So I Did

As I Seriously . . .

. . . think about driving to Waco for Baylor/Kansas on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

Country Grammer

So I'm reading about the exploding population in northern Tarrant County and come across this sentence: A significant number of houses is also being built in southwest Fort Worth, as well as in the central city, including in and around downtown. I feel like an idiot. It seems like that should be "are" but I think it has something to do with a prepositional phrase. But I have no idea. I'm spending the rest of the night diagramming sentences while smoking marihoochie and playing bongo drums.

Geek Talk

I abandon Microsoft's IE browser a few months ago and started using Firefox. I love it. You can get it here for free.

Me Loves Me Some Kate Hudson

Smells Like

If you ever wanted to see Nirvana's Kurt Cobain smash someone over the head with a guitar and then get his arse kicked, check out this. (The good stuff on the youtube.com clip comes at the 3:00 minute mark.) It occurred in Deep Ellum 15 years ago.

"She just didn't understand me."

Thank you. I'll be here all week. Edit: And I'm talking about his big brain, not his speech. Although an explanation can truly ruin the timing of a joke.

Riding Dirty

What's up with the crappy "paving" job done on some of the streets in Decatur? This street (right off the courthouse square) is two weeks post having it done and it creates more dust than a back road in Cottondale.

Dog Pile

Now the relatively famous "Pink Dome" political blog in Austin has jumped on the "AE" controvery.

Decatur Gang Land

I can never really picture gangs at Decatur High School. Maybe a West Side Story kind of gang, but not gangsta gangs. (Blurb from Update.)

Hey Batttttaaaaa

I never watch baseball but I finally get interested in the 7th inning of a championship series. It's 10:36 and I'm dialed in to Mets/Cardinals. But I can't concentrate due to the music being played over the Shea Stadium public address system. I just heard Naughty By Nature's "O.P.P."

Hey, Now......Uh.....(Tapping Brakes).... Uh

I Don't Know

I Keep Telling You . . .

. . . the Republicans govern by the Politics of Fear. And now they are at it again.

Friday Night Lights

The TV show by that name looks pretty good (I've spent a few minutes with it), but I'm afraid it won't be around for long. The households in DFW viewing it and its competition from Tuesday: Friday Night Lights: 73,700 homes Dancing with the Stars: 307,020 homes NCIS: 176,120 homes Gilmore Girls: 85,680 homes Source.

Oh, My

The couple on the left were featured in a couple of stories last year (when this photo was taken) after they decided to stick it out in post-Katrina New Orleans. Their relationship did not turn out very well.

Unfortunate

Circa 1960 television commercial.
