Busy Neighborhood
So I'm getting ready for volleyball tonight when I catch a faint glimpse of blue lights out the window. I walk to the window and the police have both ends of the road blocked off. I go looking for kneepads, but they aren't anywhere in the apartment, so I go out to check the car. There are four cops at the end of my driveway. "How's it going?" I ( Read more... ) -
Addendum
Found my tools. They were in the car. Apparently I left them there after the flat tire. So I have my tools. But unnoticed was a giant container of pennies stolen by the thief. They might pay for a crack rock, but probably not.
I might get some of money back, since all of the Wii stuff was purchased within 90 days, but I'm not holding my ( Read more... ) -
Capper to a Great Week
Came home last night and the front door wouldn't open... because the chain was on the latch. I think you can guess where this is going. Because the door mechanism is substandard, I was able to remove the chain from the latch from the outside and gain access to my apartment. The place had been tossed. Stolen: laptop, GBA, Wii (plus all games and ( Read more... ) -
Sly And The Kidney Stone
I went to the urologist, who confirmed that I have a 5 mm stone in my left kidney. HOWEVER, the stone is not responsible for the pain I keep whining about, because it's not affecting the function of the kidney nor is the kidney enlarged. It's just a muscle strain, and finding the stone was orthogonal. It's small enough that he's willing to let ( Read more... ) -
Papa Was A Kidney Stone
I found out today that I have a kidney stone. This is good news, as it means I am due for random, short bursts of excruciating pain, rather than something worse, like renal failure or kidney cancer. I will find out on Friday how big it is and what course of action will be taken. Given the length of time that I had a dull pain in the area, I am ( Read more... ) -

Here's All You Need To Know About The State Of The GOP
"When members of the Conservative Working Group held their weekly strategy meeting on the Hill on Tuesday morning, they were joined by none other than Joe "the Plumber" Wurzelbacher, who had come to offer his thoughts on the economic recovery bill."

At The Dentist
I went to the dentist today and was filled with rage. It had nothing to do with my teeth.
I walked into the dentist's office, and there was a baby lying in the middle of the floor. A quick glance revealed a woman there with her son, and since the baby was ten feet away, I immediately discerned that this was the kind of woman who, having entered ( Read more... ) -
The Game Room
In January, we moved into a new building that came complete with all of the bells and whistles that a new office building comes along with. On our floor there is a game room. It consists of a full kitchen (well, minus the stove), six big screen televisions, two Wiis, a ping-pong table, a foosball table, a pool table, a Golden Tee machine, and an ( Read more... )
