Last Independence Day (and other than the date I don’t know what brings this story to mind), a friend of ours brought her two kids (I don’t know their exact ages but I think the younger one is like 9ish and the older about 11 or 12) over our place to watch the fireworks because you can see the fireworks from the city stadium from our backyard. During the course of the evening, Harry Potter came up (probably a commercial for one of the movies came on our something, but I don’t really recall), and I casually asked if she’d ...

Note to art-illiterates: Nudity, on it’s own, is not obscene. Or is this another case of “naked woman = art; naked man = porn?” © dolphin for Dolphin's Dock, 2009. | Permalink | No comment | Add to del.icio.us Post tags: Feed enhanced by Better Feed from Ozh ...

That is how the home inspector described our house purchase this morning. There are a few bigger problems that will have to be taken care of by the seller before we close (for example, removing an old gas line that used to go to the hot water heater before it was switched to electric), and a several minor things that hopefully the seller will take care of but if it goes above what they are required by law to fix, and they refuse, we won’t mind doing ourselves (for example, the kitchen sink isn’t caulked). The inspector certainly didn’t give ...

This week's episode of the HBO vampire series True Blood delivered a knock out punch of exhilarating life and death drama, relationship strains, supernatural hijinks, and some of the goriest scenes ever seen on a tv series. And we loved it all! But perhaps the episode's real heat resides in its deliverance of nearly one hour of scorching hot bods. Usually, often-shirless, sometimes pantless Ryan Kwanten (Jason Stackhouse) is by far and wide the hottest body of them all, but even Ryan had to take a back seat to Mehcad Brooks (Eggs), who is developing into ...

I realize I’ve not been posting much lately (alot going on) so maybe the spambots have decided my blog is dead and therefore they have less change of being akismeted and summarily deleted, but I’ve been getting an INSANE amount of spam here recently. Fortunately, Akismet is catching them, but I swear since June has started I must have had to delete a couple hundred spam messages.

Front of houseI didn’t expect it to happen so soon, but we’ve put an offer in on a house! It’s actually the very first house we went to see in person. We’ve looked at other since and will continue looking until this one is set in stone, but really it’s the best we’ve seen by leaps and bounds. Prior to starting the house hunt, I was told “Don’t settle, you’ll know when it’s the right house.” If that’s the case, then this is the one because from the moment we found the listing we both were very excited about ...

Well, you may have noticed that things looks a little different here now. I’ve been so busy lately that I have only had time to occasionally pick at it here and there, so it’s taken me a LONG time to get this theme developed. I dove a little deeper into WordPress’s templating core in this one giving it full support for threaded comments (a feature added in WordPress 2.7, I believe), and the ability to easily switch out the header image (which I probably won’t really do, but I wanted to teach myself HOW to develop a theme with that ...
