In which fake news must be regulated. In yesterday’s paper, there’s a Dilbert strip in which Dilbert says he “hates people” so much he doesn’t wash his hands, and hopes he’s an asymptomatic carrier of a deadly disease. The strip’s artist is a man called Scott Adams who has, I regret even being aware of, […]
In which I need. I need to quit being so old and fat. Because it’s constantly uncomfortable. Jeez. The joints, the ankles, the ugh. However, problem is, I dislike diet and exercise a great deal and also time appears, in this plane, to be linear, so apparently I’m fucked. Such a pain. A pain in […]
In which WHERE THE FUCK DID I PUT THE CILANTRO SEEDS?!?!? Planted some seeds today. Should have done so the 1st, but whatever. Hopefully they’ll germinate well. Had to re-order cilantro because I can’t find the seeds I got a couple months ago. Also ordered a compost bin thing for the yard and some compost […]
In which there is an anniversary. Two fucking decades ago, on the 9th of March, I registered this domain name. I was working as an engineering assistant at a small ISP in rural Iowa and since part of my job was second and third-tier technical support, I was encouraged to learn HTML. So I did. […]
In which I’ve put “blog” on my to-do list so I can check it off. Yes, hello. Happy Pi Day! Spring is coming, there are tiny crocuses and the little tree in the side yard is in bloom. Work is picking up enough that instead of not having enough to do, there’s too much to […]
In which there’s an update. Yawn. I’ve been watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Disenchantment lately. Fun TV. Today in cooking, I packed chili, a baked potato, and sour cream and cheddar into a bento for lunch. Turned some beans leftover from making the chili into refried beans, and made Taco Bell-style red sauce, and put […]

In which… yeah, idk. It’s a new year. Arbitrary date. Whatever. I sleep a lot because what else is there to do! Still scrolling Twitter and Instagram and watching massive amounts of streaming TV. Still not reading or knitting or painting. My mending basket looks exactly the same as it has forever. I cook, work, […]

In which I’ve put the fall leaves window clings up, and am looking forward to cardigan weather! Not much to report, really. I’m just blogging because it was on my to do list and I’d rather do this than run the vacuum. I work, I hang out at home. That’s about it. I stepped into […]
