I'm sorry, I meant to post that at Black Shiny Bug. Everything works over there, and that's where new posts are supposed to go. And I know it's kind of a hassle, but could you maybe bookmark that instead of this?

My computer died last week, but I got a spanking new laptop yesterday, with Vista. So far, I see no problems with Vista and the laptop rocks moltencore. I obviously am not yet able to transfer files from the deceased, so I have to find and bookmark all of my old favorites (except those in the blogroll). No Big Deal. Of course, the first thing I must do is set my homepage to Chapel Perilous, so I

Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles TV Series, Fox I initially snorted at the idea of a series based on the Terminator movie franchise because, really, how far can you take that storyline? But because I enjoy the Sci-Fi, we decided to give the pilot a whirl and see it lives up to the hype of the commercials. One point of curiosity, Summer Glau from the an excellent sci-fi series that died

I finally caught the bug enough that I decided to resume blogging regularly, for now in the most hassle-free environment I could find — namely Blogspot. I’ll still be posting the really Chapel-friendly stuff over here when I find it, though.The new digs, as such, are at the impulsively-titled MumbleMumbleCoffee.Drop on by and say howdy if I’ve seemed in the past to display any erudition at all.

[Note: I lived with my father and brothers within a stone’s throw of the 15/78 interchange from August ’97 until December ’98, and that family unit still calls the area home.]I often question the wisdom I expressed in my decision to move back to Portland when I did.However, for the umpteenth time since leaving San Diego, I’m glad I was decisive about leaving.It stands to reason that classes at

Chapel Perilous will soon be closing it's doors and sinking into the depths of the cold, black sea. What started out many years ago as a personal weblog eventually became a community effort and was quite lively. Well, save for Ben, that community is gone, our members busy with their own projects, or even life itself. When something isn't fun any more, it's time to move on. CP is a broken

WE GIVE UP Yep, we're moving. Blogger has been very unkind to Caiterwauling and our parent website Chapel Perilous. Several times, Blogger has locked Miko out entirely. Recently, I was blocked from publishing, but that got fixed. Right now, Miko can't post (again) and NO ONE can comment or see comments previously left. As you can see, spammers took over the comments here. On both websites

While channel surfing, I stopped on a repeat of "Chuck", an average geek who has government secrets locked in his head. Mildly interested, I remained to watch a "doctor" conduct an experiment involving identifying pictures. Something goes off in his head and he begins to recite some of those government secrets. In his outburst, he clearly says "Oceanic Flight 815 was shot down by...." A LOST

Cp comments have been highjacked by spammers. One more reason this blog should just die already. Maybe I'm being punished for so many angry, bitter posts. Well, I USED to post alot more interesting things, but time and attention doesn't really allow any more. I won't close it entirely; that's a cop-out.

On Homosexuality: What's the big frikkin' deal? The only reason that anyone rallies against gay people is that they harbor secret gay thoughts themselves. So what? I don't think "gay or straight" black and white; I think people are varying degrees of gay. Some are fllllllaaaaaming, others bury it behind football parties and UFC matches. Gay couples would have all the rights as hetero couples,

Two questions while watching the Democratic Debate: Why is staunch, unblinking support of Israel a "fundamental tenet" of US foreign policy? Why does the US get to decide who can, and cannot, develop nuclear technology?

Griffin's Emmy Remarks to Be Censored The Catholic League, an anti-defamation group, called on the TV academy to "denounce Griffin's obscene and blasphemous comment" at Sunday's ceremony. It's only blasphemous if you are a Cult Member, but it was obscene, and I applaud her for that. But the funniest thing on the Emmys was Sally Field, who spent the entire 2 1/2 hours trying to keep her war

Lie lie bullshit lie bullshit bullshit lie lie nukular bullshit lie. The thing that pisses me off most about Bush, aside from all the lies, and that he is responsible for more deaths than had occurred on 9/11, is that he is either unaware, or doesn't care about the worldwide contempt for him.

Leave Britney Alone! I had to post it because it CAN'T be real. If it is, there are obviously deeper personal issues involved. Update: after a bit of research, Holy Crap, that's a guy. Chris Crocker, to be precise. "He" is already well-known as a drama queen on the You Tube, so it's probably just an act. BUT.....all the cable news shows are playing this, so he's getting the attention he wanted.
