I’ve Been Shaking From Making An Awful Decision

Tuesday, January 4, 2005

Last month we obtained the best PS2 game ever made (Katamari Damacy) but I am physically unable to play it. At least three times now I’ve had to pause from game play to, get this, vomit. The game freaking makes me motion sick. So while I love it dearly, it’s just not worth the [...]

Parliament Is An Anagram Of Partial Men

Tuesday, January 4, 2005

After the little man came home from school yesterday he settled in next to me, at one of the computers, and started poking around the pbskids site.

I was minding my own business on my machine, when all of a sudden I hear Grover’s voice exclaiming “this looks very funky”. It was a little [...]

Feels Like My Head Is Spinning Round And Round

Monday, January 3, 2005

I feel like our home has been enveloped by some sort of evil forcefield, one that allows cranky energies to seep in, but doesn’t let them out. Like that breathable meshy plastic wrap you sometimes see on produce. So the crankiness continues to whirl about the house, feeding off of us and growing synergistically [...]

And You Can Dance For Inspiration

Sunday, January 2, 2005

Tomorrow morning school resumes for the little man. The past couple of weeks we’ve been in freefall, without a routine to anchor us. There have been periods of relentless activity followed by listless days of recuperation…all of it cut through with a few intensely cranky moments, with getting on each other’s nerves to varying [...]

Sunday, January 2, 2005

The Top Ten 01: “Shaun of the Dead” (which led to my discovery of and obsession with the BBC series, “Spaced“) 02: “Goodbye Lenin” (I so need to own this) 03: “Return of the King” extended edition (I still need to get [...]

Art Is Nothing More Than Edited Creativity

Sunday, January 2, 2005

I’ve always been an avid reader, mainly of fiction, but now that I’ve made a go at writing my own novel I’ve come to appreciate the medium even more. Note: several of the below titles didn’t come out in 2004, but I read them in 2004.
Fiction: 01: “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay” [...]

Make Up The Breakdown

Sunday, January 2, 2005

Being the fickle creature that I am, these lists are hard to compile, especially without editing afterwards. And rarely do I have the chance to hear a tenth of what I intend to. But I had better get on with it.
01: Arcade Fire - Funeral 02: Mirah - C’mon Miracle 03: Elliott Smith [...]

In A Field Of Paratypical Thingummies

Saturday, January 1, 2005

Hopefully our lackluster start to 2005 isn’t a sign of things to come. Last night our dinner guests departed by 10pm. All was quiet in the household by 11pm. And this morning the three of us woke up feeling under the weather. Woooooooo, par-tay. It’s been a quiet, cranky kind of day. The husband [...]
