I am thoroughly bored and equally lonely. I took the week off and now am climbing the walls. But on the other hand, it’s nice to have some time off, as it’s been forever. I’ve also taken the opportunity to get some errands done. My long hair is disappearing on Friday. I got my eyes […]
It’s 9:47 am in a hotel in Eugene, where I am currently typing this. Waiting for access to the server. I’m on my laptop and bored. Slept horribly last night. I was just falling asleep and something started vibrating the bed and then violently shaking it. I stared at the wall for a minute trying […]
Where to begin. Ventura appointed Dean Barkley to replace Wellstone until election results are official. Which is actually quite cool. Barkley and Wellstone were friends, if I recall. When they were running against each other in the last senate election they would carpool to debates together. And Barkley seems like a pretty Wellstone-ish guy. And […]

Somehow I get it into my head every year that I’ll have a great Birthday and every year is a little different. It’s my birthday and I’ll whine if I want to. […]
Last night, instead of watching the Twins lose 6-3, we watched The Bachelor, reality TV at its best. It was actually pretty good drama. The funniest part was that my roommate knew one of the women on the show from his bartending days. And she was the whole reason for any drama whatsoever on the […]
I had a dream last night that I was in an office building looking out these windows—not sure what I was doing there—and all of a sudden a plane dropped out of the sky, landed in the middle of the city, and shot flames everywhere. Then suddenly planes were coming from everywhere and dropping onto […]
Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed_Grunt)cious Announcer: It’s the Krusty Komedy Klassic! Krusty: Hey, hey! It’s great to be back at the Apollo Theater, and— {turns around, notices sign} K-K-K? That’s not good. I tripped in the dark on my way to the bathroom and damn near broke my nose. My room is a mess. My nose is hideous. I […]
I got nothing. Weekend highlights: Went for sushi late Friday with an out-of-town client to celebrate getting everything on the web site finished. Turns out the entire floor at the MAC is now Martini Blu. Took me a few minutes to notice what was playing on the tvs on the walls. Sex scenes from famous […]
There was a minor explosion at the U today. A co-worker of mine was tooling around on rollerblades eating some free popcorn from the bookstore when he stopped to watch the EMTs give CPR to one of the students. So he tells me he’s standing there just eating popcorn and watching all the action until […]
All right, I posted way too much yesterday. To atone for my sins I will only post the most fascinatingly brilliant and urbane rants. I swear. Who am I kidding? So Napster was either hacked or has faced up to reality. Their site has been updated. It’s a shame that Napster failed. I had hoped […]
As we near a pretty sad one-year anniversary I was digging thru my folder on the events. Found this quote: “I feel this way about it. World trade means world peace and consequently the World Trade Center buildings in New York … had a bigger purpose than just to provide room for tenants. The World […]
What a long weekend. It’s official. I’m finally done with Nightmare (ex) Roommate forever. As predicted, she was rude to me when I went to clean on Saturday. I skipped out on her on Friday because her idea of cleaning was to basically clean every single nook and cranny of the entire apartment. I’ve lived […]
I am inches away from being 100% done with my old apartment and Nightmare Roommate. I have everything out except cleaning supplies. Yay. But it’s the last few inches that are going to be so stressful. I have this overwhelming fear that I am forgetting something crucial and it will destroy my life because of […]
Thought I’d post a NR story: Nightmare Roommate likes cats. Claire tangent: Ramona HATED her because she would pick her up and squeeze her and try to pet her. Ramona is far too aloof to allow that sort of nonsense. So she hid from her. Nightmare Roommate likes cat-themed things because she likes cats. So […]

I’ve been adding stories to my nightmare roommate page. I get to post it after Saturday at noon, as at that moment I am thru with her FOREVER!!!! Bwahahahaha! […]
Today was Gardner Hardware’s Annual Anvil Drop. Every year they go up to the top of their building and drop eggs, cantaloupe, pineapples, watermelons, and ultimately an anvil onto a junker below. It was great. There were about 100 people there. They give out free food and it’s generally a lot of fun. Patrick (cousin) […]

So this is the first I could post today, but all I really have to say is one cool story: I came back from buying sweet corn and chicken (Heathrow and I made the office lunch today) and hit the space bar on my machine, as it had gone to sleep. Internet Explorer was open […]
Random thoughts: We went to a gift store today to find a hula girl for car gift book project. I found an Action Jesus action figure and decided that I needed one. So now I have an Action Jesus. […]
I reedited my Saturday. I’m not good at spontaneous thoughts. Random ancestry story: When I was little I was researching my family ancestry (basically I called up both of my grandmas and asked some questions). One of my grandmothers told me two stories about my relatives. One was a long-dead princess who lived in Germany. […]
Task: Reorganizing bookmarks. Ever wondered about Clarus the dogcow? You can learn all about Clarus in infamous Tech Note 31 on Apple’s website. Or see what your Oz prison name would be here. Mine’s Nipple Nibbler. My porn name is Ginger Lake. I always liked that one. And my smog name is Elizabeth Lake. So […]
