I have one of those headaches where my entire head hurts and all I want to do is close my eyes and sit in a dark room. In other news, not having to deal with The OC quotes tonight, I did some more work on my brand spanking new forums. We’ll see if it catches […]

I was headed home today from the ex-office (I have yet to come up with decent terminology to explain my current situation) and a news update came on the radio I was listening to. Apparently the Minneapolis mayor is considering giving out licenses to panhandlers in the city. At first I thought, Awesome. Giving homeless […]
Anyone ever read the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil? No? It’s a decent book, despite its popularity. Anyway, there’s a quite wonderful character in that book who has a phrase she likes to use (and I quote): “Two tears in a bucket, motherfuck it.” And there we are. So I’m moving […]
It’s rather cold in Minnesota as of late. Which makes me think of my cabin. Weird jump, yeah? Yeah. Mainly because my family has a cabin in a town where the weather is completely unpredictable. We always had the joke: “You don’t like the weather? Wait 15 minutes and it’ll change.” And it did. I […]
It’s 12:30 AM. I wrote a rather dull rant about my day. Which involved me working 15 hours on various projects. So at about 12:17 AM I was flipping through channels. Nothing was really on. Except for The Pixies on Austin City Limits. THE PIXIES, people. PIXIES! I knew they had reunited recently. They actually […]
I was going through panic mode yesterday. Or thought I was. Until last night around 10 when I really went into panic mode. I started getting emails from a client whose site had gone down due to exceeded bandwidth. I spent the majority of today trying to get it fixed. Long day. In other news: […]
I currently have the hiccups. They piss me off more than I care to admit. Ever since I was a kid I’ve gotten sudden, tragic bouts of hiccups. The roller derby that is my upstairs neighbor is at it again. It’s 1:30 AM. Who stays that noisy 24/7? They must have to actively work at […]
I completed my compilation for Heathrow’s going away. My song list: Working Girls (Sunlight Shines) : Pernice Brothers The Employment Pages : Death Cab for Cutie The World at Large : Modest Mouse Skyway : The Replacements Dear Chicago : Ryan Adams The World Ain’t Slowin’ Down : Ellis Paul Rocket Man : Ryan Adams […]
So I’m watching Airline. It’s a documentary that focuses on… an airline. Southwest, mainly. And they’re profiling a radio station morning show that was nominated for an award. One of the on-air personalities described his outfit he was planning on wearing as a “Jay Farrar shirt that I paid $1.75 for”. And I thought, “Jay […]
It’s a gloomy, rainy day today. I’ve hit a creative roadblock on a newsletter I’m designing. Which is due Monday. D’oh. In an attempt to unblock myself and pander to those readers who have been waiting for my lazy ass to have another Music and/or Storybook Friday and/or Saturday, today’s the day I’ll post some […]
It was late when I wrote my last rant. Forgive me. But I still think Spatula City is funny. I relented. I acquiesced. I gave in. I did my federal taxes. I did my state taxes. And now my head hurts. […]
I am studiously, diligently, and methodically not doing my taxes. It’s quite the task. I redesigned one of my websites last night. I don’t love it, but at least it doesn’t look like it was designed by a 12-year-old anymore. In my defense, it was the first website I ever built. UHF is on. Does […]
I’ve developed a new game. Being home all day and having the TV on (all day), you quickly discover that there’s not a lot on. I’ve developed a pretty safe routine. It gets spotty around mid-afternoon, mind you, but I’m still working on it. So I’ve started watching the forensics/true crime/cold case shows. I’ve always […]
AUGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Ahem. I’m done working for the night, I think. I haven’t totally decided: • Work 9 to 6ish Monday through Friday, dealing with constant chaos, clients who change things a thousand times and then change them back… oh so many things. But with a steady income and benefits. • Work *ahem*11-ish to anywhere from […]
I keep writing rants and deleting them because they suck. So, I will just summarize: • There is nothing more exciting than spending a Friday night building a WYSIWYG relational database. • Allergies really suck. Especially when you’re mildly allergic to cats. • I forgot Dr. Jackson (Stargate) has the same North Face jacket I […]
Well my site’s still up and running. Woo hoo! My saga: 11:00 pm : purchase hosting services for newest site 11:10 pm : change DNS settings with domain holder for new site 11:30 pm : realize that not only is this site’s mail down, but so’s the entire site. No access. Big problem 11:40 pm […]
As per usual, it’s 3 AM and I’m up. Working from home seriously screws with your sleep schedule. But I am very close to launching my newest site. ANYWAY: As of per late, I have noticed a marked increase in traffic to my Hitchhiker’s quotes page. Which does my heart no end of good. So […]
Weird. I opened up this page to write some thoughts and I had totally forgotten about the helicopter last night. I’m watching Frontline in fact. A special on a regiment in Baghdad. I’m not getting into that. Other than to say I have a great deal of respect for anyone that fights in war. I […]
It’s 3 AM. There’s a helicopter that’s been nearby for half an hour. It’s loud and it’s creeping me out. It’s just circling over and over. Moving on: I’ve been working on my new website. It’s close to making a debut. Nothing to report, really. Except that I’m tired. Back to the helicopter. It finally […]
It’s Odds & Ends Sunday, which means I get to ramble. Bear with me. I think Daylight Saving has screwed with my schedule. I’ve spent the day (well the latter half of the day) working on my new site. And now it’s 11 PM and Cops is on. It’s rather curious, as they played the […]
Burns: …and this adorable little hat. On tonight’s Simpsons, Homer—whilst in prison—got a little hat a la Adebisi. Cracked me up. I love it when my favorite shows collide. And I’m thinking some Simpsons writer is definitely an Oz fan: from a promo… never actually in the episode Homer: You have enough blame to be […]
