Today would be a good day for a new episode of BOFH. Of which, dammit, there is not. At least I’ve shaken my headache of the past two days. So, what are the criteria for being moderately amusing? Do I need to write something amusing, or does my appearance count? How about instead of amusing, […]
Sun! Glorious sun! I’d like to lay out and tan my bum! But no, oh foo! I’ve got work to do. Still, Spring has come, and with it, so has the sun. Snow-capped peaks and fields of green, a dappling of dew, a pair of deer doing something obscene! Oh how I love this schizophrenic […]
I tried to look myself up on myspace and all I got was this: “Your search bears no result.” I prefer “There are no results”, “There are 0 results”, or some derivative of same. “You search bears no result” sounds as if I put more effort into it, and failed. True, I failed to find […]
Oh, the joys of being wise. Or maybe not quite wise, but perceived as wise by those who should know better. I received a call from one of my many brothers-in-law (brother-in-laws?): Him: “Are you busy?” Me: “No, just working.” Him: “Good. Are you near your computer?” Me: “No, but I could be. What do […]
Ugh. Rough day. Rough week. Rough month. Where the hell are my pennies from heaven and all that (and adjusted for inflation, wouldn’t it more likely be $20 bills from heaven?)? Two more work days to go, and the weekend is here, and I get to wish I could relax. Between soccer for the boy-child, […]
I signed up for an “Extreme Shapeover” contest at my gym today. The idea is to lose as much (excess) body fat as possible in the next 6 weeks or so. There are various activities, and you get your BMI (body mass index) measured at the start and end. I just wish they’d announced this […]
Two weeks in Secaucus. Ick. I’m back, hopefully willing to get off my lazy butt and post something. Maybe not. Secaucus meant living in a mall. Interesting in a way, but mall food gets old real fast when you have it three meals a day. I did get to see some wildlife while there: A […]
Two weeks of vacation under my belt and it’s time to get crackin’. So, what am I doing? Avoiding my work inbox and hoping nobody calls. Probably not the best strategy. I’ll give it another two minutes, then get to work. A change came over me this weekend. Like the swallows returning to San Juan […]
It was a chilly 4 degrees fahrenheit when I woke this morning. It had dropped to 2 by the time I got up, ten minutes later. In the words of Penfold, “Cor, chief! I think my nipples just froze to the blanket . . . ” Or Ye Flippin’ Gods!- it’s COLD! Thankfully I didn’t […]
It’s Thursday, and things are still happening. The VP mistook an old man in an orange vest for a quail. More photos of tortured Iraqis are being shown. Other repressive regimes are demanding we shut down our torture centers. It’s no longer snowing outside my window. All things being equal, I’d rather focus on the […]
