In the last week: Annie’s grandmother died Zoe spent her first period of time apart from Annie (3 days) Burrito (our cat) is not eating, which is how her sister started deteriorating before we had to put her down. I worked a 66-hour work week Our friend Eric was in a motorcycle accident (he’s got [...]
“Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.” – Pablo Picasso
I just found out that Steve Swor, one of my friends from the radio station, killed himself last week. They found him in his truck in a closed garage on May 15th. He was 38 years old. I haven’t seen Steve since Annie and I left Ellensburg a few years ago, but we’d been keeping [...]
I went to see the Royal Tenenbaums last night with Sean and Annie, and I’ve decided that I want a blatant lie carved on my tombstone. Perhaps one of the following: Died defending the planet from an invading race of horrific toad-men. Perhaps the greatest musical genius this world has ever known. He fought the [...]
Some of you may have seen the story in the news about the four firefighters who died fighting a forest fire in Washington. I saw the story on the news this morning, and then opened my email to find this note from the general manager of the radio station Annie and I volunteered at in [...]
Have you ever had something happen to you that people claim happens all the time but you’ve never quite believed? Let me explain, one of my best childhood friends, Stacy, died recently in a horrible car crash caused by a drunk driver. Even though I’ve been to two memorial services for her, I’ve been having [...]

“Shut Up! You’re Dead!” – Annie, yelling at a John Denver commercial
“You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!” – Vizzini, The Princess Bride
:: HATELIFE IS NIGHTMARES :: ugh… I’m not sleeping so well lately. Going to bed too late, getting up too late, eating before I go to bed… I’m sure they’re all contributing to this charming series of nightmares I’ve been having. The other night I woke up and my entire body was sore because I [...]
I’d like a Viking funeral, personally… a big pyre, drinking, fires. All my favorite websites have black backgrounds for a day (geek alert!). Several famous supermodels shave their heads. And, of course, my enemies will be sentenced to the toad bucket. I updated the desktops section again. There’s a ton of good desktops I’d like [...]
Hmm, upon reviewing Scott’s earlier entry (“I am saddened to announce that my cohost here at KMorg, Miles, is deceased… Since he was a philosopher, there will be no funeral services in favor of everyone spending a few minutes contemplating the nature of life and death.”), I find I have a problem with this. MOMENT [...]
Man… all the most twisted ideas I can come up with (without being artificial) appear in the paper eventually. Today there was an Edge about some idiot who got hospitalized for a tarantula bite on his penis, incurred while he was “admittedly under the influence of crystal meth.” compare: isometric.sixsided.org/_/like_you_never_thought_of_it And one of the CoDC [...]
I just got an email from my mom that my Uncle Randy died this morning at 10am. I guess he collapsed yesterday, and when he got to the hospital, they found he’d had a stroke and a brain anurizm. His condition was (is) stable, but they pronounced him brain-dead this morning. I’m not sure how [...]
I’m in a thoughtful mood at the moment. I’ve been reading the fourth book in Whitley Streiber’s Communion series. It’s called The Secret School, and it’s about visitor encounters he had as a nine-year-old. He talks about when he had a severe fever (107 degrees) that lasted several days. Everyone thought he was going to [...]
The Rhythm of Life
Well, Scott and I are off to eastern Wa tomorrow for a wedding and to visit friends and family… Let’s all pray we make it back safely, for as we know, PEOPLE KEEP FUCKING DYING OVER THERE! On the upside, for the three people I know who died this year, three I know were born. [...]
