I have to sneak a quick post in. I’m at html training for work and we’re on a lunch break. This not having internet or cable at home is effing brutal. Sarah tried to save me by lending her laptop to me, but I’m too stupid to get its wireless internet to work in any of the downtown hotspots. Blimey. This html class is hopefully going to get more interesting as it progresses this week.…
Either chunks of sky or pig shit could be falling soon. Editor’s Note: I’m not in a charitable mood at the moment (I’ve got a raging headache and the Tylenol I took is stuck in my throat, taunting me), so please forgive the following very rude and incendiary things I’m about to say about religion. This disclaimer is sitting here to remind you that I cast a skeptical eye on all religions and don’t claim…
So Blogger has been having major server issues all day, and it wasn’t until an hour or two ago that I was able to access most of the blogspot blogs I frequent, except for this one, which was, apparently, a part of the group of blogs that remained completely inaccessible for an even longer amount of time. I was sure my brain droplets were lost forever in the ether. But here they are, back again,…

The little-known 17th commandment. So my attempt to get Strokes internet pre-sale tickets was foiled by a major network crash at 1:05. I was refreshing the page every few seconds to coax the “buy tickets” button to replace the “available soon” text. And lo and behold, the lights flickered and I got a ton of error messages and suddenly my internet went kaput and so did all my network applications. And by the time we…
Working in the news biz has totally fucked up my understanding of the space-time continuum. For example, I just asked a co-worker why we didn’t slap the Tennessee Bush speech story online last night instead of running it on the front page for tomorrow, seeing as how it’s old news. He was confused. With good reason. Because it didn’t happen until this afternoon. However, to me, it feels like the Tennessee speech was yesterday and…
Time Warner won’t be out to rewire/connect my cable/internet ’til the 16th. Yes, that’s not today, which is when they originally told me they’d be coming. That’s two weeks or so from today. Quite a difference. I’m not sure I can make it a whole two weeks without internet at home. I went without it for two whole days during the move this weekend, and when I got back to the connected world, I felt…
Today makes a full year I’ve been on the job. It also marks a whole year that I’ve not called in sick a single time. I’m particularly proud of this; I had a horrible attendence record in college, and had any of my professors stuck with their own “miss three classes and automatically fail” policies, I would not have a degree. I’ve also been asked to stay on overtime tonight. Someone called in sick. Heh.
I am tired and sore and irritable and all my shit is still in boxes, grouped in little islands in the new apartment. We got started at 9 a.m. on Sunday and brought the last box up at 9 p.m. last night (that’s Monday for those of you playing along at home). I was supposed to have internet by now but the cable guy came out and couldn’t hook it up because the cable box…
A day late, lots of dollars short. AppetizerChoose one: Popcorn, Pizza, Pretzels, Peanuts, or Pasta.Popcorn. Wish I had some now. SoupDescribe your personality in terms of a particular vehicle.Oh, hell. Seriously? I’m not creative enough to fake it. I don’t know anything about cars of any type, nor do I care enough to ascribe my personality traits to any cars, or vice versa. So let’s just say I’m a lot like my car (2000 Oldsmobile…
