In my head: “(I Just) Died in Your Arms” – Cutting Crew

You know what I want?  I want George Michael to put out an album where he sings all of the James Bond theme songs.  That would be bad ass.  It has absolutely nothing to do with anything else I’m thinking about, or planning on writing about, but it would still be bad ass. I’ve been reading a lot more lately.  Okay, that’s a lie.  I’ve been listening to a lot…

In my head: “The Downeaster ‘Alexa'” – Billy Joel

As expected, it was a hell of a weekend.  Well, okay, maybe not a hell of a weekend, but it was quite nice. Saturday was spent doing not much of anything other than scanning in all of my old photo albums.  I made good progress, getting through almost 3 out of 3.  I’d say that I probably have another 10 pages to go in the 3rd album, but that shouldn’t…

In my head: The Motherf**king Pterodactyl

Day 1 in my quest to find a new, cheap dive bar has not met with success.

Remember me?

Ninety-nine cents. It was on sale you see. A quart of Gatorade for ninety-nine cents. And it was my meal for the day.

The Limit

The sun is high in the sky, it’s hot, and the mosquitoes are out in force; another wonderful day in the Marine Corps. It was only four hours ago that the two-ton trucks brought us here from the naval center, dropping us off in the middle of nowhere. We staged our gear at a back-woods community center, got our instructions for the day, and set off on this little nature…

Fur and Bones

Shadow was the best cat in the world. Most people say that about their cats, but in this case it’s the truth. I’ve had other cats, and none of them compared. Even the ones I raised from kittens, as I did with him.
