Ramblings of Silver Blue

So if you’re easily offended, don’t go past the jump.

Well, from what I could see as I flipped through the final edits to the book last night, it looks like I wans’t too bad of a writer. LOL. Wnet to Picture Lady & Household Name’s afterwards and loaded their iPod and had some delicious beef roast. It’s funny …. we started talking about various [...]

An old prospector walked his tired old mule into this western town one day. He’d been out in the desert for about six months without a drop of whiskey. He walked up to the first saloon he came to and tied his old mule to the hitch rail . As he stood there brushing some [...]

Well, boys and girls, fir the first time since 2004, my hair is actually growing out. Yep, I’m non-spikey. Just a decision I made (plus the fact it’s been SO COLD). We’ll see how long it lasts. I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it…I’m about to lose control and I think I like [...]

…when all is said and done. I’m working on another themed CD, and the “Birds of Passage” bootleg remix of this ABBA track is looking like it’s the lead off single. In other news, Tink asked why The Bunny hasn’t posted in a while, and low and behold, yesterday, she did a mega post. She [...]

Well, spammers have been busy overnight. Between the blogs I host there’ve been more than 1,000 additional pieces of spam blocked. I hate automation sometimes (well, on the spammer’s behalf, obviously not on my spam trap’s behalf). Headache is still here (why do I feel like someone’s hit me on the back of the head [...]

How do I know? Over 1,000 pieces of spam comments today. Thanks to Akismet, they’ve all been flagged, and now deleted. Joy of joys. I get to have yet another MRI. I hate those things worse than impending death. Yes, boys and girls, to me, hell is a giant MRI machine.

Top o’the morning to y’all. (Now if THAT isn’t a collision of lives and accents, nuthin’ is!) Had the first decent amount of rest in about two weeks last night. I think I slept well and rested for about 4 hours. A marked improvement from going to bed, sleeping for 10 hours, and getting up [...]

Go ahead. Ask questions. Leave them in the comments section and I’ll answer them as honestly as I can. Seems that this is a game making its rounds around the blogsphere. Besides, sometimes confession can be good for the soul.

Not much to say. No snow from the winter storm; not sure if I’m glad or not. Headache is actually much worse today, but have a zillion things to do at work, so must go in. Seems like life never changes; in some ways that’s strangely comforting. Have a great morning, y’all.

Poor Bone Collector was down with a migraine today — I was concerned because she didn’t show for church and hasn’t updated in a couple days. I called her after service today just to make sure she was okay. I’m down in the den watching the Steak Cook-off on FoodTV. There was an awesome comment [...]

No morning cawfee this morning either, even though there actually was coffee in the house, brewed, and enjoyed by Tink and myself. I’m trying to think of where to begin this post — it’s difficult for me, as it’s probably one of the most personal ones I’ve considered writing without deleting in the history of [...]

It felt weird not posting first thing in the morning, but I knew better than to let forth what had been building up under the surface. I still have a splitting headache, and have been x-rayed so much that my head should be glowing in the dark. I find out Tuesday what the results are.

…but honestly, do you think that coming in to my office saying “I’m worried about you and the amount of weight you’ve put on. You really need to lose weight….” when I’ve actually not gained a pound does my self-esteem any good? Especially since I suffered from a eating disorder when I was in high [...]

I’ve decided to drop the dates from the title line — I’d only put them there so if you did a trackback it was easier for you to see and such. Going back and looking at it now, it was just redundant, so… out it goes. Wow! It’s actually a little warmer this morning than [...]

Thanks to Moonglow for sharing this!

Can you name the songs these lyrics come from without Googling? Leave your best guesses in the comments. 1. In the absence of security, I made my way into the night… 2. Put the needle on the record when the song beats go like this… 3. Rythmic, systemic and world control; magnetic, genetic, dement your [...]

I’m amazed at how much I still remember! You paid attention during 91% of high school! 85-100% You must be an autodidact, because American high schools don’t get scores that high! Good show, old chap! Do you deserve your high school diploma?Create a Quiz

Yeah, I know, it’s a bit late, but I didn’t get my java when I got up this morning. Acid reflux kept me awake most of the night. Lots of stuff going on today, from meetings, to presentations, to rubber chicken (to be eaten, not to be given as a gag gift). There are bills [...]

Too tired to post much. “Is it too much to ask you to support me in my decision?” is a question that I honestly can’t answer right now. I don’t know how I feel anymore. Five years ago, no problem. I would have stood behind you like those moonbats stand behind Dubya. I’m older now, [...]
