Question time: what was YOUR favorite Christmas present of all time, and why? The Lovely and Talented Judith and I engaged in one of our Christmas traditions last night: decorating our tree while imbibing eggnog and watching “The Muppets Christmas Carol” playing in the background. God save my little broken body. I’m not entirely sure […]

Last London thoughts: Late night, Waterloo bridge. A drunkard runs across the road, apparently randomly, bringing the Number 188 bus I am on to a sudden, shocking, sickening stop. The driver pulls over, and we wait…and wait…for an ambulance to come to check on some of the passengers. “There’d better be blood on the front, […]

Jetlag is VERY weird this trip. Not sure why I’ve yet to be able to break it. Indeed, it’s doing a darn fine job of breaking me. ***** My dad continues to do GREAT. Thanks for all the well-wishes. ***** London seems Pie mad. There are gourmet pies, square pies, Cornish pasties…every corner you turn, […]

Wow. Just…WOW. Two things learned: Dorkstock organizer Slev does not take praise well, but he he SHOULD. He did a MAGNIFICENT job organizing Dork Stock UK II. Holy cow. Along with Jinnie’s help, this was a day to remember. Met up with a ton of LJ users (thanks for introducing yourselves, everyone), and sold out […]

Ok. I’m briefly out of hiding and coming up for air. Just wanted to say a VERY heartfelt “thank-you” to EVERYONE for all the Birthday wishes and cheer. It meant an awful lot to me. Seriously, you guys rock. Also big thanks to some really cool folks who sent some really special presents and cards. […]

I don’t do birthdays well. Seriously. So, I’ll just leave you with today’s cartoon, and go and hide for a couple of days. John PS. Um…because of the holiday and the workload and all, I hope folks don’t mind if a couple of Unspeakable Oafs run on the Dork Tower web site this coming Thursday […]

Can’t…get…Nirvana’s…”Smells Like Teen Spirit” out of my @$%!#@!!! head now. I have nobody to blame but myself. Honestly, I just drew Today’s Cartoon to show Igor moshing to the words “Halo Halo Halo Halo.” Which was fun and cool and came out exactly like I wanted, and I love Nirvana…BUT… …now…no matter HOW much Aimee […]

It’s less than a week to my birthday (the 24th, thanks for asking), and I’m thinking of just not doing anything. What I want to do is have my entire group of friends over for a fab time. But said group has kind of been spiralling away from one another like the arms of a […]
