Rainy

So you know how I like to complain about rain and bad weather? And wet pants and wet socks and wet shoes and etcetcetc? So I bought myself a pair of clompy clown-shoe wellies and solved that. Except today I didn’t check the weather report — it was cloudy-ish but not cold [...]

An Explanation for the Previous

I don’t even remember what we were talking about, but I said something or other, and Yut called me a big nerd! To which I replied that I was not! (It was a v. mature conversation between two adults, I assure you.)
But he insisted that I was, anyone would agree! And I [...]

A Poll: Am I a Big Nerd?

So what do y’all think? Am I a big nerd?
Please just answer in the comments.

Better Internets

For a couple of months now, we’ve struggled with our internet service. If I was browsing more media-heavy sites (just browsing!) or using Google Reader (guess it updates a lot) then Yut’s game would lag. Or video would stutter. So, for example I would have to schedule my photo uploads. All [...]

Making the Super Bowl Interesting

Oh this is just one of the funnest things I’ve read this week (and definitely the funnest article about the Super Bowl that I’ve read, although that’s not saying much):
Art museum director Super Bowl trash talk: It’s on.
The art directors of the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the New Orleans Museum of Art have a [...]

A Little Crazy Morning

I stayed home this morning from work cos I wasn’t feeling too well — nauseous headache amongst some other small things, not really too terrible, but I couldn’t face staring at bright monitors and having to be friendly to people. I’d taken my Excedrin and was lying in bed when I start hearing yelling. [...]

Oops I Did It Again

We installed Civ. Well it’s Civilization IV — I think when I previously mentioned playing too much Civ, it was Civ III. Not that we haven’t had Civ IV but the madness can only continue for so long! We were furloughed ’til past the New Year and one day I said, “Y’know, [...]

Weather Wimp Indignation

OMG, it’s so cold! I’m sitting at a desk, wearing a wool sweater, cords, scarf, hat, and coat!
It’s so cold that some of the buildings at work don’t have heat because parts of the steam system had to be shut down because of overwork (or something like that). The infrastructure can’t [...]

On a Jet Plane

I’m on an airplane, getting free internet. Pretty cool, eh? It’s a Virgin America/Google deal — now through January 15, free wifi on flights. And it’s at least as good as my sister’s DSL service!

Changes! Again!

I’m changing my theme. It feels like once ever year or two I just feel like I want something different. But then I have to tweak it, which is a bit of work since I don’t know what I’m doing really. I think I might tone down the colors a bit, and [...]
