At some point in the past couple of days my WordPress crapped the f- out.  I first noticed yesterday morning that my blog “aggregation” on the FT homepage was broken for my blog.  Stupid MagpieRSS and it’s lame, uninformative errors.  So maybe there was a problem with the RSS feeds….I had just added a couple [...]

Can someone explain why, in mid-Michigan, I’m pulling in “Moody Broadcast Network “97.9 WGNR out of Indianapolis, 97.9 “fm98″ WJLB out of Detroit, but can’t freakin’ get 97.9 WGRD out of Grand Rapids like I used to?  I admit, I’ve become a fan of the Free Beer and Hot Wings morning show, and up until [...]

Yes, you, MI-ABE2701. Thank you for parking like a jackass. The best part is that it was too narrow (well probably not technically, but enough that it would be very uncomfortable) to squeeze between the cars. So it would have been a pain in the ass for the driver to get out of his own [...]

I finally got around to uploading the pics from the house, without all of the previous owners’ clutter.  Enjoy!  This was the night that we pulled 185 nails and screws out of the walls.  Some of the buggers left some nice sized holes we had to patch, too.  As we get moved in some more, [...]

Lansing State Journal: Advocates: Kellogg’s new nutrition standards are gr-r-reat Ironically, I just bought Froot Loops yesterday. Hmmmm. I liked this, too: The company also plans to make immediate changes to its Web sites for children, including adding automatic screen time limits and healthy lifestyle and nutrition messaging. It also said it will limit depictions [...]

It’s been an awful long time since I’ve written anything….I need to get back on this horse! It seems like the last month or so everything has just been crazy busy. That’s still no excuse, but so it goes. The big news lately is that JEN AND I ARE FINALLY HOMEOWNERS!! Yes, we just closed [...]

Happy pre-Memorial Day Friday! To kick things off, I must vent. I am a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan. I’ll admit to zealotry; they are hands down the best rock group ever. I have to justify the Machina album somehow, right? Some time ago I heard that they were getting together (again) and we going to [...]

It’s been awhile since I’ve last posted….the last couple weeks have been busy, etc., etc. I had a post started about the whole house-buying thing, but well, let’s just say it’s less than stellar. Is it supposed to be this much of a pain in the a-? Anyway, on to some things that have caught [...]

May is going to be huge. Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World’s End Official Trailer. Well, it has me pumped to see it. I have to say I was slightly disappointed at #2….I think it just didn’t hit me like the first one did. Not to mention the completely crappy (but expected) ending. But #3 [...]

Why is it that McDonalds takes all the heat when it comes to fast food and nutrition, when you have others doing much worse? Burger King has it’s 4 patty-4 slices of cheese-8 strips of bacon-1000 calorie monster. Heck, the Triple Whopper is even more than that. Wendy’s has “upgraded” their drink menu so that [...]
