Calling all coders

Some stray coding has popped up and made itself visible in IE and Firefox. I don’t see the same thing in Safari at home. And I have briefly looked through the template code to see if I could find the culprit, to no avail. So if any of you html wizzes out there get a spare moment, why don’tcha look at my source code and see if you can find what the hell is causing…

From Twisty’s craw

I have loved I Blame the Patriarchy from the day Aunt B instructed her readers to leap links and take a gander. And now, she of Twisty Faster fame has written something so perfect in its snarkalicious sincerity that I can only pass it along to you (using my new blockquote format, by the way) in the hopes that it will make your chest swell with pride as it did mine: As I was saying,…

The truth

It snowed for about seven minutes today. Everyone at work got on the phone and called other people in town to ask if it was snowing where they were. I had a good time this weekend. Saw Brokeback Mountain*, visited the Lorraine Motel on Martin Luther King Day, got my ass handed to me in Scrabble, and got Joey and Marie lost in some squalor for a good half hour. An all-around success. I even…

Fuck the bullshit, it’s time to floss

Yeah, I don’t really care if it’s true or not. I…

You never see my feet ’cause they move so fast

I am the last person on earth to weigh in on this James Frey crapola, which, for whatever reason, has incited a widespread outrage he likes of which I cannot recall ever witnessing before. I just want to remind everyone that we’re talking about an author who fudged the details of a memoir. A writer who wrote some things that weren’t true about his ultimately inconsequential life as a junkie. It’s bad, sure, and unfortunate,…

Freddy Krueger does not eat lettuce

It’s true. So says the busboy(man?)/chip deliverer at El Mezcal. Randomly. To the man at the register while we’re paying for our check. At least that’s what Phil thinks he said. My jury’s still out, playing in the fountain in front of the courthouse. So Joey and Marie are here. We sat and shot the shit for an hour or so before I had to come to work. Tomorrow we’re going downtown to check out…
