It's holiday time! I know, because my parents are telling me the ways in which I disappoint them. *sigh*

The burlesque show was excellent! There were balloons and glitter and chickens, and fun was had by all. I had pics with the lovely, lovely performers, but they come out as well as any another pic I've taken.

Everybody have happy and safe holidays!

A single electrical socket in my apartment is out. Of course that's the one that powers my television, video games and DVD player. Nooooo! I'll have to talk to a human being or read a book now!

Okay, it's not so dire, but I was looking forward to watching The Hogfather tonight. I Terry Pratchett. Hi-freakin'-larious! (Instead I'm watching the most depressing West Wing ever...

mmmmkay.

Still a little too wired. Had a night out of karaoke-ing with bluevalentine and her wonderful beau. I had way more fun than I deserved.

I'm writing this while in that wonderful drunken haze where I don't remember what the hell was sang by whom. I know bluevalentine did a wonderful version of These Boots Were Made for Walking.

But more importantly, my singing....

It's probably not too bad, but I'm like that.

Blargh.

I can't seem to motivate myself to get off my ass.

So, Nikola Tesla. Show of hands, who heard of him? He was a scientist, back before the word was used to describe scientists. I'll make this one quick.

Short answer? You know how they make electricity somewhere, send it out over power lines, and it goes into your home and powers you lights, TV,...

Did everybody enjoy their Turkey Day? (For those of you who worship the mightiest of all nature's creatures: the domesticated Turkey.)

Mine was uneventful. I chilled with my folks. Played Uno with the kids. Dropped in on the grandma. All the usual stuff. Fun was had by all.

I was going to write a blog about my two favorite, forgotten inventors. I'll get to that...

Where am I?

I'm drinking wine out of a bottle. I have glasses. Now that I think of it, I have a wine glass within my reach. But I am drinking wine out of a bottle. I think I do this because it makes me vaguely feel French. I know that makes no sense, but I'm a Mexican kid from South Texas. I take what...

hahaha! I had an article in the news section that went up a week ago and I didn't even notice!

Shockingly enough, my article on evil AI and robots didn't get updated in my RSS feed. Hmmmmm...

I've noticed lately my writing style has taken an odd turn. Maybe I've been reading too much WarrenEllis, but I've had this odd caustic streak lately. In...

Blargh. A half dozen young men chose 4 am this morning to stand underneath my bedroom window and have a series of loud conversations. Seriously? What the fuck? Moving on.

I wanted to go see the new James Bond movie, but an emergency at work prevented me from going. Then I got lazy when I got home today. Blah.

My bookshelf is fuller than it...
