What Charles Dickens’ Day means to me.

|
Charles Dickens’ Day, I thought you would never arrive.
For years, my family and I have celebrated CDD together. February 7, 2008 will mark the first CDD without them, as my parents both passed in an unfortunate car accident last July. My sister and I have looked forward to CDD since the funeral, as it gives us a chance to celebrate what made our family different from most and to carry on the traditions our parents taught us.
We would always start the day with scrambled eggs, and the process of procuring the eggs from the carton was what made it special. As a nod to Sydney Carton, as each egg was taken from the carton of eggs, we would say, “It is a far, far better egg that I scramble, than I have ever scrambled; it is a far, far better breakfast that I make, than I have ever made.” Read the rest of this entry »
Looking back with a discerning eye

You ever have one of those moments where suddenly you realize that something from your childhood is insanely messed up?
I was walking from the bedroom to the living room yesterday, humming a song that doesn’t usually come to mind: Jesus Loves Me. I can’t even tell you the last time I heard this song. But there I was, walking and humming. Then I started singing it. And then I realized…
OH. MY. GOODNESS. What in the WORLD did they have us singing as children?!?
What did you pay for “In Rainbows”?
A contribution from the mind of ZachAction. All of RationReality is one collective screaming ZA fangirl!
So when Radiohead released their new album on their website a few weeks ago and let you pay whatever you want, what did you pay? I paid eight bucks and I never pay for ANYTHING anymore. I’m so used to illegally downloading things for free, I am now sometimes dismayed and outraged that I actually have to still pay for things, like a new sofa. But I paid eight bucks for “In Rainbows” and I probably would have paid a little more if I had known how much I’d like it, but after “Hail to the Thief,” who knew?
My point in all this is that my music is available for free all the time on my website, www.zachaction.com. For Christ’s sake, go download the album “Dinner at Michigan’s” already.
That really is my main point, but I’ll throw something else in. Read the rest of this entry »
Catcher in the Rye is a real good book
Zach Action has written a follow up to my very own bagelicious book review: J.D. Salinger is Naked. I love this man.

Gary Coleman: Model Railroader, Model American
Our brave friend, Zach Action has accepted an assignment.

Gary Coleman is a huge model train enthusiast. If you don’t believe me, you can look it up. Apparently the word “addiction” is appropriate, as he has spent thousands and thousands upon thousands (literally THOUSANDS) of dollars on the hobby. Read the rest of this entry »
The Wooden Rose
Ever wonder who makes up those urban legends? Our friend Zach Action, that’s who!
One night a cute girl was at a club. She was dancing and having a good time when a very handsome man came up to her. “You are looking hot” he said and they danced. After a while, they started to get closer and then he said “If I don’t kiss you right now I will die.” They kissed and she thought it was the best kiss ever in her life. Read the rest of this entry »
TLDR Biographies: Thomas Edison
A contribution from the mind of ZachAction. All of RationReality is one collective screaming ZA fangirl!
Thomas Edison holds like ten million patents. BFD. Oooh, he created lightbulbs. Well guess what, GOD created light, and what credit does He get? That’s not even my point. Don’t get me started on God’s lack of props.
Anyway, Thomas Edison was A) a racist, B) a pedophile, and C) an alcoholic. I could have invented the telegraph too if I had enough sex with minors. Read the rest of this entry »
