Well howdy, y’all
If you are coming here from PassiveAggressiveNotes.com, welcome! If you stick around, I’m sure you’ll find plenty of passive-aggressivity, but I am Southern, so it’s actually quite charming! Do stick around, and don’t mind the cat making biscuits on your crotch.
Behold, yet another redesign
I should really stop redesigning my blog at 4 in the morning, but I can’t help it! I was checking up on all the Memphis blogs today — clicking through, not using my reader — when I noticed the lovely Ms. Lemonslush‘s snazzy theme and got serious theme envy. It is rare that I find a WordPress theme that I really, really like. And yet Bueno seems to be a solid, well-built, FREE theme with…
Taming of the shrew
That sound you hear is this week sucking the life out of me. It’s been … not great. Apparently my karmic retribution for being in a horrible mood midweek was to turn the tail end of the week into my own private failfest at work. I got called on the carpet for my participation in this conversation, and I can’t say I don’t see why. I’m an asshole! I don’t mince words! I speak to…
The internet still has the capacity to surprise and disgust me, oddly
See this photo? I titled it “neck veins” for obvious reasons. Someone called “veinale” on Flickr favorited it tonight. I clicked through to veinale’s profile and found this (probably NSFW unless you work at a nipple clamp factory). (One of veinale’s contacts is nudedude840, whose photostream is full of women’s necks, stressed so the veins pop. Bokay.) Anyhoo, many of veinale’s photos advertise a site called veinywoman.com. I’m not hyperlinking it because oh, for fuck’s…
Internet, do me a solid
Can you please help me pinpoint Memphis-based acts at Bonnaroo this year? I know about Al Green, MGMT, and Booker T. But I’m sure I’m missing big hugely obvious ones, too. The lineup is here. Think of this as a scavenger hunt. A scavenger hunt with no apparent prize.
Look what happens when I turn my back on you, Internet
I’ve been struggling with sour soul lately, so I did a little bit of unplugging, including from Twitter, and what happens? Last night I get a notification that my mother is now following me. That flash you just saw? That was the illusion that I am not a foul-mouthed, drunken degenerate taking to the sky with pigs. So, Internet, welcome my mother to Twitter. She has three followers right now: Me, my sister, and “Britney…

Crisis averted!
So we had some unscheduled downtime today. Perhaps you saw the static screens of death?! I thought I must have done something horribly wrong (like finally figure out how to get Akismet working) but it turns out that the Bluehost office dog probably just peed on my server. Thanks, puppy. I Twittered my panic like a mofo, and several people were kind enough to chime in and offer help and support. The internet can be…
News: You’re doing it wrong
I’ve been kind of following the Russia/Georgia thing on Twitter this afternoon, and when I went to Google News to get the latest news updates, I clicked through to the AP’s story about the U.S. calling for a ceasefire in South Ossetia. And what do I see? A locator map showing me where Washington, D.C., is. Thanks, AP. Are these damn maps generated automatically based on datelines? Or did a human make this happen? My…
