The word “analysis” has the letters A-N-A-L in it because it’s a pain in the ass, but some people enjoy it anyway.
Information isn’t nearly as loud
Napoleon Bonaparte: “War is ninety percent information.”
Me: “The other ten percent is blowing shit up.”

Marvel’s words ring true
On Facebook, I occasionally get little updates from Marvel Comics (usually cover art for upcoming issues) and saw one this morning that just… the grammar police in my head wanted to go rogue, raid Marvel’s office and start popping caps in editors’ asses. The cover was for 5 Ronin #2 and the upper right corner made this prophetic statement:
“I’m afraid you will be disappointed. But then, all life is but a preparation for being dissapointed.”

Almost time to take out the earplugs
I just want to wish everyone a very merry “End of Christmas music in 2010” weekend. It’s about frickin’ time.

A quarter century and counting
Today was Jeremy Gustafson’s 25th birthday party. Two days ago, I also thought that today was supposed to bring freezing rain and seriously hazardous road conditions. Normally, that wouldn’t be a big deal, although there wouldn’t be as many guests at the party, but that doesn’t account for the last few years when his birthday has brought heavy snow, ice and pretty much everything but frozen gerbils falling from the sky. If that rain had come down tonight, we might have started wondering if God didn’t want Jeremy to celebrate his birthday anymore. Or maybe our eating at IHOP was enough of a punishment, I’m not sure.
There were also a few quotes worth sharing (there were a lot, really, but only a few that make sense without worrying about context):
“I stay out of trailer parks. That’s Cracker City.”
“It’s funny how talking about sterility can kill a conversation.”
“To pronounce the name ‘Marissa’, just pretend you’re a Chinese person saying ‘Melissa’.” (I’m probably going to Hell for that one, but it sounded really funny when I said it.)
