Saw a cool bumper sticker the other day. It said--

My son made the honor pod at CB6, Arizona State Prison, Florence

Much cooler than those inane stickers celebrating the feeble accomplishments of an endless series of idiot children, IMever-soHO. This is a sticker that means something, dammit.

Went to the Warped Tour musical event yesterday. Screamer bands really are not my cup o' tea.

I think the thing that bothered me the most (but don't misunderstand me, I enjoyed the movie immensely) is the fact that if he is so bloody high-minded and noble, why didn't he feel one iota of guilt about haring off to the other side of the galaxy for five years, leaving his Arctic fortress with i…

Just got back from an excursion to the Black River on the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation. 2 day camping trip up toward the Point of Pines Lake. Beautiful country up there, and nice and remote so you don't get the weekend-warrior crowds out of Phoenix glutting the place with loud music and exp…

Ha ha! I'm giving dwarfsoft a run for his money in the "lack of journal" department. [grin]

So what's been going on? Well, I've been playing WoW, but not really as much as I had initially feared I would. There are quite a few RL things distracting me right now, nothing too serious but a lot of thing…
