Holi-daze

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

Well I was totally prepared to wake up yesterday with a raging hangover. I wasn’t prepared for it to be completely eclipsed by a brutal and relentless head cold. Well at least it gives me an excuse to take Nyquil :)
Gah. So yeah I spent most of yesterday wrapped up in a blanket, drinking tea, [...]

Online Furniture Stores, My Gift To You

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

Whichever one of you comes up with a way to search for furniture to fit specific dimensions will have an awesome, possibly patentable edge on your competition. And since most of you seem to have dimensions in your database already, it should be brain dead simple to implement.
No charge for the idea, my reward will [...]

The more I see of the world, the less inclined I am to think well of it.

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

I had one of those absurdist “things-I-learned-today” tidbits in my head that I meant to post, I think it was Friday night maybe? Unfortunately I don’t remember what it was now.
This is England — fantastic film, and a new addition to the list of things that anyone flirting with nativism/xenophobia should be required to [...]

The sound of one cheezburger clapping

Monday, July 30th, 2007

Not only did i get to see The Simpsons this weekend, I also saw Rear Window at the Belcourt, so I finally get the references in this:

I’m tempted to say “It’s all connected” but I’d hate that to be taken as a subliminal endorsement for Karl Dean. Not that it isn’t one. Eh. I don’t [...]

This is no longer a vacation! It’s a quest!

Monday, July 9th, 2007

Whilst I wait for a gargantuan file to complete its trek by ftp, lets catch up on a few tidbits from last week’s Vacation-Mini. (I took Thursday & Friday off after the holiday).
Well the main goal was to paint my living room & parlor area. It didn’t get done. But I sorta figured that was [...]

He did save me 15% on my car insurance

Saturday, July 7th, 2007

Here’s the latest in the “weird alien things I see in my yard” category. This little guy was just casually lounging in the little rock garden area about a foot away from the stairs leading up the deck. This was actually several weeks ago, I only just now got around to unloading my camera. It’s [...]

What I Learned Today

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

1. If you’re having an extremely difficult time — and I mean, holy-hell-what-the-fuck-is-going-on type difficulty cutting a slice of drywall out of your wall, there’s a good chance that drywall was just tacked on top of a 1/2 inch piece of probably 70 year old sheetrock and that little hand saw which you’re you’re trying [...]

Things I might write about, if I felt like writing

Kroger, you vex me.
A lot of nothing to say about the holiday. Most of it cyncial.
Plumgood, well you don’t vex me, but — well how much bread do you think I can eat?
OK Styx, I defended you, but that’s just silly
Absolutely
Who the $^%&*#$ decided to permanently cement a 7/8 fine thread fitting onto the faucet???
“An [...]

From Bowling to Bolcom

Sunday, April 1st, 2007

Friday afternoon, the employer sponsored a couple of hours of knocking over bowling pins and knocking back brews. Then when I got to the Schermerhorn a short while later, the lovely bar mistress Anita had my Dos Perros ready and waiting. So by the time the NSO started in on Avner Dorman’s Variations Without a [...]

Hear that? Well it’s NOT the sound of my kitchen faucet dripping. I got all Mr-Fixit on it this weekend. Go me!

OMG OMG OMG OMG! The rumours were true — The Police are touring! Looks like I’m going to Bonnaroo.

The Richardson campaign seems to be making progress.

I’m not sure what to do here. Remember my [...]
