Politics Goes To The Dogs

And I’m not going to take it anymore. With Fred dropping out, Kat asked me who I was going to vote for. I really didn’t have an answer. None of the existing candidates really make my loins quiver. So I was at a loss. But then something happened today that made it clear to me …

Depression

Fred Thompson dropped out this past weekend and I feel exactly like Liberty Belle. Well, except for the whole thing about being in love with Fred Thompson. But except for that, I feel exactly like she does.

RIP, Georgia Frontiere

For my non-football following readers (which is, umm, all of them probably), Georgia Frontiere was the owner of the St. Louis Rams, previously the Los Angeles Rams. In a world driven by testosterone, Georgia didn’t exactly fit but she ran a good franchise and truly cared for her players and employees, something that’s typically lacking …

Signs of the Apocalypse

At my previous job, one of my co-workers was kind of a conspiracy theorist ala Dale from King of the Hill. He was sure the black helicopters would be sweeping in over the horizon any day and he was always ready to repel them for as long as he could. Now, I’m all about self-sufficiency …

Random Update

I haven’t felt much like doing anything lately, much less writing so it’s been quiet around the Experiment. However, I think things are turning around as the days are getting longer, I’m starting to exercise again and I start a new job today. So go me. I’m coming up with my New Year’s Resolutions + …
