Cast
Here’s a quick list of folks you may see referenced on the blog, in no particular order:
The Ratboy – My son, currently aged 20, and following somewhat in my footsteps by being an aspiring geek.
Pookie – My daughter, currently aged 8. The original Aryan Baby. If I could get her to run on a treadmill, I could attach a generator to it and sell power back to PGE.
The World’s Best Girl Friend has been with me for well over a year now, and hasn’t run away screaming. Apparently working in a library has given her the skills necessary for putting up with my shit. :) Have I mentioned how lucky I am?
B:TfNG – formerly BtFR, as in Former Roomate, now The (former) Neighbor Guy. A computer programmer I met when I lived in Las Vegas, he moved up here just a few months before I did. Is known for doing crazy shit like eating fire during a stand-up routine at Ren Faires.
Greyduck, AKA The Roomie – my current roommate, of several years. Now also my co-worker, he handles our Help Desk (calls and Admin duties). His Geek-Fu is strong.
The Physicist – called thusly due to his ability to bend the laws thereof while playing pool. Staunch member of the Sunday Game-night squad and (apparently) good swing-dancer.
The Maestro – Sunday Gamer, music student, day-care provider, and also known to swing dance.
Trouble and Zoe – my feline masters.
Tweaker – resident rodent (passed away 12-11-2005).
The Little Black Beastie – my 1987 Chevy Cavalier RS. Yes, it does count as a cast member. Or at least it did up until I traded it in for a silver Kia Optima in Jan. 2007.
The H.S. Golightly, AKA Holly – the 2004 Kia Optima. Much less likely to be a cast member, but she does have a picture here on the blog.
