Who the hell makes mashed potatoes without butter? That's no different from making them without potatoes!

It rained on Saturday. Or, rather, it rained Saturday. I woke up at seven, and it had been raining for some time. I went out to breakfast with mom, got back at noon- still raining. I went out to see Ed- still raining. We left to go get food, and, yep, still raining. I came home at 3 am- it had finally stopped, but damn, were the roads wet ( Read more... )

The internet life I have lead has been an odd one. ( Read more... )

One of the highest compliments I can give you is "You've given me much to think about." It's also probably the most common compliment I give. Odds are, if you're reading this, you have, intentionally or otherwise, given me much to think about (it's not always profound; a discussion on the weather can lead to surprising insights if you're not ( Read more... )

So here's my latest beef: people who refuse to use their real names. Or, rather, their first names. Alternate spellings may annoy the fuck out of me, but those people have nothing on these- you were given your name for a reason! And if that weren't bad enough, some of you insist on putting your first initial before it- W. David Heger, J. ( Read more... )
