, if I don’t hit the comic book store on Wednesday I get panicky as all hell. Granted, I’m usually weeks behind on my reading, so I won’t even get to the books that I’m purchasing for several weeks, but I have to hit the shop on Wednesday. Irrational? Yes, but …
Scenes From Outside a Box
Many of you might be aware that I quit my job a little over two months ago to persue a life of leisure. There are many reasons why I finally walked away from my job of five years, but they really aren’t important to anyone other than myself. The big thing that a lot of you who come in contact …
Don’t eff with my lunch
I did something today that I haven’t done at all in my adult life: I didn’t leave a tip at a restaurant. As someone who has worked in a variety of restaurant jobs over the course of my teens and twenties, I cut a lot of slack for a lot of the standard crap that goes on in the course …
Dealing with the modified – 5th in a series
If you are here because of this article then I’m glad you visited. This is the fifth “article” in this series and you could probably stand to read the other four. You are probably what I refer to as my “target market” when it comes to little thing like being in contact with the modified (especially in Dallas). First, and …
Nukin’ Chips, and I don’t mean Ponch and Jon
There is a special place in my heart for the relationship between the microwave oven and the potato. Such an innocuous combination was responsible for the beginning of an amazing friendship and the formation of the Forkers. With that in mind, I approached the melding of microwaves and starchy tuber after reading Savory Sweet Life’s article on “How To Make …
There is a light that never goes out
I spend an inordinate amount of time sitting in front of a computer. I realized last night while going through my typical Facebook/blogs/forums routine that, even when I’m not at work, I spend a crapload of time sitting in front of my monitors. Ultimately, I’m all about getting my daily dose of rads while I rot my brains chuckling at …
