To those of you shoveling snow or scraping the ice off your windshield or grieving the meteorological predictions of an amphibious rodent I have one thing to say:
Suck it, Northern Hemisphere losers.
February rocks!
Now when you manage to get out of your parkas and your fingers thaw, go and check out my post on The Greenists today. [...]
Nor much of a writer either. I’ve spent a couple of days trying, and failing, to figure out the best way to write about what was a wonderful weekend. I’ve given up. And decided to let my handy little point and shoot, which spent the weekend in my pocket, tell you instead.
Friday:
Boy Z came to ‘work’ with [...]
Day 3 of ‘Voluntary’ Underemployment
-Number of cigarettes smoked: Incredibly, still zero.
-Number of Panadol taken in the vain effort to stop the pounding in my head: 17
-Hours spent wondering just what the hell I am doing: Oh, thousands.

I’m working on something special for y’all this week – the sexy Neanderthal post I’ve been promising since Christmas – but I need one more day to finish it up. I suspect that some of you may be getting tired of glamourous Boy Z on an Australian beach photo. Well, here’s a change of pace, [...]

I’m coming to realize this week that holidays (vacations) as I knew them are over. In the past, holidays with Dr. O’C have been leisurely affairs – sleeping late, consuming novels like candy, leisurely walks on the beach, wandering through the ancient cities of Europe, luxurious dinners. Well, with the introduction of a toddler terrorist [...]

What a difference a day makes, or insert your favorite random cliche regarding the fickleness (fickility?) of time here. After spending the earlier part of this week in the peaceful bliss of fatherhood and idle days of the University break, I was barraged Tuesday afternoon with a slew of frantic e-mail from Job Number 2.

When I looked ahead to having the first two days of this week off, I had all sorts of grand plans. I planned to do an insightful blog post on the collapse of American Capitalism. I had penciled in time [...]
