Every Dog Has Its Day

Today is Sys Admin Appreciation Day. Am not kidding! There’s a website about it ∴ it’s a real “day”! I think everyone should get the day off, really, especially since it falls on a Friday.

Random Spam and whatnot

Lately I’ve been getting like a lot of spam everyday on my work email account, like I’ll have 5 real messages and 20 spam. It’s crazy madness! Everyday I get stuff like “sissy frivolously” or “Softwares Deploy.” Today I got spammed by Jack (unfortunately not Bauer) with the subject line “un-American Heart [...]

Hot, and not in a good way

Today was another really hot day here. Another as in it’s not the first hot day this year. Hot as in >90°F (or ~32°C) and humid. Which I know, I know, isn’t as bad as it could be, but like I’m always saying, this area just isn’t prepared for hot weather. [...]

“It’s ‘Make it Work’, and this isn’t working.”

The challenge this week was to design the evening gown dress for Miss USA to wear at the Miss Universe pageant (hence “Fit for a Queen” ). Miss USA came on to tell them what she was looking for, and she was v. specific. Then they sketched out ideas and she picked the [...]

Bravo broadcast two episodes essentially of Project Runway today. First was a run up show where they showed the auditions and videos and stuff. Then they showed the actual first design episode. The [...]

Zizou’s Head

The World Cup final game between Italy and France was on Sunday, but everyone (well ok, the news media) is still talking about one thing: Zinedane Zidane’s headbutt of Marco Materazzi which earned him a red card (and ejection from the game). (For example, from the Washington Post: July 10th with a photo of [...]

Multigrain Goodness, Indeed

The random holiday in the middle of the week wasn’t as bad as I thought. Yesterday was rather lovely, lots of resting and watching TV (World Cup! Tour de France! Closer from Monday that we DVR’d, Takeru Kobayashi!) and playing Super Smash Bros. (ever since misa and neb came over we been playing [...]
