So we have former governor Ryan in prison, ex-governor Blagojevich probably heading there, a Senator (Burris) who probably bought the seat, a candidate who wins the lieutenant governor primary for the Democrats (but needs to quit the race after troubling…

On January 25th, at about quarter to nine in the morning, while driving to work, I was hit by a car that careened out of control. I was heading south, she was heading north, and she lost control of her car and it veered across the lanes at an intersecti…

I can't believe Brendoman is still hosting this thing. I have neglected it for oh-so-long. Life has been so busy in the last couple of years that blogging couldn't have been further from my mind.
I previously mentioned here that in June of 2007, Cit…

Yesterday around 3:30, I heard on the radio that police activity was reported at Northern Illinois University. NIU's website reported a possible gunman. At 3:55, I saw the update online that a shooting was confirmed. As an NIU graduate, the confirmati…

Oh my, I still have a blog?
I was pretty much forced to end my blogging when my employer decided to block this website. I tried to transfer my blog to blogspot, and they blocked that too. And the last thing I ever wanted to do when I got home was lo…

I apologize for the infrequent posts here; I still update at my Blogger account.
Mostly I'm continuing my Album of the Day series, in which I write about albums I've listened to that were referred to me by others. I have months worth of albums left.

The other day I told Melanie that her brain is like a Brawny paper towel, and mine is more like the other leading brand. She remembers so many things, like important dates, my pants' size, pizza toppings I like, who starred in what movie. I, on the other…

As I said before, we recently painted our new basement, and bought sofas from Ikea: a sofa bed and a love seat.
This is how the stairway going down now looks:
This is the new view from the stairs (the window still has some work to be done, thou…

No photos for this phase yet, unfortunately. Sunday afternoon and evening we prepped the walls for the primer. First I tried to use a Shop Vac to get the drywall dust off the walls, but it didn't seem to do much good. So we dampened some rags and wash…

Since work was fairly slow this morning, I spent a little time considering what I would put on a top ten of 2005 list. First, I had to consider what categories belonged. Being like Rob Gordon from High Fidelity, I believe my list must include books, fi…

Well, really only one door and some trim.

Here we have our basement after the drywall has been put up, taped, mudded and sanded. I tried to take photos from the same place for each phase.
This is a view of the window from the doorway to the laundry area.
This is the view from the bott…

This was the corner with the window.

I told you before that we had been unable to live in our house for a while due to some construction. Well, I was just able to upload the photos to our computer. I'll show you a few pics of what it used to look like.
This is the far end of the basem…

I woke up this morning around 6, and felt like the world was spinning. I shut my eyes, and tried to fall back asleep. Not so easy when it feels like you're on a giant carousel. But I did. I woke up again around 7 to get ready for work. I got up and…

So Chevy has this amazing new tagline in their ads: The price on our tag is the price you pay. Not a penny more.
What a fantastic concept. Imagine our world and the way shopping would be if more retail establishments adopted this method of pricing!…

I don't know if I'm reading this right, but looking at my blog stats, it seems that I usually get anywhere from 10 to 100 hits per day. I can't believe I get that many, considering I haven't really let many of my friends and family know that I have this…

Yesterday I made a comment and said "chuckle hysterically." After thinking about it, I realized that you cannot, in fact, chuckle hysterically. I believe the very nature of the chuckle is that it is a more reserved expression of mirth. It may even be…

It has been far too easy lately to be negative. With everything going on in our lives, I keep wanting to find what is going wrong and focus on it. But Melanie recently posted on a message board a new thread about being thankful. And I didn't want to w…
