In which I go from hanging out at home every evening to only being home to sleep. When K came to pick me up for work this morning (we work the same hours on Saturdays), Gramma made a crack about my timing and mentioned that ‘it would have been nice to have been ferried around […]
In which I tell you about my recent TOTALLY ACCIDENTAL hard left. While I don’t have a 5-year plan [I’m sure my toilet training was as flawed as anyone’s, but I have managed to avoid being completely anal], I do have a half-assed 2-year plan. Half-assed because it involves nothing more epic than getting out […]
In which it’s totally off the hook and I’ve been walking around grinning like a lobotomy recipient. I haven’t posted for five days ’cause I’ve been busy. *waggles eyebrows* Yes: busy. In the Biblical sense of the word, if you catch my drift. There has been sleep deprivation, giggling, endless (good) conversation, strange continuities (owner’s […]
In which I am bested by a John Deere push mower. Gramma told me to mow the lawn while she’s gone. Dutifully I went into the garage yesterday, and got out the lawn mower. I started it up… …and mowed the damn lawn for over half an hour before I accidentally grabbed the little bar […]
In which I have the house to myself for a week. My grandmother left today for a trip to Detroit with her bowling team. I get to bring in the mail, mow the lawn, feed the dogs (they’re getting dry kibbles and water and none of the other shit they’re used to), and drive her […]
In which I look at my data. One of the interesting things about using software to count calories is that it does all sorts of interesting math. Behold, my intake from last week: Of course there are many other things to track, like sugar and iron and fiber and so on, but it is interesting […]
In which I remind you to protect your data! A co-worker just told me a story: While sitting in a restaurant with his wife over the weekend, his car was broken into. The thief got, among other things, his wife’s laptop, and on that laptop was a spreadsheet – unencrypted – containing their full names, […]
In which there are both aliens and my ass in the same entry, but I totally wasn’t abducted or anything. SETI@home sent me a lovely email today reminding me that I’ve been a member since 1999 (!!!)… and that I haven’t returned a work unit in 153 days. The last unit I returned was from […]
In which my luncheon over at El Sombrero has left me overfull and sleepy. Work: My employer publishes an online newsletter each month, and all the employees write little articles for it. I chose to write my article for May on blacklists. Did you know that during the last quarter of 2007, an estimated 95% […]
In which my plans are quite suddenly changed. Saturday night my entire band had a long practice. After, Curtis and I went out and Becca showed up. We met a wine writer from Seattle and hung out with her all night, even dragged her to after hours for a bit. I got drunk. Around three […]
