Thursday, April 23, 2015. Entry 282: Scream Chasing. The topic of today's entry is a fascinating book I just finished: Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs. Is a website where you can find out more and get involved.). 1 The War on Drugs, Like All Prohibitions, Fosters Organized Crime. When Skinny Pete got held up at knife-point by those junkies?

Sunday, March 29, 2015. Entry 278: Fantasy Baseball Draft Preempts Blog Post. Documentary, and an early bedtime. Update: "Overall, it's a night a crossword puzzle, a 30 for 30 documentary, and an early bedtime." Apparently a paragraph of coherent writing was overly optimistic.]. Saturday, March 21, 2015. Entry 277: Madness . of the Child-Rearing and March Varieties. So that he will leave me alone. This is one of my son's new favorites: "I wanna watch 'Clippard' the big red dog."].

Thursday, June 4, 2015. Entry 288: Not-In-Grad-School-Anymore Moment. Me: We got an invitation for my cousin's wedding. It's June 6. Aw, that sucks. I guess we can't go, bad timing. Her: Why can't we go? Me: Well, you will be super pregnant, and then we will have to bring Lil' S, and that will be a nightmare. Her: Well, you could go by yourself. I'll watch Lil' S. Me: Yeah, but that won't work. I have the big trip out to visit the fam at the end of the month - remember? Her: Yeah, so? We can afford it.

Crocodile DG: Entry 238: Vacation Part II -- University Place
http://crocodiledg.blogspot.com/2014/06/entry-238-vacation-part-ii-university.html
Saturday, June 21, 2014. Entry 238: Vacation Part II - University Place. That I'm always trying to budget. And all (well, most) my friends are the same way. Remember when you lived within a ten mile radius of all your friends, and you'd all hang out and just be bored together because you had already gone to all the bars, played all the video games, hit up all the coffee shops, seen all the TV shows a million times? Osprey's nest on a structure at Chambers Bay]. Better than anything Seattle has to offer&#...

Crocodile DG: February 2015
http://crocodiledg.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 28, 2015. Entry 274: The Terrible Twos and Number Two. A lot going on these days both in my world and in the. World At the G and G household, Lil' S has full-on entered the terrible twos, which we have heard from friends and family are more like the terrible two-through-four-and-a-halfs. The general consensus seems to be that by five the random hissy fits and bouts of impossible intransigence become more the exception rather than rule. Two and a half more years: I can make it! On a sim...

Crocodile DG: Entry 176: Top Men
http://crocodiledg.blogspot.com/2013/04/entry-176-top-men.html
Monday, April 22, 2013. Entry 176: Top Men. So they caught and/or killed both suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing, but let's get to the more important stuff: Indiana Jones. This past weekend some cable station ran an Indian Jones. Marathon, and S and I got caught up watching a little Raiders of the Lost Ark. Like I said, lacking a bit in creativity. A bit of editing in this clip. The person who posted it removed the scene between Marion and Indiana I discuss below.]. Are you crazy, woman? For one thi...

Crocodile DG: Entry 280: Charlatans
http://crocodiledg.blogspot.com/2015/04/entry-280-charlatans.html
Sunday, April 12, 2015. Me: I might be a lot of things, but a charlatan is not one of them. My friend RW: Well then, I guess you shouldn't move to North Carolina. There is a scene in the 1994* film Pulp Fiction. In which John Travolta's character Vince is talking to his drug dealer Lance (played by Eric Stoltz) about how somebody keyed his Malibu, and he tells Lance the following:. I just wish I caught 'em doin' it, ya know? Or as Satan puts it in the South Park. What is evil anyway? I will leave you all...

Crocodile DG: Entry 289: Instant Calamity
http://crocodiledg.blogspot.com/2015/06/entry-298-instant-calamity.html
Saturday, June 13, 2015. Entry 289: Instant Calamity. You have heard of the John Lennon song "Instant Karma? I would have to spend all day in the airport. The thought of each of these outcomes was extremely disheartening. She did, and I turned and started to walk away, and then turned back: "Wait . what about my luggage? Oh You got luggage? Hmm Okay, I guess can put in a transfer request.". Yeah, it's just something we put in the system to do a transfer.". Yes It should.". It was the least confidence-ins...

Crocodile DG: Entry 290: How Had I Never Heard of This Guy Before?
http://crocodiledg.blogspot.com/2015/06/entry-299-how-had-i-never-heard-of-this.html
Saturday, June 20, 2015. Entry 290: How Had I Never Heard of This Guy Before? I have gotten really into watching. Somebody posted one on Facebook a few weeks ago (actually I linked to it in my last entry. And I liked it, so I started watching others. Then I started researching James Randi. This type of thing is right up my alley. I love seeing charlatans get exposed - perhaps too much so. As I said in one of my previous entries. The worst is "cold reading," which is where a person asks a bunch of questio...

Crocodile DG: January 2015
http://crocodiledg.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 31, 2015. Entry 270: Not So Super Sunday. And then you try to plug the TV hole - that void of emotional investment - with a show like Homeland. There's nothing wrong with Homeland -. It's a good show (except for the third season) - but coming off Breaking Bad. Then there are things that have nothing to do with football or Super Bowl parties or anything of the such that make it hard for me to get too. For me: I keep having this recurring image of Lil' S getting locked outside of his dayc...
