“Boom, headshot!” {Something the gang at EAC IT used to yell out whenever someone was terminated that we didn’t particularly care for. Something I was tempted to yell out when I was laid off last year. Given what’s been going on in the gaming industry of late, you’ll forgive me a little gallows humour.}

28: Six Hundredth Post? Srsly?
This is my 600th post on this incarnation of this blog. I had another one at Blogger for a while, and I think I have them somewhere, I’ll have to make sure they’re back in my archives. Maybe another 15 posts or so. Elissa is over for our quad-weekly visit and Pimms-fest. Booze-amahol is inherent…
25: The AGM is over – very little happened, dammit.
Sorry folks, gotta vent. I’ll write about the bank thing, and reading email tomorrow, probably. Also the new podcast episode won’t play, and I can’t tell why, which is (as 3yo Tate would say “Fwustwayting.” AGM Today. The short version: the thing that was attempted by a person who isn’t liked (but had a little…
22: Part 2 – The Swing Photos
Thursday the 13th
I must be doing something right, I’m getting more spam in my filters in the last week than I have in the last year. Found out something cute today, as a sorta followup to something fun Arwen found out a few years back. When she was doing some research for her degree, she was reading…

N7: I’m a walking drugstore (currently being robbed by drunks).
Just a quickie hello to the world, ’cause the Mighty Mighty MoxieSnacks is over, and we’re getting our drank on. It’s a thing that happens every few weeks, and usually when it’s deeply crapulent weather outside (as opposed to what – the weather inside?) Oh, so I don’t have the headache today, but I am…
Nablopomo Day 4
In which our hero stays glued to CNN for the evening, watching the election, and constantly feeling like “How are they going to steal it this time?” Spoiler alert for those of you who TiVoed it: It wasn’t stolen, and Yes, They Did. I’m not feeling 100% today. Little sore throat, a tiny headache in…
Nablopomo Day 3
In which our hero finally sits his two little ones down in front of Star Wars. It might be the “fixed” version, but it looks pretty good. When they get older, we’ll get into the whole thing about how the “real” version is the “best” version. Han shot first, dammit (but in this version they…
Nablopomo Day 2
Cold Stares Gold stars for parenting, in which our hero wrangles a pound and a half of pot roast into an edible (and even non-life-threatening) meal, and my old job cans a few more peaches. So, after the time change, and the kids of course not realizing the sheer joy of being able to curl…
