jvarner would get it. You wouldn’t.

Most of us Prizefighters

So, yesterday I picked up some new music… and ended up spending 50 bucks on it. Some new Neko Case, Pearl Jam’s new album, and some new Destroyer. I think it’s worth it, but I’m still kinda shocked how expensive albums are nowadays. And, yes, these were actual CDs and not iTunes copies.
I also had [...]

Increase My Stay at the Dock of the Bay

I had another one of the dreams last night. They’re getting more frequent, and the fact that I can’t do anything about them is almost more frustrating than the dreams themselves.

Pilot

Just a short bitch today: The Painters.
We get a group of painters (I assume they’re part of a group, we only see one at a time, but there’s always a white van and they always come around the same time) who come in and order pizza. Without fail, they will ask us why we didn’t [...]

Rubies

I’m sorry I haven’t updated. My grandmother died, but it was peaceful. The wake was typical for my family. Other than that, nothing is new.

Stuck in a Rut

I suppose now is as good a time as any to mention it: My grandma is dying. She was given the choice today between being taken off all her medications and supports and dying in a few days, or continuing treatment. Thankfully, she chose to continue. However, there isn’t much they can do. She has [...]

Love on the Rocks

Elizabeth is wonderful
After Gizmo died, she ordered me that with the “I <3 My Geek” shirt, and it’s the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen. It’s got a nice place next to my monitor. I also find it funny that her personal note had “<3″ in it, but it got translated to < .

Fat Actress

Let’s take a turn for the sappy!

To see you when I wake up,
Is a gift I didn’t think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do,
Is a three-fold, utopian dream.
You do something to me that I can’t explain.
So would I be out of line if I said,
I miss you.
I see your [...]

The Ballad of a Comeback Kid

Since you can’t stop trolling, and I know you’ll send a friend to read this: You may have been able to troll my LiveJournal, but when you’re on my server, you play by my rules.

She’s on Fire

I love software sites that post “reviews” of their product but don’t really disclose too much information about the source. Such as Acquisition:
“One of the single greatest programs ever written for the Mac.” -Tim E.
“Acquisition is the single best file sharing program - bar none. …reason enough to switch to Mac.” -James M.
“Absolute genius!” -Gabe [...]

Gizmo

She’s dead.
