Hubris- What’s in a name?

You’d be proud.  For lunch, I had a banana and a handful of beef jerky.

On the other hand, for breakfast I had two eggs and a bratwurst rolled up in a flour tortilla. It was after I took the dog for a walk in the woods, though.

Hopefully, I came out ahead.  We’ll see.

I really do appreciate everyone’s advice- all of it. All the stuff that I already have heard and all the stuff that sounds different and engaging.  It’s gonna take all of it for me to break the old habits and make some new ones.  I should have brought it up sooner.

I need to eat better.  Anyone want to share strategies for eating less?  There’s probably something that’ll really click with me, but darned if I know what it is yet.

Yeah, I know that has nothing to do with today’s cartoon, but seriously… I trust you guys to know stuff I don’t.

Hubris- Crazy Money

Kelly’s not as mercenary as he seems.  It’s just… crazy money folds as many times as sane money.

That’s my new aphorism.

It doesn’t mean anything much, so I predict it will become very widely used and oft repeated.

 

Also, Project Wonderful is about to go belly-up.  If you have ever discovered new webcomics to read by checking out the Project Wonderful ads I have on the site, you might wanna try out a couple more until the second week of next month, which, I gather, is about it for the ol’ PW. *sigh*

Comeuppance.  I should look that word up.  I bet it’s origin is fascinating.

Hubris- Running Plan

Bicycle lanes.  Do they double well as unicycle lanes and skateboard lanes?  Well, around here, they CAN, but sadly, it really depends more on the jackass quotients of  bicyclers and car drivers.

Hubris- a Mess of Stress

I went to see Solo this evening.

I like Star Wars.  I was 11 when the first one came out, which was the perfect age for that movie. I even saw the Star Wars TV Christmas special-  The one that a lot of people don’t quite believe was ever made now.

Unlike, apparently, some people that get themselves in the news, I’m not angered by much in movies.  I don’t insist that all movies are made for me to like, and I’m probably less discriminating that many film aficionados.  I mean, I don’t even hate Waterworld, and that one didn’t seem to suit much of anybody.

Even so, though.  If they make a JarJar Binks movie, I don’t think I’ll bother to go.

You have to assume that these little competitions never really come out in Hubris’ favor.

One wonders what he’s up to.

Hubris- Party Time

If you grew up reading MAD magazine, you have a sense of Nick Meglin, who edited MAD for a long time.

He died a couple of days ago, a week after I saw him last. He wasn’t the kind of guy who would graciously accept glowing words of praise. He was clever and sarcastic and sharp, and I’m dearly, deeply, genuinely grateful to have known him for the last twelve or so years, though I can’t imagine saying that to his face or what his hilarious, dismissive reply would have been.

The best way I’ve thought to express it is that, in the moments when we had his attention, he made us each feel we were kings, that we had such a fine court jester to mock us so perfectly.

And the world is diminished without him.

Hubris- Miller Time

The tricky thing about alcohol- and I’m not the first to say this by any stretch of the imagination- is that it takes away your ability to make considered decisions about time.

I think it was Dennis Miller in one of his Rants books who described having another drink and another, all the while whittling away the hours you intend to sleep before you go to work the next morning.  Something along the lines of “Well, I meant to go home an hour ago and get some sleep, and if I leave now, then I could still get five hours before I have to get up… but if I stay another two hours, and skip my shower… Bartender, another round!”

Knowing you have a day and a half to mop up your daily life before a large and time-consuming job, what would YOU do?
