An Imminent Return

It should be noted that Science Fiction Twin, without the domain because I was too lazy to work on that, will be coming back. I'll still write about the usual stuff: kids, wife, bikes, etc. However, this stupid blog will now also be my place to document my slow discovery, admission and treatment with mental illness--primarily anxiety and depression but also the possibility that I have bipolar disorder. We'll find out.

Sure, it's cliched but at least it's better than getting drunk and starting a fight with a group of lawn gnomes.

Don't get too excited. I'm too lazy to design this page. Templates all the way!

How Long???

I need to start writing again. I'm just sayin'.

An Actual Update

Don't get excited. I made a video.

Justifying My Domain Registration

Gotta use the website periodically.



Merry Christmas to all the drunkards, junkies, half-wits, freaks, morons, outsiders and hobos.

Happy Birthday

For little Gert. Who's not so little anymore. She's seven today.

There are few songs that make me think of Gert more than this. It's an awful video, but every time I hear it I get nostalgic and all teary.

The Stephen Malkmus School of Dance

And I was there.

Yes, you too can dance like Stephen Malkmus. Learn the pigeon toe jump! The stiff-legged wobble! The arm twitch! The backwards wiggle-walk! The off-rhythm, arms-in-the-air-but-still-kind-of-care! The droop-armed run in place! The squat and nod! And, for a limited time, the down-low/up-high hand wipe.

(Side note: great show. Loud, rocking and weird.)

On the Road Again

Finally got to edit some of the video from our summer vacation. Will make others soon. Here's a montage (yes montage, I like them) of us traveling from home to the cabin.
