Sideways

I finally rented Sideways [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0375063/] last night.

Two losers, one week, no God, lots of wine. The wine pretension on

The Weekend Eudemon

Ah, the crisping month. You can feel it in the air, especially in the mornings and evenings. It's one of my favorite times of the year. I'm not a hot weather fan. My perfect day: 74 and partly sunny, just coming off an early morning sprinkle,

The Bad Back

I heard a great story this morning while at the courthouse, related to yesterday's post about the meth bust [https://thedailyeudemon.com/4981/]. A local guy was busted for possessing a half pound of marijuana. His defense? It was for personal use (which lessens the criminal culpability). He

I assume everyone has heard this by now, but just in case (this story [http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/08/30/060830154354.iu5zx114.html] is too good not to mention): > Her "loving" husband emerged pretty well, but her "control freak" of a sister-in-law is

E-mail Gone Wild

> RadioShack Corp. notified about 400 workers by e-mail that they were being dismissed immediately as part of planned job cuts. Link [http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2006/08/30/financial/f131351D00.DTL] . You don't need McLuhan [https://thedailyeudemon.com/?p=374#respond] to
