It’s 37 degrees outside and has been raining all day.
We’d planned to go see the Arianna Huffington talk tonight, but it’s so crudy I don’t want to leave the house.
I could hope that it clears up, but it looks like we’re going to have crappy whether when we drive to Parkersburg tomorrow to visit [...]
Happy Leap Day!
And Happy Birthday to everyone who hasn’t had a birthday in four years!
And here’s the proof:

Today’s deaths:
William F Buckley Jr.
But of local interest, Myron Cope has died at the age of 72.
I may not have liked his voice but I liked him for what he did. And fans for tonight’s Pitt game are requested to bring Terrible Towels to remember Cope.
Think Geek has just added some Princess Bride t-shirts.
WANT WANT WANT!
Plus, one of my favorites is still available. If only I had an office mate…
The first speaker for WVU’s Festival of Ideas has been posted.
Arianna Huffington will speak this Friday at the Mountainlair at 7:30PM. She spoke here several years ago (you’ll have to search, since I wasn’t using blogging software at that point, so didn’t have permalinks) for the same series, and I thoroughly enjoyed her talk. [...]
Every couple years I stumble back upon Rum & Monkey’s. While there I always take the horrible affliction test.
As usual, I’m Rabies.
Which Horrible Affliction are you?A Rum and Monkey disease.
Happy Tuesday to you!
ADDENDUM the First:
More tests under the cut

We’ve got tickets for African Footprint tonight.
It looks excellent, so I’m hoping we enjoy it as much as we liked Stomp (a show to which it has been compared.)
Now you know one of the best things about living in Morgantown–although it’s still a relatively small town, we get cool stuff because of the University.
Next [...]
Ralph Nader has now entered the 2008 presidential race
Sorry. Nothing for you today but a book review over on the book blog.
Went to have a very belated Chinese New Year’s celebration with our friends Kim & Mike (their baby has been sick, so they wanted to err on the side of caution.) And the restaurant from which we wanted to order was (for [...]
logy \LOH-ghee\ adjective
: marked by sluggishness and lack of vitality : groggy
Yeah, that’s about right for the past three days…
I know that there’s a lot to be angry about these days, and other people are ranting about those important things so I don’t have to. But today’s news got me stark ranting raging pissed off.
And that’s the bullshit about John McCain’s friendship with a woman.
When I initially heard the story, I thought the [...]
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIN!
And just for your birthday–here’s a cat picture!
If you like, I can sing too!
Just one of those days.
I’m going to go eat some more double chocolate cookies and curl up with the second Repairman Jack novel.
Meanwhile, if you’re bored, you can go read some book reviews or read a book yourself. I’ve got lots of recommendations…
Janiece’s post got me searching for a group I vaguely remembered hearing about several years ago, the Patriot Guard Riders.
They exist to circle around funerals and other events where Jackasses like the Westboro Baptist Church and any other group that seeks to disrupt a military or other funeral.
As much as it depresses me that [...]
The only mystery in this book, is why I bothered to read it all the way through.
Yes, it’s one of my very rare bad reviews. I’m not sure that my full level of annoyance shines through, however. I mean, a couple chapters in I was telling Michael I just wanted to finish it so I [...]
Yeah, you’re thinking, “hasn’t Netscape been dead for years?”
Perhaps, but now it’s official.
And that is your useless fact of the day.
