My midnight dough run to Stop & Shop…
It is finished.
I should have spent Sunday learning how to make dough, but it is finished. The crust is too hard for my tastes, but one Stromb - Calz - Strombfuckinzone is cooked and cooling, the other is in the oven. The first one didn’t burst (though one side is distinctively bulged out), but I think the 2nd one will fare even better (very high ( Read more... ) -
A sad yeasty death (or rather, yeastless death)
Trying to make Calzones - or Stromboli's or whatever...
My dough keeps dying and my kitchen looks like an Anthrax bomb went off in it… flour everywhere.
You’d think the hobbits would be bothered to come up from the basement and help, but they keep muttering about some silly Yule tradition - “Festivus” they keep calling it - something about the airing ( Read more... ) -
Night Terrors
I wrote this at about 5:30 on Sunday morning:
It's 5:30 am and I just finished moving around my apartment reacquainting myself with everything, touching things, mundane things like my fridge, kitchen table and computer monitor, making sure it still there and is real and it isn't Christmas.
This was so fucked up….I’m still shaking my head at it… It ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Here's the Skinny...
Yes. On December 26th 1982 on my birthday at the end of my street at the Elm St pier. I was drunk, the water was icey, I could have drowned. It was pretty stupid. Ahhh but life was fun back then.... -
The Farce of 'Expelled'
Ben Stein’s “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed” opens in theaters nationwide tomorrow. If you do not know about it, it is a ‘documentary’ a-La-Michael Moore (with Stein in the Moore role) that purports to expose a conspiracy by ‘Big Science’ to repress Intelligent Design creationism. In short, the film’s most strident and obnoxious point is to ( Read more... ) -
My how the righteous are stupid...
I read THIS over at Pharyngula today.
So, picking up my poison pen, and pasting on my best Keith Olberman face, I wrote this:
Representative Davis,
I am not a resident of Chicago, nor of the good state of Illinois. However as an American and an Atheist, I am compelled to inform you of my opinion regarding your appalling behavior.
I would like to ( Read more... ) -
Observable reality and other myths
I know some of my friends out there are creationists, and while I respect their beliefs, I would beg and plead with them to scrutinize and study very closely those whom they follow. And know them for what they are. I can no longer hold my tongue regarding the dishonesty of the leaders of the Creationist/Intelligent Design Movement.

From Post Modernism to the Third World...
This is from an email thread I participated in a few weeks ago. Reposting it here to try to idly scare up some discussion. We started out talking about how dismal customer service is in the US these days, and that led to a discussion about the generally poor state of education and seemingly growing attitude that education is unimportant in the US:
