Common Sense

For the past week my new little sister Kiddo has been staying with us.
After 24 years of being an only child, it is taking some adjustment. Especially since she tries really hard to make a lot of jokes and be really hyper. So I alternatingly get really mad at her and tell her to shut […]

Seeing as how people keep clicking on here, I should probably update you all on my life and what is going on.
Lot o’ pills: I’m taking about 40mgs of Vicodin a day now. My tolerance seems to have leveled off there and it covers me on good and bad days and is helping me do […]

I was at my doctor’s office today to get my new Vicodin script and go over some of the paperwork I have to have at next Friday’s meeting with the Social Security Disability people.
He told me that there can be a two-year donut between when you get declared “disabled” and when Medicare starts giving you […]

Space Monkey and I traveled all the way to the Bob Bullock Museum of Texas to watch the new Harry Potter movie. We must be dedicated, well, at least as dedicated as you can be without ever having read any of the books.
Believe me, it was worth the extra price of the tickets and the […]

I splurged and bought 2 tickets to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at the IMAX in 3-D for Saturday night. It’ll be me and Space Monkey painting Austin some paisley color for the night. It’s been far too long since we just went down and had some fun.

While driving down Franklin the other day I noticed a beautiful vintage Mustang at what I thought was a car dealership. I got so excited that Common Sense Mom actually drove my car over there the next day to talk trade on my 2002 Cavalier.
Turns out, it wasn’t for sale. It was actually at the […]

Many a fan is waiting for midnight Friday when they can purchase (legally) a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. They are speculating themselves into coronary disease over the fate of a fictional character. I myself am going to purchase a copy on Amazon.
I’m also headed to Wal-Mart after work to buy a […]

Then you may have noticed I used old school Frylock for my Drive-Thru review as my rating standard. Originally, the Aqua Teens were corporate mascots that had taken over the show on the old Space Ghost: Coast to Coast show (Episode Baffler Meal). I don’t think there was even a Meatwad at the time.
Anyway, anyone […]

The centerpiece art for tomorrow’s sports section was supposed to be local little leaguers. But the game has been rained out because of a massive downpour and the sports desk is scrambling to find something to replace it with.
I suggested we take all that Evan Almighty art that we ran in the features section not […]

Or murder, I’m not sure which it would be yet.
I’ve talked before about my doppleganger on this site and I’m sure you readers thought I was being paranoid or funny or whatever. The fact is, I’m not. For many years now I’ve been confused with him by many people and I’ve even seen him. We […]
