The Stockings Were Hung….

The stockings were hung by the replica statue of David with care, in hopes that his nuts would not be too visible in the cold winter air. Making sure things are hung for Christmas seems to be the easy part of things, the more challenging is arranging a holiday event that is consistent with the […]

Terra Cotta Bliss

I had some fun tonight with my clay. I once again got pissed off at the earthenware because it is just simply stiff if you dont have 2 hours to spend working it over, so I did 1 earthenware piece followed by a terra cotta piece. I was impressed with how well the terra cotta […]

Blog Engines Need to Be More Complex

Movable Type is starting to bug me. I don’t have a consistent blogging pattern, some days I blog 5 times, sometimes i wait 2 weeks between posts, and I have to pick between a number of posts to leave on the main page (usually 5) or a number of days to leave up (usually 10), […]

Another Quote

Now I must ask… is it the homosexuals or the heterosexuals who are unnatural? “we [humans] are the only species in which men [males] and women [females] copulate face-to-face”

Fighting Against Familial Divisibility

My family drives me so nuts sometimes! Today I found out that there is a competetion in place between my anual Christmas event at home and my cousin’s arrival in Myrtle Beach. My event has been planned unofficially for almost a year, but officially for a few months. I have done everything short of sending […]

Curtis E-mail Changes

After many strange looks and much bitching from people about my email structure, it has chaged. The someuser*@curtis.kularski.net stuff is in the past for my personal email. My organizational, public and automated email stuff will still run through the old schema. My personal contacts will now be given a new, single address to use for […]

Chancellor’s View of Academia

“a university president or chancellor has to do only three things to be successful: to provide parking for the faculty and staff, sex and beer for the students, and a winning football team for the alumni.” – Phillip DuBois, UNCC Chancellor Interesting isn’t it?
