File under Irony

Mary Kate and Ashely have a new clothing line.. No, it is not ‘Auschwitz Revisited’ nor is it the ‘Karen Carpenter Story Redux’.

No, they have come out with a Plus size line of clothing. That’s right, the sisters who made visible rib bones popular again are bringing you cloths for the more [...]

Sweet Pea

We got a dog.

A puppy to be exact. Her name is Sweet Pea. She’s mostly a Leopard Cur, which is some kind of all around hunting/guard dog. She’s bluish gray with black dots -very distinctive.

And she’s a cutie pie. But, being a puppy she’s also high maintenance. Oy! Having [...]

Process versus Vision

I’m a process person.

I am reading ‘Pour Your Heart into it’ a sort of autobiography of the guy who brought us Starbucks. It is considered a business book, but really it is a beat the odds book that affirms just what might be possible in this great country of ours. More on this [...]

Knitting aint for grandma anymore

The wife has taken up the Extreme sport of knitting (hey, those needles are large and sharp!). And she’s making some progress too. Just recently she knitted a wimple. I thought wimple was a character from Popeye, but apparently it is a hood like hat device. Boy, I’m glad I now [...]

The Annoying & Erroneous Network

A&E really bugs me, I don’t know why -but it does. Tonight’s lineup: ‘Intervention’, a show where a family messily and painfully tries to get a loved one to kick some deadly drug habit. It is as un-entertaining as it sounds. This show is followed by ‘Confrontation’ where real people hurtfully confront [...]

Die Another Day

It must be a grumpy night at the ole Rancho del Ogre. Oh well. I just watched ‘Die Another Day’ a Bond movie featuring one of my favorite Bond’s (Brosnan). Except this movie sucks. It is not a good Bond movie. The over the top stunts are almost comical, the [...]

Pop culture Dino

I love books. I like their feel, the way they smell, owning them, giving them, buying them.. Hmmmm books. I buy comic books too. Short little iconic stories often told surprisingly well -not too mention the art can be absolutely fantastic. I like buying music. I like searching out new [...]

Yanni will make you his bitch.

Yanni has been arrested for domestic violence. The Prince of Peaceful music has turned into a brutal SOB. Who knew? Personally, I think this is a sign that Armageddon is NOT going to happen. No, the universe will go on and on and on..

A suprising killer

What cancer kills more women then any other? Kills. A very specific point.

Cervical? No. Breast? No. Ovarian? No. Lung? Ding ding ding! You are a winner.

Does lung cancer kill more smoking women? Sorta. It does not specify. It kills smokers and non-smokers [...]

Free crap is still crap

I got Showtime and The Movie Channel for free this past weekend. The wife’s away on business, the kid is at the Grandparents and I am working more hours than Noah after 3 days of rain. So, sitting down and flipping on the tube and seeing a quality movie while I drift into [...]
