OMG. This week's #ThrowbackThursday was just a screenshot of an entry in the blog from October 2002. I remember, I lol'd and jotted down this exchange between Riker and Data on Star Trek: The Next Generation . The episode was The Naked Now, which was (I looked it up) the 3rd episode of Season 1. It's a Diaryland post . This is it, this is the whole blog post. Hey, this blog stuff is going to be great when my memory goes. On a related t…
On August 13th I put up a #ThrowbackThursday post on Facebook. It threw all the way back to March 22, 1946. That's the day Grandpa DiPoala was Honorably Discharged from the army. James DiPoala had been, in the parlance of his time, "shell shocked." That's a term that originated during World War I to describe PTSD, and my grandfather came back from WW2 suffering from anxiety, depression, tremors and the inability to speak. He di…
“So
many of my friends post about how they feel about the present economy. I
wonder how they would feel if, in the future, they were one of the
fortunate ones who was earning a lot more money. Would you still be
angry with them for having more than you? Would you still think they
should pay more than they are now? Would you still think your money
should support those who don’t have, because they aren’t ambitious as
you?” (August 24th, 201…
Well you guys, unpacking is going sloooowly. And weirdly. For example, I haven't unpacked my mouse pad, of all things. I thought I packed it in my laptop bag where it would be right handy, but it wasn't in there when we got here and I set up my desk. Weird. I can't find it. However, I did find my high school/college journal. Right, like that was useful. BUT! As it happens, the journal makes an excellent mouse pad. It's the fabric …
OMG you guys. I posted this old entry back in 2015, as a Throwback to an old Diaryland entry from 2003. This is a funny story from the old apartment! LOL! Like we frequently say to each other, "We have been together a looooong tiiiiime." So Joe's been playing Army Men on
the Playstation. If you haven't seen this thing, it's this old school
video game where you play as green plastic army men, and you wage war
against the t…
On July 22, 2008 my friends started to lob "movie spoilers" at each other. Here's the list.
It was a sled.
It was earth all along.
He WAS Kaiser Soze.
He was dead the whole time.
He's actually Luke's father.
They shoot the dog.
She leaves Rick and escapes the Nazis.
It's people!
She's a dude.
His wife's head is in the box
It was really the Nihilist chick's toe.
He survives the zombies and is killed by a redn…
There's a story behind how I even got this photo. It's from September 2015 after our Mel Torme 90th Birthday party. #AfterTheParty
This is an old Joe Show webisode , the first one we did featuring a guest, in the form of one Ian Adams. I love this one, even with all the flubs and silliness!
Just How Big We Talkin'? And How Easy? I can't focus on work today. How the shit am I expected to focus on work today when tomorrow at this time I'll be in New Orleans, a whole city I've never visited and always lusted after? New Orleans. N'awlins. The Big Easy. With my fascination with death and penchant for the unexplainable things that lurk in the dark corners of the world, I am of course drawn to the history of the p…
Ten years ago this week! Seems like only a hundred years ago this week. (I'm so tired).
Today's #Throwback is a photo snapped by Joe at our polling place, as he does. I think I have a photo of myself at most polls for the past 16 years since I got myself a Joe. Speaking of 2012 , is anyone else wondering just how strange it will be
to see Mitt Romney as a Senator now? I actually think he'll do okay as
soon as he uploads the Senator program into his central processing unit. Fucking Mitt Romney, am I right? 𛱠

Throwing back to my 2007 interview with Jonathan Spottiswoode. - md [EXCERPT] Spottiswoode: Ah, the performing monkey syndrome. Lexi, it’s all about
feeling alive. We all go through life in a numb state most of the time.

reasons. But mostly just to feel alive, to feel that they are
