I like Mike Rowe a lot. No, not in some kind of man crush kind of way, but more along the lines that his television personality seems to be the same way that he is in real life. His television show, Dirty Jobs on the Discovery Channel, is in its 5th season and has reached […]

First off… I will not lie – I’m an avid anime/manga consumer. It gives you a warped sense of what culture is like in Japan. On the one hand you think that every scantily clad school girl has a kick ass robot that can transform into a spaceship, on the other hand you also get […]

Oy, it’s almost Halloween and I’m still working on two different posts: Michael’s Annual Halloween Candy Extravaganza Happy Halloween! Jane, You Ignorant Slut! (working title) However, I’ve run into a pretty bad roadblock: I’m lazy. I keep going back to my drafts and my research and then I get distracted with so many other things. […]

I didn’t know if I wanted to post this on my blog or on the Woofie’s blog. Seeing as how my friend Amy’s blog is slightly more professional, I opted to put this here: First off, there are so many weird things about this short clip – There’s a skunk with it’s head stuck in […]

Oh, that Hugh Laurie… [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAE5z8Ct56g&fmt=18[/youtube] …he makes me laugh in so many ways. It is somewhat reminiscent of the Ministry of Silly Walks [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZlBUglE6Hc[/youtube] Anywho, Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry always manage to fascinate me. If it wasn’t for Jeeves & Wooster then it was the numerous other material that they’ve produced over the years. […]

I trap spam through my email using both Postini (the same tool used by Google) as well as Spam Assassin. Below is a list of the subjects of the messages which were trapped last night: Be the artist of love! Fill her up so tight Make a life-changing decision you will not regret, find out […]

The new Volkswagen website, thefuntheory.com, is being built around the premise that [It] is dedicated to the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behaviour for the better. Be it for yourself, for the environment, or something entirely different, the only thing that matters is that it’s change […]

I’ve been on the interwebs for a while. Yes, this ugly mistress and I go back quite a ways. There have been times when I’ve tried to ignore her beguiling charms but she always finds a way to sink her hastily applied Lee Press On Nails into my back and draw me in. It was […]

I’m going to be crossing two different types of communication here so please, forgive me. I’m curmudgeonly. This is what we grouchy people who look up to Statler & Waldorf as role models do. For the tl;dr crowd: I want to poke people in the eye who speak and spell like shit online. My last […]

Waugh. My head hurts. According to the vitriol being spewed over the summer that’s enough reason for a Death Panel to pass judgement on me. HA! I’m 9 years past the “Logan’s Run” age limit to get to Carousel! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WUUnc1M0TA[/youtube] Anyhow, this post isn’t about that. This post is about how my head hurts because […]
You really don’t hear about cosplayers outside of either Japan or the United States. I give to you an ingenius fellow from Mexico and his rendition of Bumble Bee from the Transformers [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG8CUHGb1Y4[/youtube] That thing is freakin’ SICK! Angela and I briefly discussed how difficult it must be to design something like that. I kept […]

Waugh. After my last post about Kristen Dunst I was hoping that it was all just a bad dream. I mean, sailor uniforms, magical girl outfit, thigh-high striped stockings on the frame of a Hollywood starlet should make me giddy, right? Instead it made me feel conflicted. Then more images started to pop up (click […]
I’ll admit: I was a fan of Kirsten Dunst in “Bring It On”. She was cute, blond and in a cheerleader uniform. Then she sorta got weird. She would walk around bra-less and in hippy clothes. She was spotted on the beach with her bando top unceremoniously exposing her boobs (Aaaaaaaaargh! My eyes!!!). By the […]

I love watching Top Gear. Granted, there are very few cars that I’ll ever own that they show. Nor will I ever get to play soccer with a Ford Focus, attach a Mini Cooper to a rocket and send it down a ski jump, nor travel across the Antarctic in an SUV or dog sled. […]

I like cartoons. Sure, I’m all happy to see anime or the stuff that’s ginned up in Hollywood. Much of it all comes down to the base notion that I really ejoy watching children’s programming, not just when I was a kid but also as I’ve grown into a relatively well adjusted adult. And then […]

So, the other day I was sitting trying to figure out a ton of random stuff at work when, all of a sudden, I got LL Cool J songs stuck in my head. Luckily, YouTube was around the corner and I was able to load up songs like “Rock the Bells”, “I Need Love”, “Going […]

[flv width=”320″ height=”240″]http://heyitcouldbeworse.com/media/bunsen-tasteslikerabbit.flv[/flv] Angela and I went to go pick up Bunsen today. We had to drive from Sterling, Virginia, down to Yorktown, Virginia. That’s normally about a 3 hour drive. It wound up taking us about 4.5. Traffic heading down was horrible, what with traffic down 95, near Busch Gardens and the typical weekend […]

I don’t plan to write on this blog this weekend so I thought that posting this early would be a good idea. When I was in college I remember lugging around cameras all over the place. I would take pictures of my roomies, my friends, the campus and everything else around me. It was a […]

39. I’m 39 years old. Nothing blows as much as coming to the realization that you’re past the half-way point of the average natural life span of a human. I remember when I was a teen thinking ‘Holy crap, being over 30 is OLD.’. So, now I’m almost at 40. According to the younger me […]
You know, you can learn a lot from the movie ‘Office Space’: How to bilk your company out of thousands of dollars by skimming pennies a la Superman IV, where your stapler is, and how to beat the crap out of office equipment in slow motion set to a gangsta beat. It was also the […]

I went to my physical last Friday. Guess what? High blood pressure and they suspect that I have poor cholestoral readings. And I could lose a few pounds. Nothing makes you feel self-conscious like a female doctor with her nurse practitioner in training telling you that you have to drop weight all the while your […]

I’m one of those freaks that can’t work in silence. The unfortunate truth is that I also have a ton of work that I need to get through over the next two weeks. Work work and other client work is going to keep me chained to my computer for a while. It’s making my butt numb.
