So all of a sudden Speccy PM’s me, and somehow The Tomorrow People come up. This was an old show that I used to watch as a wee one, on Nickelodeon. Something about a newer species of humans, they could teleport at will… with these belts. On looking over the pictures, everything was incredibly low budget and quite 70’s. But…
Oh man o man o man. Yeah, baby! After quite the absence, www.were-here.com is back online! Dayam! People are posting like crazy in Just Converastion, and nerdy me… I never took WH off as my homepage. Earlier, as I was opening a new IE window, I thought "Gee, maybe I should wait and see if it’ll HOLEEEE CRAP!" Lo and…
Nevermind. Back up now.
My ISP is, apparently, experiencing some serious technical difficulties. Again. Their servers were acting up a bit while I was in Alabama, and now this. Ah well, it’s not life or death for me here. Just my little blog. But I can’t update, or get e-mail or anything – we’ll see if things change this evening.
Stu was in the office this evening, dropping off the photos he took of the UltraCrib promotion. We met up outside the Merchandise Mart, and Stu was really happy with Rey’s reactions (or, shall we say that Rey was really taken with Stu’s work). We all walked to Stu’s car, and decided on dinner together La Scarola. This place is…
Well, to be honest – nothing all that much happened during the day. Worked on cleaning up a Flash/ASP news ticker that Justin and I started last Friday, so that was quite nice. Everything’s working now, and it’s one more little "module" that we can offer to the station webmasters. Woot! Spent a part of the day researching Flash MX’s…
I’ve been trying to read the most recent novel by Jeffrey Eugenides, called Middlesex. Been trying to read it off and on, and it hasn’t really grabbed me yet. But I’m only a few pages in, and have been hovering at the point where I’m re-reading the beginning, worried I’m missing something. I absolutely loved his first novel, The Virgin…
On the train, I sat behind a couple and their two kids (boys). I could hear parts of their conversation, and the mom was answering some of the older boy’s questions about where babies come from. The dad seemed to be distracted by the window and didn’t really say all that much. The mom didn’t give the exact scientific way…
I liked it so much, I tried to make a black ninja mask out of some fabric laying around the house. And some makeshift nunchuks.
I remember seeing American Ninja on cable when I was a kid. And I remember liking it.
Why have I been twice hypnotized by movies that air in Spanish? Earlier tonight, it was American Ninja 2: The Confrontation and Kickboxer 2: The Road Back. These aren’t terribly compelling movies, but something about them… made me stop and watch for a while. What I want to know is… why? Because I’m a guy, with a genetic weakness for…
No real idea how I spent the day. Puttering is a great word that I use all too often. I cleaned up a few things here and there, but nothing meaningful. My apartment is still largely a mess of boxes intermixed with piles of clean, unfolded laundry. I watched Panic Room earlier. Good. Not great, not fascinating, but good. I’ve…
Today was going to be this super productive day where I went on a bunch of errands. After I found out about my car problems, my motivation level sort of plummeted. I walked to K-Mart, the grocery store, and picked up a few items. On the way home (this was around 8:30 AM), I passed by a Hispanic man with…
This morning, I went to my car and it wouldn’t start. Crap sammich. Wasn’t sure what the problem was – it would rev, but ultimately wouldn’t turn over. And I know jack about cars. I talked to my old coworker Dave, and he posited that it might be the battery. He suggested that I get a jump – if the…
I am hoping you will smile, and brush your hand across my lips, offer me water and a place to sleep.
