Aside from Nicky’s plug for toilet paper with a new cover, I found this on his MySpace: I am long overdue for a book signing and trying to get three locked in sometime late 2009-2010. I am signing at the darkroom with Voltaire playing live on stage and another band . . . So, […]

Happy Halloween
Posted in Uncategorized on October 31, 2009 | 4 Comments »
This is my favorite holiday of the year. The fact that it’s Saturday means that I don’t have to dash through a major commuter train station in NYC or Philly, but can dress like a freak, and hand out bags of pretzels with impunity. Pretzels? Yes, pretzels. I’ve no idea how many kids will stop […]
Break Out The Popcorn

Hat tip: PG This thread at SL starts out innocently enough, with what I think is sort of a dumb question. Some people have sensible advice/answers. But the thread devolves pretty quickly into a slugfest between Kenwood and a few others. Although none of the triumvirate of Nitwits is involved, it’s still worth a read […]
Die Comcast, Die

I pulled the plug on Comcast, figuratively and literally. I’ve had it with their service outages; their billing shenanigans is merely the last straw. They claimed our one-year pricing agreement was only good for six months, then started billing us full rate for one more tier of TV service than we ever recieved, claiming we’d […]
A Backward Glance

This is a book that I want to buy and keep on one of my many bookshelves. Checking it out from my local library isn’t the same as owning it. Eudora Welty’s sense of humor is pretty good, but it’s nothing compared to Wharton’s. NYC to Lowell is a big move. As much as I […]
Food is Death for Pet Owners
Posted in Uncategorized on October 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Here’s the nice part: A bill making the rounds on Capitol Hill marries two feel-good propositions — tax cuts and pet ownership — to generate a novel idea: a tax break of up to $3,500 per person for pet care expenses. Damn! That would pay for my two cats for more than their 20 year […]
Daggy’s Halloween Story
Posted in Uncategorized on October 11, 2009 | 15 Comments »
Hat tip: Johaha I really should have my feedreader load new feeds more often. Although Johaha spurred me to look at Daggy’s new story on his blog, it was my spooky looking tortoiseshell cat, camped out on my lap today, being liquid-kitty, that got me in the writing mood. Mind you, what follows after the […]
OT: Groceries
Posted in Uncategorized on October 9, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Admittedly, we do most of our grocery shopping at Aldi, because it’s easily the cheapest place within 10 miles for staples (and very limited meat selections such as rib racks, pork loin, london broil, and chorizo). Any other grocery store would cost twice as much for potatoes, onions, flour, sugar, cat food and litter, etc. […]
