playing around at work

We play around at work. Who doesn’t? Okay, maybe if I worked in a nuclear power plant, I wouldn’t want to play too much. My office mate and I often listen to music wearing headphones. Mostly because she would force me to listen to bagpiping and Johnny Cash. To get [...]

the day after

For the record, I got lots of love and an amazing chocolate cake, not to mention flowers and tons of well wishes, and about ten movies and pajamas (that Maleesha can’t have) and a gremlin and stuff. It was a very, very nice birthday. Thank you everyone!

11-26-66

Hmmmm. 112666, yeah 666 all neatly together. It’s not really 666 though is it? It’s November 26, 1966. So, the 666’s aren’t really together technically. Does that mean that I am sometimes good and sometimes bad? In about an hour, I will officially be 41. I am not sure [...]

Dancing Raisins

A while back, I blogged about Dancing Raisins. Oddly, I get a lot of hits from people searching for Dancing Raisins. If you have reached this entry with a search for Dancing Raisins, please comment. I would love to know why the hell you were looking for Dancing Raisins.
Thank you, come again.

Flight of the Conchords

Thanks to Virginia for introducing me to Flight Of The Conchords. Very cool.

Joe Versus the Volcano

Friggin incredible movie. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan among others, star in this comedic tragedy. Joe, played by Tom Hanks, lives a dull, mediocre life at best. He finds out he has a “brain cloud” and only has months to live. I know it doesn’t sound like it would make for [...]

Candy Jigsaw Puzzle

Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer?

On this day, in 2004 the Mozilla Corporation launched Internet Explorer’s first major competitor: Mozilla Firefox. Firefox is pretty cool and people love to latch on to anything that is NOT Microsoft. I still like and use IE, but only because it works so well with Outlook Web Access and almost any [...]

The Golden Compass

I received an e-mail from a friend regarding a new movie coming out: The Golden Compass. Supposedly, this movie encourages atheism in children. I am in no way a religion pusher, but I do feel strongly that society needs a strong belief system to function. I am open to all possibilities, [...]

Road Rage

I don’t have it, never really do. Do you? The other day as I was driving to work I got flipped off by some old man. He looked very angry and held up a serious thick middle finger. I glanced over and noticed it and was slightly amused. I gave [...]

Recall

My friend Maleesha wrote about some recalls. I thought that this was the most screwed up recall I have ever seen:
Recall ordered for toy that turns into drug

It’s Alive!

Earlier in the week, I posted about my dog trying to eat the little dog across the street. The bandaged up little dog is going to be okay. We paid the vet bill and have apologized, but really, how can you apologize for something like that? I am making special little doggy [...]

Invitation to Chaos

Do you think some people invite chaos into their lives simply by being born? I do. I think I accidentally, inadvertently invited chaos to become part of my life. There are people who lead mundane, uneventful lives, who pray that something chaotic would happen to break up the monotony. I pray [...]
