The Severed Cortex

Seriously. Who has time for this? more »

I'm in Fort Lauderdale, FL on a business trip and tonight we decided to roll over to Dolphins Stadium to watch the Marlins-Dodgers game. The last time I was in this stadium it was called Pro Player and I witnessed baseball history with the only instant… more »

I'm supposed to really, really like this. And I do to a certain extent, but it really doesn't move me all that much. I mean, I really like Elliott Smith a ton, which is why I bought this to begin with, and everyone seems to think this is his best work,… more »

Which according to an article a couple of days ago is almost impossible to prosecute. I say run the red light. more »

The Rams drafted Virginia's Chris Long, son of football/broadcast legend and pitchman Howie Long today choosing brains and pedigree over Glenn Dorsey's brawn and athleticism. I'm not sure I would have done that. Looking good at an ACC school is one thi… more »

I love the internets. more »

Number 42. Most people would have thought I'd be dead by now. more »

When I was a kid, I used to build a lot of models. I'd walk to the Magic Mart, plunk down $2, and go home with a billion plastic pieces to paint and glue together. I was such a model geek that I even had the Testor's brand plastic dropcloth complete wi… more »

I hate the Poplar Street Bridge because it scares the crap out of me. There is way too much traffic going across it every day and it has just taken a beating. After last week's earthquake I'm even less inclined to drive across it. I just hope the new… more »

This is from the Decoration Day CD released back in 2003. I normally don't buy singles but I heard this one on KDHK driving home one late evening several months ago and I came home and bought it right away. My reasoning? I thought the guitar riff was… more »

Nancy's aunt and uncle are in town for a conference and we took them out to eat at Sqwires in Lafayette Square last night. The food was very good and we managed to get out of there for $200 for the four of us. That includes a bottle of wine too. I h… more »

All this dropping bombs on people. Why not drop some bombs on the dance floor instead? In case you are critically Caucasian like me ... Crunk is the style of music. Crump is the style of dance. Don't get the two mixed up. This is nothing more than… more »

For Christmas I received an Estes model rocket kit. It came with a prebuilt rocket, launch pad, controller, and two B stage engines with igniters. For weeks I've been wanting to shoot the darn thing off and for every weekend Robert and I could hang out… more »

I sure love good soul and funk music. This stuff they pass off as R & B today makes me sick. It's all overproduced and it all sounds the same. No one cares about the real rhythm and blues anymore, it's all crooners with great voices. Not that tha… more »

I'm not saying it's not needed. I'm just pointing out that he's mowing it for the second time this year. more »

Stay safe out there John. 18 hours a day steering in that current makes for one stressed out old man. more »

After a hard night of drinking and card playing in which some members of the group stayed up until way past their bedtime, we all awoke to 38 degrees and light rain. Needless to say, no one was motivated. We cooked breakfast in our cabin and it was tas… more »

Every year in the spring a bunch of us get together for a fishing trip. This year we went back to Crab Orchard Lake. We finally got down there and the boat dropped around 1:00 pm, which is way too late to fish if you ask me. Not everyone's schedule wo… more »

Yes I'm addicted to fantasy baseball. But, as addicted as I may be, I only play one team. Some play 20 different teams or more. My dad told me he had 4 plus he also works for the Springfield Cardinals. I come by my love of baseball naturally. Po… more »

I wasn't necessarily looking to go to another hockey game with Robert, but he seemed to like the last game so much. And since we got the tickets for free from one of Nancy's coworkers it seemed like a good idea. I knew once the Cardinal season started… more »

At one point I managed to post something every day for a couple of months. Clearly that didn't happen in March. In my defense, I traveled a lot, often to places where I either did not have internet access or it was inconvenient to deal with it. Beside… more »

Only the coroners report will show the truth. Guess what they are prying out of Charlton's cold dead hands today. more »
