    Bringing you the age of dinosaurs

    [clear] Bringing you the age of dinosaurs Acrylic on wood. About 36 by 36 inches. From a series of paintings I was doing several years ago and never really completed, the series I mean. Someone I know called them my bowling ball head paintings.

  • Give me one good reason why futons aren’t legitimate furniture

    Boy am I feeling lucky. I found “Atom Age Vampire.” I could only watch the first several Italian minutes of it right now, but that was enough to get me giddy, stomach fluttering with happy butterflies over the awesome seedy badness of equilibrium-blowing, tin can dialogue and bleached blondes in flight (literally). I’d feel guilty…

  • Loveland, the soap

    Marilyn-Aphrodite spoke to Tom Delay again. And she said, “Tom, I saw you in the news today…” To which Tom replied, “Oh boy, you s-sure make a pretty postcard, Marilyn, sweetheart.” “You’re stuttering again, Tom. It breaks my heart to see you stutter so, and everyone laughing at you, laughing at you, Tom.” “Prettier than…

  • Talk about a brazen attempt at breaking-in

    This is about as brazen as it gets. Our upstairs neighbor knocks on the door to let us know she went out to walk the dog and saw someone peeking in our front window. She asked what he was doing. He said he was checking his air conditioner. She said it wasn’t his and for…

  • Bobby and the A-Bomb Factory

    Bob Myers wrote a book about growing up a child of Hanford, Bobby and the A-Bomb Factory, that supplies not only a unique account on Hanford but also on the different American Indian nations in the area and the effect of Hanford on them. I happened upon his book the other day and promptly read…

  • The art of bootmaking

    I’m not going to start bootmaking I don’t believe, but it’s a good thing to meander and I enjoyed reading up a little on lasts and heels and oak tanning and pegging. How I got there was via my looking online for where I might buy some boots. My mind took a side road, as…

  • Prepping myself to euthanize Nero

    Fish tanks are supposed to inspire a sense of peace and well-being. This is our sad but pretty, calico Ryukin, Nero. Nero wasn’t always in this sad state. She used to swim upright. We have three other goldfish including one other exotic and they are doing quite well, including Dylan, a feeder comet we got…

  • How to not be a reporter (or gossip, whichever)

    My brother-in-law who lives out of town, was hanging out yesterday, as part of his job, with Trent Lott who was boosting his book. There was a question and answer session. Trent Lott isn’t really impresed with Miers (which we already know). He said couldn’t the president have picked someone who was a judge and…

  • Complaining about the transparent con’s lack of self-respect

    I’m in a shitty mood and because complaining about the Yog Monster which is our government would require my thinking about it, I shall waste my useless words on spam (such as has been slamming my comments areas for weeks and only the devil and its gleeful cackling minions know how purveyors of bogus services…
