Holy crap! Shhhh! You can not tell anyone about this. You have to pinky swear, okay? I found some GIFs from my ex-employer online. Tell no one! Eh, screw it. I don’t work there and they’re online. It’s not a crime. It is however… well: It’s the animated part that is the most awesome. Click […]

I just spent the last hour or so updating a site for a client who is an activist and is actually doing something to bring about change in the world. Unlike me. Anyway he had some updates he needed done. And so I was going through this and just marveling at all the things he’s […]
Friggin’ Geek Squad. If there wasn’t a more poorly named bunch of maroons out there you’ve got me. I went to take my recycling out and noticed the ladder and the truck outside my window. Which. Fine. Some apartment neighbor feels like hiring some dolts to install something? Be my guest. Only (and here’s the […]
So I actually ended up going to the RNC yesterday. It was a little trippy. I have never seen so many people in suits before. Or flippin’ flag-flavored outfits. I was tempted to snatch a badge from one of the CNN guys wandering around, but thought better of it. Still, it would have been cool […]
You know, in the beginning I thought “Hm. Big misstep choosing Palin.” Because I think it was. And as a sidenote? Bristol. Willow. Piper. You fail at naming your kids. Yuck. I digress. I first thought it was a misstep. Now I think it was distasterous. If that moron-and-a-half gets elected with his lameass runningmate […]
So. Right. I get that Comcast is the Evil Empire. No, totally. I’m there. I get it. But I am apparently the one person in the world who has never had an issue with them. If I knew nothing about their record I would tell you that they’re all a bunch of saints. Take today. […]
I was watching CNN and saw a clip from Sen. Obama talking to Anderson Cooper. And I got it. I just got it. Call it a moment of Zen. Obama as president of the United States needs to happen. Really it just whacked me in the face. I mean, I was already voting for him, […]
Bush appears to be on Spring Break. Every time I see him I get this “Dude. Being President ruled. But I’m not running again. So let’s party.” It’s quite disconcerting. I called complete bullshit on any stupid person that would claim that the RNC would be scaled back in St. Paul. Complete bullshit. I told […]
Oh for gods sake. Apparently the entire friggin’ world is moving in to my apartment building this weekend. Another truck just pulled up. So maybe the people I walked in on will be gone. You want to hear that story? Great! It’s not that bad of a repeat: 03.02.05 I’m waiting online for an email […]
Insomnia strikes again. The bastard. It’s 5:08 am and I can’t sleep. I tried for a bit around 2:30 am but there’s only so much staring at the ceiling one can do before it’s time to change tactics. I contemplated trying to give myself a concussion, but then realized that might not be the best […]
I’m not claiming to be obsessed with hot male actors lately, but I was watching The Cleaner tonight and the junkie of the week was Chris Camargo (of Dexter fame). Woof. Although maybe it’s something about strung-out junkies. My mom has been watching Eli Stone lately and was 1) shocked that Jonny Lee Miller was […]
It is, arguably, 120 degrees in my apartment. Which is awesome when I’m dealing with a Minnesota winter. But not so awesome when it’s summer. It’s friggin’ warm. […]
So on Project Runway we have drag queens tonight. Here’s my problem with drag queens. They are way more fabulous than I have any right to be. The fierceness that they contribute to the world is beyond my comprehension. In other news: have I mentioned that Max Martini is on Burn Notice this week? […]
So I get a little screamy when I see actors I adore in other TV shows. This time? Friggin Max Martini on Burn Notice. There’s so many things wrong with that it makes my head explode. But the main point would have to be that Max Martini is so indescribably awesome it’s just not right. […]
So back in… uh… 2004, come to look it up, I wrote about Madame Shoo Shoo, which was (as far as family lore goes) painted by my grandfather on the side of a bomber during WWII. Today I was over at my mom’s doing laundry (yay clean clothes!) and finally grabbed one of the two […]
I woke up this morning and thought, “What the hell?” Because my jaw hurt. So I went over the events of the last 24 hours and realized it was from laughing way too much. Which is what happens when your best friend in the whole entire universe that you haven’t seen for ten years finds […]
So I ended up watching the opening ceremonies last night. Which were pretty cool. What struck me as interesting was that they did the whole “The Olympics transcends politics and war!” “It’s a special time!” and then during the ceremony they would take time to mention all the conflicts that were currently ongoing. Georgia, for […]
So I’m a little late to this, but about one year and one half day ago, the bridge connecting downtown Minneapolis and Northeast Minneapolis via 35W collapsed. It wasn’t supposed to (what bridge is?). And even though the casualties were minor (what casualties are ever truly minor?) it impacted a lot of people. But perhaps […]
Here’s what the internet has given me in the past month or so: 1. Paul Westerberg’s latest for less than a buck on Amazon. 2. One of my favorite X-Files episodes on iTunes (even though Jesse Ventura is involved) 3. Although people seem all happy to do a cover of Daniel Johnston’s “True Love Will […]
Ah, Friday. I am about to start working for the evening, but thought I’d pop in here and say hello. To be fair, I wouldn’t have as much work this afternoon if I hadn’t gone out to lunch with a friend. A lunch that kind of sucked, food-wise. It’s a decent local restaurant that I’ve […]
One of the downsides of getting picked up by The Reg? Around 4 pm I suddenly started getting gabillions of bounced emails. I always knew I needed to change my contact page to remove the address from easily getting snapped up and used for nefarious purposes but I was too lazy to do anything about […]
