There’s no business like snow business…

Written by Puzzlehead, in General

A few observations about this Blizzard of 2010: On Friday, February 5th, it seemed like the scene from Independence Day when all of the humans were excited to see the alien spacecraft flying over their city. Then, as Jeff Goldblum watches his timer countdown to zero, the joy and jubilation in everyone’s faces freezes. Everyone […]

I have a skin irritation on my legs so I used an anti-itch/first-aid cold spray on it in order numb it. I accidentally sprayed my genitals. # @Inkblot It was hot and cold and then numb within the span of two minutes. I thought I was going to die. And my crotch smells minty. # […]

Merry Christmas, Rumpshaker, and other holiday thoughts

Written by Puzzlehead, in Entertainment, General, Relationships, Technology

Christmas presents. Oy, oy, oy…what a horrible time of the year. I’m never good at finding and buying presents for people. It wasn’t until recently that I finished buying presents for my wife, Angela, and I spent a good part of the last few weeks trying to figure out a cool present to give her. […]

“The Dark Side of Planet Earth” by Allan Corbett

Written by Puzzlehead, in General

I can’t believe I haven’t seen this even though it was posted to Vimeo over a year ago: A mash up of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon and the first episode of the BBC’s Planet Earth. The audio and video are completely unedited. The Dark Side of Planet Earth from allan corbett on […]

Wait, This Is My Medication?!

Written by Puzzlehead, in General

I went to the doctor today in order to find out what the problem is with my wing and my back. My shoulder has been killing me for the past two weeks and I have absolutely no idea why. So much so that my back has shooting pains because I think it is compensating for […]

I Think Marissa Miller Is HOT But…

Written by Puzzlehead, in Entertainment, General

Marissa Miller is 8 years younger than me. Whereas I got to see Star Wars when it first came out she was probably still getting used to solid food. Another difference? She’s a wildly successful model who has been on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issues and a Victoria’s Secret Angel. Me? I’m crabby […]

Happy Halloween! Your Daughter Is A Slut!

Written by Puzzlehead, in General

Halloween is just around the corner and I have to say that I have no idea what to expect. It seems as if every year this ‘holiday’ manages to disappoint me. Last year we had a ton of candy and we decorated our house with the requisite Halloweenie stuff and what happened? We got a […]

Captain Slow Rides Again

Written by Puzzlehead, in General

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. […]

Sitting back and kicking it old school. I can kick it, right?

Written by Puzzlehead, in Entertainment, General

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 […]

There’s Nothing To Fear Except Fear Itself. Oh, And Also…

Written by Puzzlehead, in General, Relationships

[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 […]

Click. Happy Father’s Day.

Written by Puzzlehead, in Dad, General, Relationships, Tobey

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 […]

Deciding Whether I Should Be Physically Fit or Physically Fat

Written by Puzzlehead, in General, Health

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 […]

My Body Is A Temple. I Suppose It’s Time For An Exorcism.

Written by Puzzlehead, in Food, General, Health

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 […]

Lost in Translation – If You’re Going To Yell At Americans You May As Well Make Us Feel Bad

Written by Puzzlehead, in General

When I got home from Virginia Beach yesterday I went through the various news reports that I’ve grown accustomed swimming through. This can literally take me upwards of 3 hours to complete. What I enjoy most about this little habit of mine is that I get to absorb news and opinions from all the nooks […]

[NSFW] Milk: It Does A Body Good – The Photography of Andrey Razumovsky

I was cruising on the web the other day and I cam across the works of Andrey Razumovsky. Andrey specializes in very striking erotic photograph which is sometimes mixed with digital art. One of his more recent projects is called “Milk”.

And My Site Is Back Up :)

Written by Puzzlehead, in Entertainment, General, Technology

Thank you for your patience during this station break… I always wondered what news anchors did during commercial breaks. If the clip doesn’t play, click the HQ button and then press play. Updating this was a pain because I thought I forgot to do a dump of the blog database and switched nameservers. Then I […]

Going Grocery Shopping? Scan It!

Written by Puzzlehead, in Entertainment, General

Angela and I went to Giant in Sterling last month and, lo and behold!, they had the new Scan It! system in place. If you aren’t familiar with this tool, here’s what they say about it at the Giant web site: “Scan It! Scan and bag in the aisle as you shop, with a running […]

USPDF: Restoring My Faith In Humanity (Part II)

Written by Puzzlehead, in Entertainment, General

While going through videos online you can’t help but run into the vids of people having pole dancing mishaps. They either slide and hurt themselves or the pole somehow collapses to an equally devastating fate. Earlier this year I had stumbled across the following video: and I thought ‘Wow. That’s pretty interesting.’ What didn’t make […]

“You Feel Like You’re In Deep, Deep Shit”: The Playboy Lab Rat & Waterboarding

Written by Puzzlehead, in General, Rant

Oh, that Playboy. Remember when you would take the opportunity to steal a glance at your Dad’s copies? You know…to read the articles. It felt like you were entering a world that was kept secret by adults because, well, it was porn. Softcore porn, but porn nonetheless. You would start by carefully inspecting the cover […]

Baseball, Our Natinal Past Time

Written by Puzzlehead, in General

Friday, April 17th, 2009. It was a good day – I was slated to head downtown and see some friends and go out. It was quite the evening which I’ll put chronicle as rounding the bases of the baseball diamond. Just after 2pm I stepped up to the plate, hopped into my truck and headed […]

Inochi: Ok, fine. Now I have to find this.

Written by Puzzlehead, in Entertainment, General

I caught this video this morning and, for some reason, realized that I had never seen this live action Japanese show. In each short commercial you’ll see almost every coming-of-age manga story device invented. Which translates into three: Catching morning wood The indirect kiss through the sharing of a drink peeping on girls dressing for […]
