W. t. Nix

I think the last time I saw someone try to put back a missed dunk while hanging from the rim was in the mid-1990s. That doesn't mean it hasn't happened since then, but it does mean that most people are aware you shouldn't do it.

Losing it

I moved into my condo/apartment 6 weeks ago. A few household items were left behind by the previous tenant and/or the landlord: a dish rack, a trash can, a shower curtain, etc.

Just now, while watching the MSU-Purdue basketball game, I glanced at my patio and said, "I have a grill?"

I need to stop getting home from work after dark.

Batman and Robin

You may have heard of this movie. It was on TNT tonight. Having noticed a definite downhill trend in the three Batman movies that preceded it, and having heard claims that this movie was responsible for the lack of any live-action Batman movies for eight years or so, I decided to see just how bad it could be. It lived up to its reputation quite well, I must say. It is not the worst movie I have ever seen, but it may be worst with a $140 million budget. That's a lot of money.

I chronicled my reactions to the movie as it unfolded, in case anyone is interested:

Okay, that's it

I already tried to rationalize your decisions once, Norway. I'm not going to do it again.

Something I left out of that last post

OW, I BURNED MY HAND!

...at night.

(hopefully the last time I'll have an excuse to say that)

PROTIP #2

If you're pan-searing a steak, and you pre-heated the pan in the oven, and you notice that the oil on the pan has pooled on one side, DON'T TRY TO PICK UP THE PAN AND TILT IT WITH A BARE HAND.

Either I am too stupid to live, or I have a subconscious death wish and am a genius.

Ow.

Unwoot

I almost got a breakfast of champions today, but the server went down when I clicked the link to buy.
