Tunes?

God, my arm where that guy bit me this morning is really burning.  I keep running cold water on it and lathering it with NeoSporin and a cortisone cream, but nothing helps.  It’s driving me crazy.  I’ve got an ice pack on it now which makes it hard to type but at least makes the [...]

Re: Your Brains

Jonathan Coulton is one of my favorite singer/songwriters.  Today I’ve got his song "Re: Your Brains" stuck on demon-loop in my head.  I’m feeling kind of queasy, probably because of the fight in the back yard this morning, hence the headache and the demon loop music.  I called my health insurance provider’s advice line and [...]

On with the Redneckification!

The Redneckification of Dixon continues.
Back in April, voters in Dixon defeated a series of measures which would have allowed Magna Entertainment to build a horse race track in Dixon (I liked that Magna spent thirty times more on the "Yes" campaign than the opposition, and still got defeated).  We’ve already got a WalMart and more [...]

Smut!

No, not that kind of smut.  I’m talking about corn smut, a fungal disease of maize.  Corn kernels infected with corn smut turn gray and bloated and just look really ugly.  Of course, corn smut is also considered a delicacy in some areas, though it’s generally considered a pest in agricultural areas of the US.  [...]

Unexciting Around Here

Once again, my lungs are giving me hell, so yet again I’m working at home today.  Hacking away at Moodle like always, doing random tech support, and forgetting to update my online timesheet (which is ironic, since I’m the one who created the online timesheet that everyone in our office uses anyway).
Summer’s upon us, which [...]

Zombiegeddon is Nigh

On Wednesday, June 13, it will be time to blog like it’s the end of the world.  I, of course, will be taking part, and I expect you to do so as well.

Thanks to my friend Bonnie for the heads up.

Movie Goodness

A few movies have magically appeared on my computer recently. There’s The Grudge (which I said was the scariest damn movie I’d ever seen the first time I saw it, but its effect has been diluted since I saw the original Ju-On), and its (surprisingly halfway decent) sequel The Grudge 2. But today [...]

Zombie Elf Pics?

Although I have yet to find a good home for my short story, "Night of the Frozen Elf", it still has a special place in my heart.  I don’t suppose anyone out there can point me to a picture of a zombified Christmas elf that I can put on my home page?  I’ve hunted but [...]

We Got Searches

On another note, I’m not sure what I’m more amused by: that my blog showed up when someone did a search for "DunDraCon hot chick", or that someone did that search in the first place.
I personally know at least one hot chick who did attend DunDraCon, but unless I’m greatly deceived about certain key elements [...]

Today’s Word

Today’s word of the day is "Coulrophobia", which means "fear of clowns".  Apparently there’s some discussion in certain circles as to whether coulrophbia really does exist, or if it’s a social phenomenon brought on by a media full of evil clowns (Stephen King’s Pennywise, for example, or John Wayne Gacy).  The clown as a symbol [...]

In Other News

This infrared image of the Helix Nebula, taken by NASA’s space-based Spitzer Space Telescope, is one of the most awesome astronomy pictures I’ve seen in a very long time:

Just looking at it gives me the chills. 
At one time I was quite the science geek.  I still have a telescope that my parents gave me [...]
