I almost titled this post "What Job Am I Best Suited For?" But then I didn't want someone to look at that and see the preposition at the end of the title and assume it was written by a complete moron. Don't get me wrong, I leave prepositions hanging at the ends of sentences all … Continue reading For What Job Am I Best Suited?

10 Things I Want for My Birthday
I guess I don't need to explain what this post will be about. The title is fairly self explanatory. But, if you haven't been able to surmise from my most recent Question of the Week or yesterday's ranking of previous birthday parties, my birthday is this Sunday.

The Last Command
Title: Star Wars: The Last Command Author: Timothy Zahn Published: 1993 The good guys won. The bad guys lost. All is right in the galaxy.

Here's the thing...

Question of the Week #53
How do you react when people sing "Happy Birthday" to you in a restaurant? Well... This is appropriate. My birthday is eight days away.
