In which this is all the news that’s fit to print, and it ain’t much. We had friends over so I stayed up way too late last night, and now I’m sleepy. You’d think someone pushing 40 would have figured out how to go to bed on time, but no. I act like a little […]
In which it’s a beautiful day. It’s gorgeous out. Gorgeous! Warm and breezy and balmy. If I weren’t still so pleased to be employed, I’d be bitching about wanting to go outside and play! The site I mentioned yesterday went down about five minutes after I posted, and is still down. I wonder if I […]
In which I miss the loss of unlimited naptime, but otherwise feel pretty damn positive. Bonus: includes the return of nested parentheses! Overheard at work today: “Yeah, I understand that. I just don’t understand how a buffer overflow translates to root access.” (Rampant nerd-speak! I love my job!) I spent about eleventy hours this weekend […]
I which I totally agree. According to my roommate Truck, these are the four dirtiest syllables in the English language: cocktail weenie “Because,” he explains, “the phrase ‘cocktail assfuck’ would just be redundant.” In other news, goblinbox.com will turn six years old on Friday!
In which I feel a change a-coming. It’s official. I didn’t get the office manager job. (I think the HR woman wanted to hire me but got overruled, but that’s just a gut feeling and I may have manufactured it to make myself feel better. I wanted that job, damn it.) I’m going to drive […]
In which I complain. I need a simple, clean, working 3-column WP theme (because I’m tired of the one I’ve been using for the past two years or so!). Today I went to the Theme Viewer, searched for Widget-ready 3-column themes, downloaded six of them, and tested them out. Three didn’t work at all — […]
In which I’ve not done shit. I’ve slept about twenty of the past forty hours, I think. Or I’ve at least spent them in bed, either sleeping or listening to my iPod. I no longer get the cramps I was getting last year (the ones that made me weep for hours and contemplate performing an […]
In which I’m eavesdropping on AmmZon and Jonq in the living room. Jonq, who is a bartender and dropped by here on her way home from work, just told a driving joke. I repeat it here for your amusement: Ninety-four percent of the population, when skidding toward a ditch, say, “Oh shit!” But Iowans say, […]
In which the holiday is just plain bugging me. I’ve rarely been single on Valentine’s Day. In the past, I’ve approached the day with either a studied indifference or a banked hope that I might get a little something nice… I’ve rarely had the sense to date guys who were willing to celebrate with chocolates […]
