dirty jobs

Posted on 28 January 2009 By antipaucity

While I wish my cable bill was a lot lower, or that they’d only give me the channels I’m interested in, being able to DVR my favorite shows like Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe rocks. Setting-up series to just auto-record any time it’s new is teh hotness. It’s the concept of VCR+ implemented in a…

blacksburg is in the news too much

Posted on 25 January 20094 February 2009 By antipaucity

I heard this morning of the murder that took place in Blacksburg VA this past week. There were several other people in the Virginia Tech cafe when this happened, and while they called 911, none tried to stop the attack. The opening scenes of Boondock Saints has the following excerpt of the priest’s homily: “And…

store brands are sometimes better

Posted on 22 January 20094 February 2009 By antipaucity

I shop at various grocery stores, and the cashiers generally look at my purchases a little askance: clementines, milk, ice cream, pot pies, beer, Ensure – they seem to get confused when I checkout with my selections. I was raised with a thrifty mindset, but am not afraid to spend money for better quality. For…

eating at home has other benefits

Posted on 22 January 200922 January 2009 By antipaucity

Not merely saving money, but it’s also healthier. I’ve been eating dominantly at home – either mine or friends’ places – and have noticed that not only is each meal less expensive, but I can eat better food, too. Don’t get me wrong, those McDonald’s breakfast burritos are awesome. They’re also 300 calories a pop…

beer, bourbon, and bbq

Posted on 21 January 2009 By antipaucity

Last year I went to the Beer and Bourbon Festival at Koka Booth in Cary. My buddy Jeremy and I had an absolute blast. They’re bringing it back this year in August again, and I’m planning to go again. There are some other shows before and after in the southeast, but the one in Cary…

the best middle name. ever.

Posted on 21 January 200921 January 2009 By antipaucity

While I typically don’t repost, Seth Godin’s post was awesome. “The best middle name ever It’s not Warren or Susan or Otis or Samuel or Tricia. It’s “The.” As in Attila The Hun or Alexander The Great or Zorba The Greek. When your middle name is ‘The’, it means you’re it. The only one. The…

a [short] review

Posted on 20 January 200920 January 2009 By antipaucity 7 Comments on a [short] review

Regardless of for whom you voted in 2000, 2004, or 2008, and regardless of whether or not you approve of the out-going president, or his replacement, certainly one thing can be agreed-upon. Less than 8 months after President George W Bush took office, some group of people hostile to the United States flew aircraft into…
