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 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…
I’m such a slacker.
I used to make this trip to/from work as often as possible (I was shooting for three times a week): View Larger Map Now I make this trip, and it takes about 4 minutes (6 if I hit red lights). View Larger Map Gotta love a 4 minute commute. Oh, and since it’s all uphill…
Haha… ha… uh… huh?
Okay, so I’m out bombing around the net like I’m likely to do on a Tuesday night looking for something about a particular primary religious figure being a zombie, and I come across this photo on a page with a bunch of other things scrolling and then my brain says “what’s STRETRODRUNIAL?” and so I…
Oh, are you still here?
This was going to start as a little piece talking about how much more time I spend at Facebook, but I don’t spend much time AT Facebook, I’ve been spending time chatting with friends VIA Facebook. See, there’s this chat system, and it’s meant to allow users who are on FB to chat with others…
I think I’m going to like working here…
I got this apron from work. …yeah… I know it’s a game company …I don’t know what aprons have to do with video games either. Maybe we’re making an online cooking game, who knows? Nobody ever tells me anything. I mean, it’s kind of random, but it could be worse. They could have given us……
New theme coming soon.
My previous one was a little *too* hip, but also only showed one post on the screen at a time. Plus, I’m not in Dubai (I don’t think). More serene theme coming soon.
GTA4 – Can a toy be inherently evil?
My mom asked me about the killing of prostitutes in Grand Theft Auto 4, as mentioned in this week’s New York Times. Here’s what I wrote back. Edit: I refer below to “Hot Chocolate” when I mean, “Hot Coffee.” Maybe I was hungry when I wrote this. Can of worms, for sure, but it’s an…
Oh, and know what’s weird here?
People here will say things like “Go on with your bad self.” and aren’t being funny, or quoting anything, and they’ll be saying it in response to things like (it seems)… “I think that application you reinstalled for me remotely is working properly again.” “Go on with your bad self.” …and I imagine that the…
Pedalling my butt around town.
A long time ago, in a Valley far far away, I used to ride my bike a lot. Like, a LOT. And now, with the help of Google Maps, I’m going to bore the heck out of you while figuring out how far I was actually riding, if you’ll bear with me. Starting when I…
