Coffee, 0 for 3

January 11, 2006

I'm having the damnedest time making a decent pot of coffee at my house. Sunday morning, I woke up early. Mrs. theskinnyonbenny was out of town, so I had the house to myself. I decided to make a pot of coffee.

My cat won't let me piss or take a bath in peace.

There's this cool new app: Pandora. See here what it's all about.

Garanimals and the Schnit

January 04, 2006

Remember Garanimals? They were a brand of kids clothes from when I was young. Every item had some little animal visible, giving 1970s parents across the nation the misguided notion that their kids would look as cool as those kids wearing genuine izods. Their gimmick was that every piece of clothing with one animal on it would match every other cloth with that same animal. It's a very good idea (I could certainly use such a system as an adult), but one that was doomed by stretchy cheap polyester as the material of choice.

Christmas Cards

There are some pretty funny images here, all having to do with holiday greetings.

Christmas Newsletters

December 22, 2005

All About the DVR

December 19, 2005

It makes it all the more annoying that the cable box DVR just chose not to record The Apprentice finale last week.

Random Notes V

December 12, 2005

Some notes on things that weren't good enough to merit their own post: fake rich people, a food note, a musical endeavor, and a wild story from the news.

Management Seminar

December 08, 2005

Any time I start dreaming about work, I know that it's time for a vacation. I suppose I should be worried when updating content for this site becomes a subject of one of my dreams. Actually, one recent dream included both.

A Long LSU Sports Post

December 07, 2005

The title of this isn't wrong. I have opinions on all of the major sport coaches at LSU.

Chicken Feet

How much do you want to know about how to eat chicken feet?

A Filthy Animal

December 02, 2005

When we first got Lili as a new dog, one of the cats happened to catch and kill a mouse. He left the dead mouse in Lili's bed. Generous gift, or hate crime? It's hard to tell. A more serious crime has been repeated the last two days, but this time, the dog is the perpetrator.
