Steel White Table

Comments about the Add a Sentence story can go here.

It’s that time of year again, everybody. It’s time for us to put aside our differences and write a story together. Instead of writing 5 words each like we did last time, everyone gets to add a full sentence. There are no restrictions to the length of the sentence. Do whatever works. Just keep it [...]

I’ve had a new PC running on Vista for the past couple months. I meant to keep a list of all the problems I’ve had with Vista and how I solved them. But I forgot. So here are the first two that I can remember off the top of my head.
1) Vista will drive you [...]

For the past two weeks I’ve been cooking fish about every other day on my gas BBQ using a cedar plank to smoke the fish. (See my previous post: Homemade Smoked Salmon.) You heat up the BBQ, place the plank on the grill, give it 5 minutes to heat up, put the fish on the [...]

J-Walk posted an item about an 8 Dollar Fruit. It reminded me of the watermelon in Labrador with the $55 price tag. Apparently it was a pricing error.
The [store] manager said that despite the price tag, the melon’s actual price should have been $38.
Would you pay $38 for this watermelon?

His jowls are developing now, [...]

Hey everybody. I’m goofing off today. So naturally I decided to re-design my Mud Songs web site. There isn’t much to see, but come on over when you get bored. It’s a work in progress.

I’ve been too busy working and settling into a new house to watch many movies this summer. Here’s what I’ve seen, though, in order of enjoyment.
The Dark Knight — A dark and twisted Batman movie made for adults, finally.
WALL-E — Proof that Pixar could make an excellent adult science fiction film someday.
The [...]

Jenny picked up a cedar plank from the grocery store today. (Yup, it’s just a piece of wood.) We were supposed to soak it for 4 hours, but we didn’t have time. We soaked it in boiling water for about 2 hours instead. We heated up our $89 Canadian Tire gas BBQ to — well, [...]

I recently got a new PC pre-installed with Vista. It seems like a half decent operating system so far. My main complaint is: things that used to work don’t work anymore because they’re incompatible with Vista. My older version of WordPerfect isn’t compatible with Vista (so I’m switching to OpenOffice). Neither is my older [...]

I saw a silly 3-D movie tonight and afterwards took a bunch of pictures of myself wearing the glasses in various poses. These are the banjo poses. Most of them are blurry. Not much to see really.

I did some other poses that are funny. I might post them later. No much time for blogging when [...]
