Why get up and go downtown at stupidly early hours of the morning on a day I don’t have to work? To see the penguin, of course! It’s too bad this trip was to say goodbye to Endeavor. I may have more to say about the shuttle later, but for now, it’s enough to say, […]
I can has all the root beer? (Taken outside River City Brewing, which does have really good root beer. And also some excellent microbrews, I’m told.)
It’s always a bit sad for me when I discover that an alum of my beloved alma mater has passed on. It is doubly sad when the death in question is connected with the horrible events in Benghazi on Tuesday. The Ambassador to Libya was J. Christopher Stevens, Cal ’82. He majored in history, the […]
Yep, another fanzine. You can get it here: Rhyme & Paradox #1½ [PDF] Or if you want to read past issues, you can go here: Rhyme & Paradox main page My thanks, as always, to Bill Burns, for hosting.
Here’s a teaser of the cover: The photo is credit Patrice Dufour, and can be found here on stock.xchng, a nifty free for non-commercial projects stock photo site. When I saw this one, I knew it would be perfect for this issue of Rhyme. Now to get the rest of the layout done.
So, we’re at my uncle’s house, passing around my welder’s goggles I bought to keep my eyes protected during the height of the eclipse. It wasn’t my turn, so I turn around, away from the sun, and suddenly gawp. “Look at the rocks!” Here’s what they looked like — click through, it’s definitely more obvious […]
There will be time, there will be time To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet; There will be time to murder and create […] And time yet for a hundred indecisions And for a hundred visions and revisions Before the taking of a toast and tea. (And this is here only […]
Something showed up in the mail today. It is a totally awesome hat. It keeps my head warm. It is in my favorite color. It slouches quite admirably. It has a sweet band design. And it was made by the completely amazing , whom I heart so very much and wish I lived much closer […]
Since it’s my car, it’s a fracking pain in the rear. Yeah, some $#*(&(*#$&@ went and spraypainted my car. There’s also a streak of orange down the passenger’s side, and some lovely green on the driver’s side, but the headlights are the worst victim, and the most frustrating part of the whole thing. That said…it’s […]
It’s a sweet gesture, Sobe Bottle, and I appreciate it, but…I think the relatives would be a bit freaked out by the idea of my marrying a drink beverage bottle.
So every once in a while, I get a bug in my head about reading the labels on things and seeing just what the companies that make various processed food items think is a reasonable serving size. Tonight, I decided to try it with the ranch dressing packets. I glanced at the box: Serving Size […]
It’s Girl Scout cookie time. But Ebony’s already laid claim to hers — not because she likes cookies, but she likes the height they afford her. Or well, maybe you have a better caption. Let’s hear it.
So, you all saw the picture of the Capitol Building at one end of Capitol Mall. You may have asked yourself — what’s on the other end? This. To be specific, this is the Tower Bridge, crossing the Sacramento River between the City of Sacramento and West Sacramento. It’s a drawbridge — it raises up, […]
