Happy Birthday Somara!

Posted on September 25, 2006 by Steve

Today is her birthday. Which? That you’ll have to ask her because I enjoy being married to Somara and I would like to die of old age, not a punch to the face for revealing it all over the Internet. … Continue reading →

Happy Belated Birthday to Garrett

Posted on September 23, 2006 by Steve

Better late than never. I have been pretty exhausted lately, especially with my falling asleep shortly after I came home last night. So a belated happy birthday to my friend, former co-worker and former roommate Garrett. According to him during … Continue reading →

Democracy (In)Action or mini C-Span II

Posted on September 20, 2006 by Steve

I received an e-mail from one of my Liberal mailing lists telling me that FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein (one of the two Democrats) would be in Austin to hear public comment on the new ownership rules being reconsidered after the … Continue reading →

What’s with these ugly colors?

Posted on August 31, 2006 by Steve

It does seem to match that Elric cover two stories earlier. Alas, no. Since September is the fifth anniversary of buying my house and the longest physical address I’ve ever lived at, including the 18 years I spent growing up … Continue reading →

Happy Birthday Steve!

Posted on August 26, 2006 by Steve

What a great time to mention his birthday because we had our first phone conversation in three years. We weren’t mad at each other, just some apathy happened before I got married and he was pre-occupied for some time. It’s … Continue reading →

The die is cast for Las Vegas 2006

Posted on August 23, 2006 by Steve

Before I got ill through my misadventures in housesitting (that’s another story down the pipe), the wife and I made the decision to spend another aweseome week in Las Vegas. Last year she couldn’t go to the city’s centenniel celebration … Continue reading →

Pre-Occupied with Somara’s health right now, other things

Posted on August 15, 2006 by Steve

Things have slowed a tad with the site due to Somara’s health. It’s nothing super serious or frightening. She had an allergic reaction to the medication the doctor gave her for the main problem. The allergy is more of a … Continue reading →

My car makes it to 100,000 miles

Posted on August 10, 2006 by Steve

Must be a slow news week to go on about this, but that’s why I bought a Volkswagen 10 years ago (I also didn’t go to GenCon, happening now in India-No-Place). When I was a prisoner of Austin’s mediocre mass … Continue reading →

Check out my friend Lazz’s handiwork!

Posted on August 1, 2006 by Steve

For my birthday, my friend posted a really cool piece of artwork he did to go with my favorite Goldfrapp song lyrics (really my favorite song all year) on his blog!    Check out his other pieces too. Especially if you … Continue reading →

Year of the Homer Incident One

Posted on July 31, 2006 by Steve

Year of the Homer started in earnest yesterday. I was too tired [and sore, read on] to get it all written up. Good thing I waited since someone else who shares my birthday (Jeanne “Marcotte”) inherited the exact same crisis. … Continue reading →

iBook repair, third time’s a charm?

Posted on July 31, 2006 by Steve

Once again, e-Mail contact with me will become sporadic due to my iBook’s video going on the fritz for the third time. What a great birthday present it was too (Saturday afternoon when I woke it up). Now I still … Continue reading →

Happy Birthday Kate, who isn’t Kate Bush

Posted on July 30, 2006 by Steve

Another Leo! Kate (Ludlow) has the great luck to share a birthday with a more famous Kate, Kate Bush. How old is she? You’ll have to ask her too. Once again, it’s not polite to reveal the ages of ladies. … Continue reading →

Year of the Homer, I’m 38 now

Posted on July 29, 2006 by Steve

On this day in 1968, I was born around 330 pm according to my parents. A rather tumultuous year for the US too [see pretty much every annoying TV special about the Sixties]. Now that I am the same age … Continue reading →

Three Years and Counting

Posted on July 27, 2006 by Steve

On this day, Somara and I were married at the Mirage in Las Vegas.    Nothing too special this year. She’s making a fancy dinner for us to save money since we’re hoping to swing a trip to Las Vegas … Continue reading →

Happy Birthday Christina!

Posted on July 27, 2006 by Steve

My friend in Hawaii (living the dream!) is celebrating her birthday. It is never polite to ask [nor post] a lady’s age so you’ll have to ask her yourself if you want to know. Christina is a fellow Leo yet … Continue reading →
