2011: The Year in Review
I’ve been doing this questionaire each year as a year in review, so why not do it again? This just happens to be the first time over on this website. The old ones were on my former blog. But old is old, here’s the new: 1) What did you do in 2011 that you’d never […]
TV Rankings: Week 1
There’s a part of me that thinks maybe I shouldn’t watch so much tv. Then there’s a part of me that thinks I should embrace it. This was an idea I had last year, and am finally putting into effect this year. Because everything in my world is a competition, why not rank the tv […]
Little freakin’ Debbie
Sure, it came completely out of nowhere. Someone mentioned to me on Twitter that they had Nutty Bars for breakfast. Someone else said they prefer Swiss Rolls. So I asked for a completely unscientific poll on what the best Little Debbie snack was*. Personally, I voted for Nutty Bars, which I thought would completely run […]
I Just Like Saying Weiner
Wiener. In just two weeks Anthony Weiner has gone from being a congressman with a funny last name to being a congressman with an hilarious last name. Add in a few pics of Weiner’s weiner and it can’t get much funnier than that. But in the biggest overreaction of the 2010’s (twenty-tweens?) he’s now being […]
I was running…
I’ve been thinking for awhile that I’m fat and out of shape. Ok, that’s not really a thinking thing as much as a truth thing. My job is a sit at a desk all day and never move kind of job, so in my time there I’ve gained weight and continued to get more and […]
Water Lilies
Last night I took the opportunity to go the member’s preview of Monet’s Water Lilies at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. There are only 2 Monet triptychs in the United States, and this particular one has been divided among three different museums. As a regular visitor to the Nelson I had seen the panel they own in […]
The New Sunday
After years of being a pastor of some form, paid or unpaid, I was used to Sunday mornings always being filled, rushed, and stressful. I’ve been out of that world for a couple years now, and have learned that Sunday mornings don’t even need to remotely look like that anymore. Now I get up when […]
Things I Learned Watching the Oscars
It’s probably been about 10 years since I’ve watched more than a minute or two of the Oscars. It’s not that I don’t care… I do. I’m always very curious to see who wins, but I’ve always been content looking it up the next day. Awards shows are just boring, and I don’t need them. […]
A New Take on Wings
Some guys are leg guys. Others are breast men. I’m a wing man. Well, when it comes to chicken, at least. Naturally, being Superbowl Sunday tomorrow I thought I better make some wings to bring to the party. I remembered reading this article awhile back, so I thought I’d give it a try. I’ve always […]
Snowpocalypse!
This video didn’t turn out at all like I wanted it to, but someone out there may find it slightly interesting. During Snowpocalypse 2011 I worked from home and every 15 minutes I took a picture out of my window to see the snow accumulate. Next time I’ll try taking the pictures out a window […]
