Magazine-ripping library patron: ‘I’m not a rabble-rouser’
The patron, John Callaghan, was offended by the cover of a recent issue of The Advocate, a national gay and lesbian magazine, that pictured two bare-chested men leaning in to kiss each other.
Outraged that the library was using taxpayers’ money to carry the periodical, Callaghan tore off the cover […]

relaxing?

Monday, November 24th, 2003

so…my commute is growing on me. Each morning and night, I sit on the train with 50 minutes all to myself — I’ve managed to ignore most people on the train, except for the chain smokers which sit within a seat or two of me once or twice a week.
This morning I was lucky enough […]

the number after 2099

Monday, November 24th, 2003

that would be 2100…1 1/4″ drywall screws…screwed into the subfloor underlayment…by me
The master bedroom renovation project is in full swing: carpet removed, panelling pulled, plaster removed (with exception of the ceiling…tomorrow’s task), 3/4 of the lathing strips removed, and the floor is now level

rollie fingers?

Monday, November 17th, 2003

so…I’m out at lunch, and I see a man in his late 50s with a handlebar moustache. It was perfectly curled and very well-maintained.

what is it with elevators?

Tuesday, November 11th, 2003

I know that there is a sociologist out there that can tell me why people lose there common sense on elevators, but until they come forward: What is wrong with these people!!??!!
Today’s exciting elevator ride consisted of Mr. Sweettooth (carrying 4 econo-sized tubs of laffy taffy) rushing to get on the elevator. Once he’s in, […]

and this week on this old house…

Friday, November 7th, 2003

so…we’ve been in the new house for a week now, and things are really beginning to come together.
The old apartment is 98% empty — I need to make a couple trips there today — just some chairs and camping gear and the frog.
The living room and dining room are painted — minus the trim.
Erika is […]

I swear this isn’t going to turn into a dieting blog…

Friday, November 7th, 2003

but…
can I just say, this diet rocks! Last night for dinner: Steak! This morning for breakfast: Steak!!
Add a couple-few beers and it would feeling like my bachelor-days diet…
so far, since Monday, I’ve lost 5 pounds.

takin’ a trip to South Beach

Wednesday, November 5th, 2003

because buying a house, buying a car, and all of the other good things that come along with those things this week wasn’t enough to reduce my nightly sleeping time to 5 hours a night, I’ve decided to go on a diet. The South Beach Diet. Erika and I started it yesterday. So far, so […]

pride of ownership

Monday, November 3rd, 2003
