I haven't been around here much lately, huh? Oh don't act like you didn't notice. I see you lurking over there. You're fooling no one. I'm not exactly sure why. Well I am sure why. I had it in my head that I was going to write this eloquent and mesmerizing soliloquy that would leave…

Watching television tonight— Well sort of watching television. It's on in the background as I'm creating this absolutely gorgeous design for a website. In my head. All in my head. As a repressed memory I'm thinking. Because I can not come up with nothing for nothing. Watching television tonight an ad came on for another…

You know what drives me seriously around the corner? When people go on and on about how many hits their site gets per day. website hits ≠ website visitors That is all.

When I first got my iPhone I has no idea what apps to download if any at all. Oo! Tangent! I have this relative that insists on calling appetizers "apps". "Let's start out with some apps" "Who's up for apps?". Drives me nuts. And it has hardened my heart against the usage of the word…

I would love to see every congressperson and senator spend a few years without health insurance for themselves or their families. I imagine universal healthcare would become a priority. Politics has become so mired in back room deals and loopholes and workarounds that no real change is ever going to happen unless there's a mass…

I am officially firing this week. It sucked. It was hectic. And I'm exhausted. So this week is fired. Or downsized. I gotta wonder the percentage of people laid off due to the economy were just deadweight and the company didn't have the heart to axe them sooner. Not that you were one of them,…

Gardner Hardware Anvil Drop Day. The anvil gets tossed at noon. Although every time I get there right at noon I've missed it by about a minute. And it's raining. Which frankly makes the anvil drop all the more awesome. The car's in place (or was when I stopped by at 8:30am to drop off…

Ah, fall. When the sound of heavy metal objects falling on top of junker cars fills the air. When the sweet smell of watermelon wafting through the wind is accompanied by projectile chunks of rind. When the "Usually-Annual-But-Sometimes-We-Miss-a-Year" Gardner Hardware Anvil Drop comes sneaking up behind you and you suddenly realize that it's this Friday.…

As the new television season tiptoes in like a drunk frat boy (Really? New shows are starting soon, Mr. Network? I hadn't realized. Maybe you should constantly fucking remind me more) so too do syndicated shows. So, thinks I, perhaps I should watch some shows I initially dismissed as trite and derivative. Like the supernatural-lite…

Ugh. It's tax day tomorrow. You know, I dreaded April 15th just fine. To have to dread three additional days just as much adds nothing to my overall quality of life.

So I finally pay attention to this page (have I mentioned everything's showing up in Courier? Flippin' Blogger) and wouldn't you know it, the one thing that didn't survive? Hard returns. And I was initially tempted to fix it (to be fair it's my fault--I changed some settings around on a lark) but then I…

You know, with Andre Braugher on House this season I just might watch it. Pembleton: You're not Catholic and you took communion? Bayliss: Yeah. Is that wrong? Pembleton: If my god wins, you're screwed.

Okay, so two things before this entire site goes down: 1. I gave Ramona some pain meds this morning and I think she's having a bad trip. Every time anything moves on my computer screen she gets all excited and intensely stares at it. And now she's staring the door like the cops are about…

On days like these—when I'm overworked and underslept—there is nothing in the world that makes me feel better than Son Volt.

So this morning I went out to my car only to find that my glovebox was open. As was my center console... thingie. Which means two things: 1. I forgot to lock my car again last night 2. Some stranger was in my car rifling through it At first I was pissed.Pissed at whoever took…
