I was sitting on the couch watching The Hunt for Red October when a Pedigree dog chow commercial voiced over by David Duchovny comes on. It shows this loppie-eared little dog in the kennel and two people who come to look at him and then leave. David Duchovny says something like, “For every dog that [...]

Show no weakness
Posted by E-George on January 24, 2008
Matthew has been pretty good about calling me in the evenings around 9:00pm (9:30am a day ahead in India). Since neither of us are really chit-chatters, these calls don’t really exceed 5-10 minutes.

Some other pictures from India include this family-style traveling:

Getting pampered with soggy socks
Posted by E-George on
That may not sound great on the surface, but I’ll e’splain…. No. There is too much. I’ll sum up:
I am having the luxurious experience of having Stanley Steemer wash our carpets as I type this. The luxury connotation is merely derived from the tradeoff of not having to wash the carpets myself. For a little [...]

A great sushi dinner with Kerri and Amanda topped off with drinks at the Tucano’s meat rodeo. A great evening (despite the crippling cold).

Not fair.
Posted by E-George on January 16, 2008
It’s not fair. Why do accidents happen? (Rhetorical question. I know why accidents happen.) Why do good people get inflicted with unspeakable awfulness? (Also rhetorical.) Why is it, when the awfulness comes, I grow mute? (Not so rhetorical. This has bothered me for years). I become incapable of [...]

Via Matthew from his luxurious surroundings in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala India, who got it from BoingBoing.net:
