Restaurant review: Sono sushi

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

http://www.sonoraleigh.com
For several years now, I’ve had an bunch of friends that get together about once a month to consume vast quantities of raw–and cooked–fishies. Our group’s been going out long enough now that we’ve tried a good number of the sushi places in the area… and we all have our favorites.
When we can’t all […]

Not dead? No.

Monday, March 10th, 2008

Contrary to the actual appearance of this blog, I am still alive over here in my little corner–medium-sized corner?–of the internets.
What conspires to keep a random blogger down? Mostly, the fact that I spend a good portion of my day at work staring at a similar interface and don’t want to continue looking at […]

Eight random facts meme

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

Tagged by my good friend Paul, I must make with the posting and rejoin the blogging internets once again. I understand from his explanation that I’m to reveal eight random facts about me and then tag 8 people who are asked to do the same. So without further ado or explanation:

I’m deathly afraid of […]

Well, /duh/.

Turned on the TV when I got home, and the local news was on. Fortunate timing, otherwise I would have missed this absolute gem (And the emphasis? Is totally the newscaster’s.):

Ink.

Sunday, June 10th, 2007

I have, since I was about 12 or 13, been fascinated with ink. I draw, occasionally paint, and since I was in middle school frequently used my body as a canvas for sharpie marker and stick-on tattoo.
I toyed with the idea of real ink for years, shying away because of the needles involved, holding […]

The post that never dies.

Wow, that Duggar post just keeps on going. And when I think it can’t possibly get more nutty…. it does.
Hee. I love that Duggar post.

Amused me.

“Yeeeah, the only other information I have on killing evil elves involves the rolling of 20-sided dice.”
So sayeth the hot goth assistant on Blood Ties (that horrible vampire soap opera on Lifetime that I can’t stop TiVoing).

Rediscovering bands.

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

Another side effect of going through my entire music collection to import it into (I know, shaddup R.) iTunes is that I’ve rediscovered a lot of dusty old CDs from the bottom of the shelf. Things I haven’t listened to in years. Bands I truly do love but just… forgot for a […]

Lawnmowin’ mix.

Monday, May 7th, 2007

There must be a mix for everything now. S. is so right. Mowing the lawn is /so much/ less horrible with a soundtrack. Mine includes:

AFI - Sing the Sorrow, A.F.I. (the compilation from Nitro), 1 song from All Hallows, The Art of Drowning, /and/ most of Decemberunderground.
Shiny Toy Guns - We are […]
