Contributing to global climate change since 1965, Allen believes that you have a Constitutional right to his opinion. 2006 was a pretty good year for the Thompsonians. I graduated from college (finally) with an actual undergraduate degree in the Spring and TT accepted a position with the University of Idaho one month ago. Neither of us can stay away from school, it would seem. We moved to Moscow and almost — quite nearly [...]
I have from time to time been told that I have too much time on my hands — that would be a Styx song. This guy has Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” on his hands. (Hat tip: The Agitator)
However you celebrate the season (and if you don’t, why not? It’s a great excuse to eat too much), here’s hoping that all is well with you and your loved ones at this time. Best wishes for an even better 2007 from all of us here at thompsonian*NET.
[Photo: Me] I took this picture several months ago and forgot about it. The subject is a beautifully landscaped green space and walkway on the campus of Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon. My assignment, if you can call it that, was to take a photo from the same perspective as one taken in [...]
Somehow, for reasons that escape me, someone at Cingular decided that my opinion was worth soliciting in exchange for a couple free ringtones every year. I’ve been filling out surveys for them since the middle of last year. The most recent survey included loads of questions about MySpace and if/when/how I would use my cell [...]
[photo: lorz] Two college students in the coffee shop. They’re both are working at their laptop computers and wearing headphones. They’re also trying to hold a conversation by speaking over the noise in the cafe and the music in their headphones. “I think I’m gonna get my hard drive wiped.” “What?” “I’m gonna get my [...]
You heard it here 142nd! Worldnet Daily brings the crazy. Specifically: Soy makes kids “gay.” And we have to use “scare quotes” because, as I’m sure you’re aware, there ain’t no such thing as “gay” even though TEH GAY must be avoided and suppressed at all costs. Jim Rutz (heh… Ruts… that’s funny) says: There’s [...]
My MySpace pals know of a certain weakness I have for a certain beautiful and talented actress who shall remain nameless… mostly because the restraining order specifically prohibits me from doing so. TT doesn’t mind my fantasy because there’s no chance in hades I’ll ever actually meet this actress and also because I put up [...]
As I mentioned in another blog we’re “hotel camping” for a while. The lobby of our hotel has a large seating area and a television so folks can catch up on the latest happenings in the morning and watch a game in the evening. Each morning we’ve been here the set has been tuned to [...]
A friend pointed out that the night before we left town, someone robbed a tavern in my old neighborhood. There are two possible explanations for this. The first is that, upon hearing of my departure, the criminal element moved in to exploit an obvious power vacuum (it’s a canister, actually). The second and more likely [...]
