For days now, I’ve been planning my next major rant. I haven’t actually BEEN ranting before now, for the simple reason that it’s the Christmas season and I have a sort of tendency to become disgustingly good natured during this time of year. I have an image to maintain, dammit, and you, my little snarklings, have no interest in reading a bunch of ( Read more... )

So, I turned on my G-mail this morning and started perusing the headlines that crop up at the top of the page…because that’s sometimes a nice shortcut to find some articles you might not otherwise find from some news sources you might not otherwise look into. And every now and again, a news headline jumps at you and says something really ( Read more... )

The sky turns dark, and the moon glows black as sackcloth. The rivers run with the blood of the innocents and the unborn. The oceans boil as a voice rips the sky like a sheet, growling words that will lay my soul to ruin. Somewhere, obviously, two dudes just married each other ( Read more... )

So, when I was driving to work this morning, they had already announced that Bush was going to make a speech at 1 this afternoon reagarding the overwhelming landslide of seats that shifted last night in favour of the 'Rats. My question is this: is anybody other than me honestly surprised he didn't declare a state of Martial Law, shouting the words ( Read more... )

I’m not going to do the obvious and say that Halloween was awesome, then crank out a thousand words about HOW Halloween was awesome. For it is the Morning After and I am beat like a drum ( Read more... )

So, driving home from work yesterday felt, to me, like the same kind of fun as getting punched in the dick by Evander Holyfield…repeatedly. Before I get down to the nitty and the gritty of this past Saturday’s quite successful Zombie Walk, let me take a moment to rant very briefly on high-volume traffic and gridlock ( Read more... )

I promised public opinions about the move of Sacrosanct to Rocks. And, as promised, I will deliver them. I’ve been a bit backed up with other things. Editing other peoples’ work, editing a bit of my own, reading and generally not doing much writing of the rant/editorial variety. I’m sure you understand ( Read more... )

Well, ladies and gentlemen. Most of you in the approximate region of Virginia-which is to say most of you-notice and know that today marks day five of nearly continuous rain here in the pastoral majesty of Our Fair Commonwealth. Thirty-Five to go, folks! We’re one-eighth of the way! Surely that must warrant the odd ‘Huzzah’ from a few of my ( Read more... )

For those of you just tuning in, your favourite Electric Bastard had a little birthday this past weekend. On Saturday, August the 19th I turned 30. I know…big one, right? Double-digits. So, I went back and looked at last year's birthday rant (the Disney World one, not the Jen Daicy one) and it was good. But now I have to ask myself where I've ( Read more... )

So. The Illinois Trip, huh? I imagine a few of you to whom I may have mentioned this little outing are wondering how it went. A few more of you also know that I happen to be a natural weirdness magnet, and may be thinking that there’s no way I could drive nearly 2,000 miles without running over a Jackelope, discovering a lost civilization and ( Read more... )
