New House Pre-Drywall Meeting

Posted by Chief Oddball on Tuesday, October 31st, 2006 in Life

Today we had our pre-drywall meeting with the field manager and design coordinator on our new house. I admit to feeling a fair amount of stress in recent days regarding all things real estate related, including some issues I was having with the exterior color we’d chosen for the home. I’m happy to [...]

At Least It Would Have Been Interesting

Posted by Chief Oddball on Sunday, October 29th, 2006 in Headlines

It’s a long story how I actually happened upon this, but over at Unexplainable.net, there’s a little (rather poorly-written) article on how Michigan is one of the most haunted states in the country. Early on, you’ll find this paragraph:

When passing through the city of Dearborn, you will find the Divine Child High School holds [...]

Keeping Upbeat

Posted by Chief Oddball on Tuesday, October 24th, 2006 in Life

Maintaining a positive attitude? Well, it’s not an act reserved just for those corny motivational posters. I approached this day with an upbeat frame of mind and I swear it’s been one of the best days I’ve had in weeks.
Actually, this sorta started last night, ironically after a rather lousy morning. I [...]

Hello, My Name Is _________

Who am I? In the last few days, you might have gotten a different answer from me depending on when you’d asked. Between Apple and I, it feels like we’ve accomplished more in the last 48 hours than either of us usually gets done in a week. I haven’t posted anything here [...]

Holden Homage

Posted by Chief Oddball on Wednesday, October 18th, 2006 in Cars, GTO

Eons ago, I had a poll on here asking people what message they thought I should put on the personalized license plate I was going to order for my new GTO. I’d had a plate on my Trans Am that read BJ’S WS6 for many years but wanted something a little “smarter” this time [...]

Happy Stuff

Posted by Chief Oddball on Sunday, October 15th, 2006 in Life

Things were looking rather dismal for a while there last week, and while our problems have far from melted completely away, at least now Apple and I have a plan and we’re executing it. We’re getting stuff done and feeling like we’re going somewhere, and while sometimes the crushing weight of all these responsibilities [...]

He’s Got The Touch

I was browsing the Agony Booth forums today and saw this little gem:
Stan Bush Working On Possible New Song For Transformers Movie
All I have to say is: YEEEAAAAAAHHH, YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAH!
Also: WILFORD BRIMLEY OATMEAL SLAM!
Edit: This is the ultimate in cheesy, bad ’80s music videos. That means, of course, that it’s probably the greatest thing ever.

I’ve Sold Myself Out!

I’ve put advertising on Oddball Update! Oh dear God!
Well, at least it’s not LinkExchange or some retro-grade ’90s trendy crap like that (does LinkExchange even still exist?). I’ve decided to post an ad for our house on this site, in the hopes that it may drive even a few more eyeballs to it. [...]
