Every year I dread Christmas.
Why?
Mandatory gift giving. I absolutely hate being forced to give gifts people don’t like or pretending to be happy about receiving gifts that I don’t really want or need.
Don’t get me wrong: Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. Â I love the food, trees, decorations, spirit, and even the music. Â … read more “The Grinch Returns”
A man killed 4 Lakewood cops yesterday and apparently tried to hide out at his house in Leschi afterwards, just a few blocks away from Taras house. Police surrounded the house and raided it, but the killer wasn’t there. They are currently searching the surrounding area.

VD is coming to pick me up from sea-tac through rush hour traffic, then going to get food and beer. Going to be fun!
I have had nothing to eat today since this morning. Ravenous doesn’t even begin to describe my appetite. The people walking around me look like tasty lumps of meat. Visions of baby tartare, ab jerky and human filet mignon are starting to appear to me. I am about to turn tribal.
At least they have food in prison.… read more “Hungry”
