Rainbow Circus was apparently a Sanrio line back in the early 1980s. This pencil case was a birthday present from my grandmother, and I think I was in the second grade. I know Mrs. Berry was still my teacher, so it would have had to be either first or second grade. There’s a little heart-shaped […]

Because I am utterly sickening, not to mention a Bear of Small Brain tonight, here are some pictures of some cute shit from my childhood. This past Fall, my folks brought down a trunk of my old childhood momentoes, and today I was a little bored at one point and started going through some of […]

A couple of weeks ago, I went along with my boss and his assistant to assess a cleanup project in an offsite office, and we were taken down to the building basement to eyeball a bunch of old files and miscellaneous stuff they’d been storing for quite some while. While we were poking around, identifying, […]

My mom’s first dog was a little mutt who was said to be part Wire-Hair Terrier and part Yorkshire Terrier. I was kind of bored and did a google video search on the word “terrier” and came up with this video, of a wire-hair terrier and a Yorkshire terrier playing on a treadmill, and wouldn’t […]

Heh. So, remember that orange blouse I posted a few weeks ago? Turns out I had scanned the pattern envelope a while back. So, here’s a picture of the original rendition of it, from 1948. I think I am going to make up the cap-sleeved version of it sometime. That would be style B for […]

Well, this is my much-beloved Old Reliable mountain bike. The ten-ton Trek. The first picture was from last spring, before I started doing stuff like putting bottle cages on it. It just had blinky lights, and I think it still had the bar-end rearview mirror, which it no longer has. It kept getting knocked off […]

What you see here is the main reason people keep housepets. Because pets are goofy and often amusing. That thing on Sugar’s head? Is the plastic bag a column of saltine crackers had come in. We’d had soup and finished off some crackers, and Sugar felt compelled to grab the bag and run off to […]

In the grand spirit of Magritte and all the other surrealists out there, this is not an entry. Whooo, meta, meta, meta, meta!

Sometimes, when I am work and have had more sitting still than I can take, I will take a 15-minute break and climb the stairs up to the top of the building and back down. One day I had my digital camera along, so I took some pictures in the stairwell. Most of those are […]

Well, I can tell my antidepressant has kicked in. Not only am I back to being giddily dorky and exuberant, I’m wanting to do shit again. Unfortunately, I want to do everything! All! At! Once! Aaaaaalll the shit I kind of quit doing a couple of months ago must be done now! Right now! Pronto, […]
