The Descent
Caught it yesterday. I was late, the date didn't show and hasn't returned calls (which, given we're more co-workers than dates, is bizarre), but still enjoyed the movie thoroughly. Except for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The Beginning trailer. Why Michael Bay thinks directing this sort of thing is a good career move is beyond me.

Anyway, The Descent. I first heard of...

Back to School
I finally did it. A very long time after graduating from college, I'm back looking for more. The current career path is packed with dead ends, each notable for the zombie like, drooling gazes of those vainly attempting to claw their way up the wall. No thanks, need something new. Been stagnant too long, time to change. So I'm getting some...

I've slept in a very great deal. I engaged in a lot of somnambulism as a kid, wandering about the house nocturnally like Moses trying to find the way out of the wilderness. If Moses was marking his territory by pissing on everything he could find, anyway. Sometimes my analogies aren't so good.

Here, he posts a response by an...unforgiving Christian soul to his song God Thinks. Voltaire apparently didn't...

Here's an entry for the worst date ever.

Thankfully, I wasn't a participant. She's a friend from work, so we'll just call her WorkingGirl -- a convenient, neutral term. WorkingGirl enjoyed a 6 week romance with one of the many damn fools who have no idea what the hell they want in relationships. He finally decided -- after successfully demanding she remove her nipple...

So here I am. This is All About Me time, so if an autobiographical spinning of the wheels doesn't fit your mood, best move on.

The basis stats: 37 and single, engaged once but never married. I have a BS in psych which I immediately put to good use removing things from dead people (more on that in a minute). I've known about SG for...
