Weather Worries redux

nobody@vox.com(Crockpot) — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 11:44:53 -0500

Well Peter was right. The damage due to the storm was very Katrina like in my area. I got off lucky compared to a lot of my neighbors. I was without power from Friday till Sunday night around 10:50PM. ( HATE HATE HATE not having lights at night! ...

Weather and Worries

nobody@vox.com(Crockpot) — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 14:20:48 -0500

Well the county building inspector's office sent someone to check out my 'holes' and he reported to me that the front yard holes are caused, most likely by crawdads or some other burrowing animal reaching all the way through the ground to the drai...

Haven't updated in a long time now, sorry to both of my readers. I've been lazy. What's been happening to me since the last update? Well let's see. I've got a girlfriend, my work has moved from one of the worst part of town to downtown (whoot!) ...

Halloween

nobody@vox.com(Crockpot) — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 13:48:50 -0500

Do kids actually DO Halloween anymore? I live in a pretty substantial neighborhood on a corner, and only had 8 kids show up to Trick-or-Treat. They started late around 7 o'clock and the last one was around 7:45. 'Old Man mode' back in my day the...

I'm officially old

Well it finally got here. My 20'th High School reunion. More people didn't show up than did, as you'd expect but it looks like not many of us are dead yet at least. I only went to my high school for junior and senior year (thanks Dad) and I was ...

Cute! Cute! Cute!

I've just finished the first season of Cardcaptor Sakura and I must say, I gotta start watching crap anime again, the desire to buy the good stuff is gonna break me. I'm buying all of this series even though I haven't seen all of it. It's that goo...

The worst show I still like

nobody@vox.com(Crockpot) — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 16:47:53 -0500

Just finished up Ikki Tousen and I must say this is a horribly bad show.....But I couldn't stop watching because the makers just didn't care how stupid it was, they were by god gonna give their viewers some serious fanservice. As usual per anime ...

Human Crossing

nobody@vox.com(Crockpot) — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 15:49:54 -0500

Human Crossing is the latest series I've viewed from Netflix. HC is a series of non-related slice of life stories. I didn't think it would be my cup of tea because I usually watch anime series hoping for a complex story or at least some interestin...

Two years later

nobody@vox.com(Crockpot) — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 11:03:54 -0500

BigJim has a post about what happened to him and his wife two years ago yesterday. It brought back some of my memories about Katrina. For me Katrina was just a nuisance and a really bad weather day at first. For some of my neighbors, it was a lo...
