There’s a Time and a Place…

Reposted from one of my favorite blogs (gordonkeith.com): Apparently this woman was arrested while masturbating, watching porn and DRIVING. I can barely navigate the first two simultaneously.

Updike

Since I haven’t fixed my tech issues with the blog yet, I’ll write about a topic that requires no images: books.

The New York Times has a fantastic piece in the Arts Beat section about John Updike. It’s a very fascinating look into his relationships, both personal and professional. For those like myself who are interested in the inner-workings of literature, this article is a magical door to that world.

Technical Difficulties cont., and More Cool Shit I’ve Discovered

Well it looks like I’m going to have to reinstall WordPress and hope that fixes the issues I’m having. This reminds me of a time when a friend of mine in IT said, “Never upgrade if things are working.” That’s a pretty good mantra to live by.

On a side note, I’m now hopelessly in love with a new-to-me show called Californication. I’ve always liked David Duchovny, and I’ve always loved the self-indulgent, alcoholic, prig writer. This show makes me laugh out loud and point at the TV like a special needs kid who has just seen his first airplane. It has sex (lots of tit shots in the first three episodes), booze, fights and some crazy-funny plot developments. Californication now holds a special spot in my Netflix Instant Queue. God bless hedonism.

This blog would be better if I could post a sample boob shot.

Technical Difficulties

Having some small issues with the new WordPress upgrade (can’t insert images into my posts). Once I get this ironed out, I’ll be back up and running.

Thanks!

2011 Harley Davidsons, Double Rainbow?

Wow, OK. I’m hoping that the photos don’t do these colors justice, because frankly the 2011 Harleys look like poo. With the exception of the white, red, and black standards, the new models are just gaudy. A yellow V-Rod?? Seriously? You’d look like you were riding a magic banana. And the Slurpie blue isn’t much better.

Now maybe when I see the bikes at the Cycle World show I’ll feel better about them. But now I’m glad I still can’t afford a Harley. Maybe next year they’ll go back to something a little less flamboyant.

Vacation

Been gone for a few days, so no new posts. Will give complete details of my California trip once I’ve recovered from: sunburn, sore back, and sunburn. In the meantime, here’s something to enjoy.

Harley, Tired of Union Labor Costs?

I hope I don’t get flamed by pro-union workers, but I’ve lived my entire life in a right-to-work state (you can get fired, but you can also walk out). So, from my perspective this could be a good thing. It should, theoretically, drive down the price of Harleys. But, I’m not holding my breath. I’d truly be shocked if HD left Milwaukee.

After 107 years in Milwaukee, Harley could leave

Babes of Sci Fi, Part I

One of the great things about the Sci Fi genre is that it’s full of babes (sometimes they’re green, but hey it’s hard to be picky when you’re light years from a starbase). I didn’t want to do a list, ’cause then I’d have to rank them, and that’s really hard to do and I’m super lazy. So, I’m going to just compile some posts of my favorite babes. Let’s start with a couple of TV hotties.

Billie Piper, Rose Tyler

Fancy Billie Piper?

Billie Piper
From the first and second seasons of the new Doctor Who series (9th and 10th Doctor respectively) Billie Piper, as Rose Tyler, is amazing! She’s easily the hottest companion The Doctor has ever had. She is funny, sexy and very good in a pinch when the Cybermen or Daleks showed up.  Sadly, Rose is now trapped in another dimension, with a non-Time Lord version of The Doctor, and will never return to to our world.

At least Billie Piper really exists on our plane of existence. Please do Playboy. Please do Playboy!

Kristin Kreuk Smallville

Lois Lane who?

Kristin Kreuk
Kristin, as Lana Lang, was the only good thing about that piece of crap Smallville. I bailed on that show after the first season. Um, let’s make a show about Superman but he can’t fly, and he doesn’t have his costume. But he does have all the girls chasing him, and he pouts a lot and there’s some kissing, some crappy EMO music and Lex Luthor (Sounds like Dawson’s Creek: The Krypton Years).

I will say this though: Canadians sure have some good DNA running around up there (this will be evident again in a future post). Kreuk’s acting abilities were good enough for Smallville, but I’m really wanting to see her pop up in something else. I think she’d make a good Catwoman or maybe an X-Man. Time will tell. Hope she doesn’t end up making porn—oh wait, yes I do!

This is a fun blog about motorcycles, music, art, literature and anything else that comes into my crazy brain.
