Ramblings of Silver Blue

Went and took about 300 photos tonight trying to get dusk shots right and neon. Ate at the Red Dog this evening. Is it just me, or is one member of our dining group getting more and more bizarre? Final thought after the jump. You were warned.

For whatever reason we had a fire alarm pulled, at least it was good weather for it. Otherwise, I would have had to go upside someone’s head. Like the time someone pulled it and it was storming outside. Everyone grabbed what was important. Of course, my camera had to go with me. LOL. Still trying [...]

who actually is going to get a nickname now: CoffeeMate. LOL. It was great spending a couple minutes during a fire drill today chatting about my old stomping grounds up in Williamsburg. Welcome aboard!

Yesterday had proved itself to be quite burdensome, as the warehouse at work has changed its rules once again without informing ANYONE, and so I had 94 boxes of computers to unload and bring in the building. If it hadn’t been for FourName, my coworker, I’d really have been up the creek. O when the [...]

If you’re like most people I’ve talked to, you don’t give a chocolate bar that Britney Spears has shaved her head. Why is this news? I fail to see how this effects (or even affects) the lives of anyone. The only thing I ask is that someone stage an intervention on that heffer before a [...]

Happy President’s Day, everyone. Mondays bring new adventures, right? RIGHT? Ok, so I got up this morning, showered, shaved, brushed my teeth, and decided I was bored with my goatee. So, now I have a cold chin. Not sure if I like myself without it yet, so we’ll have to wait to see if it [...]

Who says nuns don’t know how to have fun?

The day is done, and for that I am grateful. Church was good today — it being Transfiguration Sunday and everything. There was an anointing at the end of service which I’m not sure the congregation knew how to take. It was good, however, and what I think a number of us needed. Afterwards, it [...]

“Don’t let someone be your priority while you are merely their option.”

My sinuses have decided they don’t like this cold weather. When I blow my nose… well, just…. EWWW. But other than that, life’s good. Not sure what’s going on today… but I hope it will allow me a little more downtime. You know how I talk about, from time to time, about how ghosts of [...]

Just don’t tell Roxette Bunny™ !!!!

Ev’ning. Daily roundup: (1) Bought the field guide for my camera (I think there’s a few things wrong in the book, but I’ll have to look a little more. I know there’s at least 2 diagrams that are incorrect. (2) If today had been my first time using Auto Bell to detail my car, it [...]

Well, where did the last 18 hours go? Tink got sick at work (the whole Linda Blair thing, only without the skin discolourations and obvious obscene Crucifix references), so since we carpooled we left early. She came home, did the projectile thing again, ate some crackers with a bit of chicken soup, and collapsed on [...]

Apologies to Bonecollector, when the other night I talked about who was allowed “behind the velvet rope” and the fact that I didn’t mention her. She got her feelings hurt, and I must apologize. It was an unintended oversight.

Hey y’all. Brrr. It’s 19. Time for an extra strong cuppa to help get the engine going. You know what’s better than cake to a fat kid? Friday to me! And it’s Friday BABY! I still think they should do something about this five days on, two days off thing. The entire premise just seems [...]

Greetings faithful Readers of the Ramblings. This evening’s edition is brought to you by the number 3, and the letters Q and J. What a weird day it has been. A smattering of viruii, a STUPID Microsoft Update that wouldn’t install right on several machines, and the rumour mill in full operation. Overall, I’m in [...]

Meanwhile, I saw the saddest Valentine’s Day sight ever- ‘now taking Valentine’s reservations’ on a White Castle sign in Chicago. I don’t even know where to begin-are they that poor, are the men that cheap, or is the White Castle the only local five star, AAA diamond, James Beard-honored establishment? Makes you wonder about the [...]

My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife: Marrying you screwed up my life. I see your face when I am dreaming. That’s why I always wake up screaming. Kind, intelligent, loving and hot; This describes everything you are not. Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss, But I only slept with you ’cause I [...]

Let’s start with the canine roundup: No word from Bonecollector how her pup’s tests have turned out regarding a problem she was having with her nose. Hope all is well there. Banshee, one of Moonglow’s pups, is home from her THIRD surgery which hopefully closed an incision properly and therefor she can now heal and [...]

Choir and the reception ran over, so instead of taking more time to blog, I’m going to bed. Here’s the final thought:

Pocket Taser Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Taser for their anniversary (supposedly) submitted this: Last weekend I saw something at Larry’s Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 22nd anniversary and I was looking for a little something [...]
