Hopefully, you’ve all received your blank brackets, but if you haven’t, it’s cos I am disorganized, not cos I don’t want you to play! So mail me (mim at this [...]

DOOOOOOD, it was Selection Sunday. As in the day that the tournament teams are picked! So you know what that means — it’s time to randomly pick winners, lots and lots of winners! Enough winners to beat the defending champion, YB!
So yeah, I’m sending out the brackets to everyone who has ever [...]
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 [...]
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.)

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 [...]
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. [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
