Sunday

Up around 8 AM.  I was supposed to do a video chat with Jim at 9 AM, but he wasn’t around.  Instead we did the chat around 11 AM.  We lazed around this morning, as usual.  The garage door wasn’t working again, and I called maintenance about it.  I think they may have fixed it later [...]

Productive!

Today was a productive day.  We were up around 8 AM and after watch a movie in the morning, I started putting the new grill together at 10 AM.  I finished at 12:30 (having gone through my Life On Mars playlist), and we moved the new grill out onto the deck (where, by the way, the temperature [...]

Life on Mars

I’ve been enjoying Life on Mars on ABC.  I may have mentioned somewhere that I was puzzled by a few things–like why Sam doesn’t "prove" he’s from the future by making a specific prediction.  But it seems that, for now, the writers are avoiding the issue.  Nevertheless, I enjoy the show.  One thing I really like about the [...]

Science weekend!

When I checked the mail today I had not one but two science magazines.  First there was the November 15 issue of NEW SCIENTIST (with its special section on science fiction).  Also in the mail was the December issue of SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN.  Plenty of reading to catch up on over this cold weekend.

Snow?

Well, there are flakes in the air right now, snow flakes, and it’s only November 21, still a month away from winter.  And 6 days ago it was in the 70s.

Einstein was right

According to French physicists, Einstein’s famous equation, E=mc2 is correct after all.  An article in SCIENCE details how they confirmed this.  Apparently, it’s the first time the theory has ever been confirmed, which is funny.  I always thought it was confirmed on July 16, 1945.

TV Thursday

Busy and productive day at work today.  It was bitter cold today, but we made the most of it.  When we got home from work, we lit the fireplace and sat by the fire all evening, being lazy and watching TV:  Smallville, The Office, and Life on Mars. No mail of interest today.  I spoke briefly [...]

Life’s litter miseries, episode #1

Running out of ketchup before running out of fries.

Ever have one of those days…

…when you don’t discover you put your boxers on backwards until you are standing in front of the urinal?  I’m not saying I’m having one of those days, I’m just sayin’…

Sleep

As I mentioned, my sleep cycle is off somewhat.  Not only that, but I’m back into a phase of disturbing dreams.  Last night’s were a doozy, no doubt thanks to watching two episodes of Dexter.  A dream where you beat someone on the head repeatedly with a giant slab of freshly minted cash is not [...]

More Tiger

Productive day at work today.  It was cold and overcast and there were threats of snow flurries, but I didn’t see any snow today.  When I picked Kelly up from work, I cleaned up a bit.  I scoured the kitchen, cleaned the litter boxes and took out the trash and recycling.  We watched the two most recent [...]
