about me
People's commonest reaction to me:
"Dude, you're... kinda weird."
I'm trying to take that as a compliment.
In a city full of amateurs...

...I found some PROFESSIONAL workmen: Sunny Painting and Drywall.
They're a Korean family: the brothers do the work, and the daughter does estimates and sets up appointments. You gotta love a family that works well together.
Plus, they'r...

T-Day in the Triangle of Death
(blog entry)
So we played Pictionary and Charades for Thanksgiving, the few of us who're left here. Apparently Your Humble Narrator is pretty good at the Pictionary thing: "Razor" was trivial; "Nurse" earned me some abuse; "Paradise" like to killed me - but I...

"The company is like a big, dumb dog. It can't do anything right, but it totally loves you, so you have to love it back."

So on the 16-hour flight from DFW to Kuwait City International Airport (en route to Baghdad), they plied us with dollar movies. Most of 'em I could take or leave, but "The Pursuit of Happyness" is a must-see. Probably a must-own. I think Will Sm...

Shutterbug Speaks
(blog entry)
Behold, my pathetic attept at capturing the conjuction of the moon and Venus a week or two ago (Hero, when was that...?) using a Kodak V610 point-and-shoot. Without a tripod. I've GOT to get a decent camera.

Plus, they're polite, fast and ruthlessly efficient. I thought I had a ceiling that needed to be repainted. After three days of ripping out drywall and replacing insulation (still soaked three weeks after the leak), the place looks like nothing ever happened.

So we played Pictionary and Charades for Thanksgiving, the few of us who're left here. Apparently Your Humble Narrator is pretty good at the Pictionary thing: "Razor" was trivial; "Nurse" earned me some abuse; "Paradise" like to killed me - but I nailed all of 'em. And they're STILL giving me crap about the Jewish guy's rendition of Jesus, back in September!
But the Feat of the Evening has to go to my diminutive (female) lieutenant, for her Charades rendition of "Milkshake"...

Sydney Poitier refused to take a role that portrayed a black man as anything less than noble - which, in the 60s, meant that he turned down a lot of work. Will Smith grew up in the era of BET, so he...

Thing is...even if I HAD a decent camera... I'd never have it with me. The great thing about my Kodak is that it's PRETTY good in most situations (like shooting video from helicopters flying over Baghdad), and fits in my pocket.
