Weekend Vacation

June 25, 2006October 1, 2011 Chief Oddball 3 Comments

Apple and I just returned from our weekend vacation, which we spent at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort in Vero Beach, FL. Actually, we’re still there as I write this — it’s Saturday night, our final evening here, and I felt like writing an update to post when I get home.

You can thank Pooch for the idea for this one. 😀

Classic Star Trek, Classic Reference

Please excuse me for this, but I happened across something this evening that reminded me of an age-old inside joke (that only my friends will get), and promptly wasted half an hour assembling this ridiculous comic of sorts in honor of it.

San Francisco Treat

Japantown Banners After a bit of a vacation of its own, fresh content returns to Oddball Update. This is really the first significant post I’ve made since Apple and I returned from our three-day visit to San Francisco — not counting the extra day on either end that was spent travelling to and from California by way of Dallas, TX.

Watching From Afar

So here we are, in Detroit, watching on TV as Greta van Susteren stands and delivers from Naples, FL. She is using her trademark maundering style to tell us all that Florida is about to get “punished” and asking weirdly paranoid questions of her weather expert guests about how long she has until Naples becomes ground zero.

Escape From Naples

…Not starring Kurt Russell. Well, rather than risk unnecessary damage to ourselves, we’ve decided that we are going to leave the area before Wilma shows up. We were thinking about taking a little week-long trip to Michigan this fall anyway, so we decided to just turn this whole damn thing into a vacation.

Attack of the Miscellany

April 2, 2005October 26, 2011 Chief Oddball

It’s unwarranted! It’s irrelevant! It’s miscellaneous! That’s this Oddball entry, 1960s movie poster style. Sometimes I have used Classic Oddball as a vehicle for notes to myself, or as a means to set “life waypoints” that I can use later to glean a timeframe around which certain things happened to me.

Awesome 1:18 Scale KITT!

March 4, 2005October 7, 2011 Chief Oddball

Many thanks to Reaper who got me the bloody awesome 1:18 scale diecast KITT replica for my birthday! It just arrived today, so naturally I unpacked it and set it up on my shelf next to my computer, where all of my favorite die-casts go (including the 1973 “Eleanor” Mustang).

Saturday Night’s All Right…

…For sitting around totally wasting time! No, not for fighting. What? You were expecting me to say “fighting?” My, aren’t you strange. A little while ago, Apple bought me an early Valentine’s Day / birthday present: the latest album from J-pop group Round Table, featuring the vocal talents of Nino.

Enterprise Cancelled

February 4, 2005October 7, 2011 Chief Oddball

The cast of Enterprise “Star Trek: Enterprise…has been cancelled.” Okay, you were supposed to be hearing the voice of the Wildfire central computer from The Andromeda Strain as you read that line. If you didn’t, your nerd index is insufficient to continue reading this site, so…oh, who am I kidding.
