Tie-dyes!

My inner-hippy has been banging to get out more and more these days.   Ratdog and The Dead concerts.  An ever growing collection of audience recorded live Jam Band Concerts.  And tie-dyes.  If I’m not working, I’m probably wearing one. Unfortunately, the damn things cost a fortune. $35, $40 even $50 a piece.  There was [...]

Bad Karma, perhaps?

I didn’t notice it at first.  It’s subtle and you miss it.  A bit of bad luck, a tough break here or there. A Virus, then another. Smart phone breaking. Xbox 360 gets the infamous Red Ring of Death. After a while it sinks in.  I’ve the got the tech whammy.  Shit is breaking left [...]

Geek Lament

I’m an idiot.  I really am. Okay, I’m smart enough, but when I ignore common sense that doesn’t help much. My PC got a virus.  A pretty nasty one.  It took me a while a while, but I got it all cleaned up.  2 days later, I go out to some hacker site and BAM! [...]

It reminds me of that episode of M*A*S*H…

My day started as most of them do… with Mrs. Jeckles threatening me. “Get up now.  And if you want me to iron your clothes, give them to me before I’m done ironing.” Sometimes it takes a threat (or many) to get me out of bed.  I stumbled to the closet and tossed a shirt [...]

This and That…

Obama still hasn’t texted me.  Which I suppose is fine, but what’s the point of letting his supporters be the first to know, if you are gonna stall long enough to let the media scoop you? I saw the Clone Wars movie tonight and I liked it.  As a matter of fact, in many ways [...]

I’m having one of those days…

Yes, one of those days. You know the ones? The kind where nothing really goes right. Nothing goes very wrong, but nothing really goes right. I shouldn’t even complain, there are a lot of people in the world who have it so much worse than me. But I can’t help it… today everything just seemed [...]

Weekends are for relaxing…

I had plans for this weekend. I really did. They revolved around watching Sci-Fi shows I’d DVR’ed and reading comic books. There were a few productive things I meant to squeeze in there, but I was ready to do a whole lot of not very much. Of course, I should have known that couldn’t happen. [...]

I hate January and other shit

I do hate January. I hate the short, cold gray days. I hate that everything is dead. It’s a stupid time of year. One of these years, I’m gonna say, fuck it and move somewhere that is warm and bright. Florida, Arizona, Somewhere. I get depressed. I don’t want to, but it seems to be [...]

I guess I haven’t quit blogging yet

I’m a dork. I know it. I can’t help it. I am sitting here in my big comfy chair, tapping this into my new phone. I took a break to eat breakfast and I think that may be the point. I’ve made no secret of the fact that blogging irritates me. It seems to me, [...]

The Good, the Bad and the Stupid

Last week was a long one. Not bad, but long. I can’t believe that it has been only seven days since I was at the concert. Long hours and a hectic pace at work contributed to this. The fact that one of our ‘team members’ can’t seem to do his job, didn’t help. I don’t [...]
