In which I’m fucking bummed. Microsoft Reader killed my Pocket PC! A few weeks ago, Sin gave me some ebooks. Several were in MS Reader format. I loaded one onto my PPC Saturday, then opened Reader to see if the newly-loaded ebook showed in the library. It didn’t, and Reader had the audacity to tell […]

In which there’s a happy ending. Shegeki posted today about people who get Kanji tattoos and don’t know what they mean, and how he’d encourage anyone getting one to have it vetted by someone who knows better before committing it to their flesh for the rest of their lives. It’s good advice. The post prompted […]

In which I define “warm enough.” When it’s warm enough that I not only don’t have to blow-dry my hair after my morning shower, but can drive to work with the jeep’s windows down and let the wind dry it for me? Then it’s Spring!

On April 1st, my hacker friend […]

In which I wish I’d paid more attention getting dressed this morning. In a recent visit to the restroom, I discovered a 2″ tear in the seam of the ass of the pants I’m wearing! The pants are brown, and luckily I’m wearing dark undies (instead of the orange ones I almost wore). But still. […]

In which I ramble on and on about a bunch of different stuff! (Spring fever, yo.) First of all, Spring! God damn but it’s lovely out this morning. Fields are turning green and everything. Air smells good. Sun is shining. Mmm. Second, I love Jefferson County Mutual because when I went in yesterday to pay […]

In which I consider how I spend my time. I almost always drive in the left lane when I’m driving through Fairfield. The outside lanes are cracked and pitted and I don’t like them because they’re so bumpy, so I spend an inordinate amount of time behind people who are waiting to turn left. (The […]
