Just a normal Sunday night at Lambeau, it was. Right?

Well, I made it to my one game of the season on Sunday afternoon/night at Lambeau Field, and let me tell you - it was one for the books (and one for the blog!). I tried to get playoff tickets, but they were going to be nothing but busy signals all night long, and [...]

Time for the TMQ pimpage

Tuesday Morning Quarterback is up.

Read this. I’ll be back later.

Dave Barry’s recap of 2003 was a good read this morning.
I have lots of info to impart, with one big football item, and one big Return of the King item, but I have to get working on a project for school, so I will have to come back to that info later.

The most intriguing game I’ve played in a bit, and other things.

Every now and again, I prefer to let people know what I’m playing on the video game side of things, which unfortunately has been turned away from the PC arena as of late, mostly because of money (I just couldn’t afford to play Galaxies anymore, not with the tooth work I have coming around the [...]

The URL revealed!

Another section of the site is open now - if you’d like to see some pictures of what I’ve got going on here on vicarage and at home, then please hit up

I plan on updating it regularly to ensure that you get some kind of idea what kinds of things are going on in my [...]

duh…. um…..

The Vikings?
Beat the Chiefs?

High game = like, 100 or less.

I just got back from taking my 7th/8th grade youth out to go cosmic bowling, and let me tell you that it was a total and complete blast.
There weren’t as many as I had been led to believe were coming, which was pretty good, but we still managed to end up with about 25 or [...]

And along with the cheese - the Friday Five.

Bit of a weak Friday Five this week, if you ask me, but here goes.
1. List your five favorite beverages.
I’m not going to limit myself to commercial drinks - I will say hot wassail (depends on the recipe), Diet Coke, Mountain Dew, any kind of iced tea, and lastly ice water (because three trillion fish [...]

Time for the cheese

1. What was your most memorable present you received as a child? Good or bad.
The first Christmas present I remember receiving as a child was a Pac-Man sleeping bag (one of those cheap, cloth bags that you give children for “camping out” in the house). The most memorable would have been the Nintendo I [...]

Actually posted on the NOAA web site today…

This has since been taken down, but it’s about the most humorous thing I’ve read in a while that’s come out of a government office.

Even though I’m breaking my promise to myself…

This has to be seen to be believed.

The one thing I love to do for which I never seem to find time.

I planned on doing this yesterday morning (to coincide with the publish of TMQ, as always). I planned on then doing so yesterday evening, but I ended up getting sucked into a (very nice) reception here at church after the preschool Christmas program - which I have taped and will likely be posting somewhere [...]

Big time bummer.

Had some pain problem with biting on a filling on Monday (the filling had been placed one week prior), and so I went to the dentist on Tuesday to have it looked at. He found what he called a slight high spot on the filling, but he also mentioned that, since the filling was [...]

My thoughts exactly.


Just kinda catching up on things.

First off, I have to get these links off my browser that I’ve had queued up for three days:
Quite possibly the one stupid gadget I must have at some point in my life, if only for the sheer entertainment factor it would involve: a cell-phone jammer with a 10-meter radius.
A wonderful Rolling Stone interview with [...]

Read and be enlightened.

Tuesday Morning Quarterback for today has been posted. Enjoy.
Good to know that the lame duck pass Favre managed to throw for an INT made TMQ as the Sour Play of the Week. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
All I have to say about the Pack is that they are dead in the water if they continue [...]

The pad work has begun.

Well, between this past weekend and today, the first of the preparations for my solid state DDR pad have begun to take place. I picked up a second soft pad (so I can strip out the contact panel and use it as a control interpreter), and I have picked up my order of polycarbonate [...]

A few updates. Haven’t done this in a while.

Well, the situation I have been waiting for has just recently come to a head, and I’m not entirely sure what’s going to happen with it. There’s going to be a big announcement, and a big meeting, and I suppose I will see what happens with the whole situation after that point. If [...]
