Computer Drama Continues

Hey, remember when I said I was gonna blog more often and interact with my followers? Well, my computer decided that it’s not gonna happen. The world conspires to fuck up our kool-aid.

My comp is still in the shop. I’m on a library computer right now (which means no awesome memes today). I want to reach out to you guys. I’ve been thinking some really deep thoughts (what’s so amazing about really deep thoughts?) but by the time I get my comp back, i’ll probably forget.

Grand Jury duty is almos...

Technical Difficulties

I might be out of commission for a while. My computer has a “known issue” and will have to go back to the manufacturer for recall. I’m not going to send it until I get an external hard drive to save my work on. I’ll try to blog when I can.

BTW: I really wanted to post about Powerball. There’s a lot of stuff going around about how people are stupid for playing and don’t understand math. I get math, I still played. It had nothing to do with winning, it had to do with dreams. For two days I got...

Happy Birthday Jen!

It’s one of my favorite person’s birthday! Happy birthday, Jen! May it be filled with Grateful Dead presents.

Top 10 Funny But Fake Ben & Jerry’s FlavoursNow I’m craving ice cream :/

They might not be real flavours of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Creams, but they are very funny and some are also rather creative.

Jury Booty…

Also known as “23 Annoyed People”

I am serving in a Grand Jury this month, and today was my first official day. It was interesting, but I think it’s gonna get old quickly.

There was no booty involved (although there was a very cute witness) but I wanted to come up with a catchy title.

For those of you in states or countries that don’t have Grand Juries, here’s how it works: We decide if there is enough evidence for a criminal trial. There are 23 of us, and a majority leads to indictment or d...

New Year’s Revolutions

Well, it’s the first blog post of the new year. I better make it a good one. Let’s start with some kitten hijinx.

I can never get enough of that.

First of all, I’d like to thank all of my followers, especially the new ones that joined in the past few months. Every time I get a email that says i have a new follower, my heart swells a little bit. Actually, it’s my head swelling, but I try to keep that in. I already have trouble finding hats.

I hope that I continue to entertain you this year,...

I’m Sick (and other things to kvetch about)

I hate being sick, but I love complaining about being sick. I know, I’m just reinforcing the stereotype that men are big babies when they’re sick. I don’t care, please make me some soup.

Christmas at Katie’s parents’ place went well. I think the tipping point was that their dog didn’t freak out on me. She didn’t even bark, and she’s a beagle. Usually the dog barks so much at strangers (or even people she knows) that they have to send her to doggie jail (upstairs). I guess she sensed my inner...

The Power of the Dark Side

Note: There are minor spoilers in this post. Not about plot things, but about characterization. I don’t think it will ruin the movie for you, but if you want to be extra careful, don’t read this until you see The Force Awakens

I saw The Force Awakens Thursday night, but I wanted to wait until the weekend passed until I posted about it. First, it was magnificent. I want to shake JJ Abrams’s hand for revitalizing the franchise. Second, Disney can go to hell for declaring most of the expanded un...
