Went to Nola’s again. The last time I was here, I was also with Kent. But tonight, I met two other friends of his: Mike and Tanya. They were both quite cool folks – it took us a little while to get comfortable (a lot of job/career/what-do-you-do talk at the start). But by the end…
Earlier today, I let Justin know that I was going to be having dinner with Kent and some of his friends. When he found out, Justin was a bit jealous (as he hasn’t seen Kent in a while). Justin made me take a picture so that I could show it to Kent, which I thought…
So the Simpsons are over, and I’m flipping around a bit. I come across a PBS Documentary that starts off with a camera tracking a lion running at top speed, along with a deep voiceover that says: In the struggle for survival, Nature only rewards the victor. Is it wrong that I got a hard-on…
1) I’m getting closer to 30.2) I work with code for a living.3) I’ve analyzed Greek mythology before, and I’d do it again. Hm… is a forum a secret society?
"Morgan, this crop stuff is just about a bunch of nerds who never had a girlfriend their lives. They’re like thirty now. They make up secret codes and analyze Greek mythology and make secret societies where other guys who never had girlfriends can join in. They do stupid crap like this to feel special. It’s…
Got things worked out – the nav is no longer under the impression that 2003 is a leap year. Also, it seems like an errant button (in the 31st day slot) was active, when it shouldn’t have been. Also fixed. I threw in a "current day" signifier, along with a button that links to the…
So yesterday morning, I’m out and about. I’ve run to Stanley’s to pick up all my veggies for the week, and stop in to get some DVD’s at a nearby blockbuster. I dig around some, and decide that one of the movies I want to see is Spy Kids. Now – before you get all…
Today, I was living in a constant state of yawning. I woke up early, and got a few errands done. I hate errands, no doubt due in part to this "time" issue of mine. But where I’m trying to rush around and get things done… I come home and just sit on my ass. I’m…
My confession here is that I still don’t know HTML all that well. We had a sort of emergency thing this morning, where a radio station’s client needed to have their pages fixed quickly – and threatened to withdraw the rest of their business for the year. I worked a bit to get things updated,…
Sometime early in the week, Grumpy and TS7 changed names and tried playing UT (pretending to be the other). Tonight, everyone changed names and became a variation of Thrillho, which was pretty damn fun. I had no idea who was who, and I still don’t know. So nerdy… it hurts.
Something happened today that jogged my memory. I recalled a thought that I had, a while back… that you define your friends based on trust: specifically, the ingestion of certain foodstuffs. Imagine a complete stranger, walking up to you on the street. They had you a styrofoam cup filled with a strange-looking liquid. They tell…
A few days back, Justin and I were going to carpool in to work – partly because we knew it would be a late night, and partly because we wanted to get in early to work. I missed a bunch of his calls, and he ended up leaving a few messages on my machine (which…
by Denis Johnson The Vine was like a railroad club car that had somehow run itself off the tracks into a swamp of time where it awaited the blows of the wrecking ball. And the blows really were coming. Because of Urban Renewal, they were tearing up and throwing away the whole downtown. And here…
I’ve been meaning to put a few quotations from Jesus’ Son, a collection of short stories by Denis Johnson. There was a movie made a few years back – I saw it maybe a year or two ago, but fell asleep after about 30 minutes. I’m always wary of movie adaptations, especially when one movie…
This is something pretty damn incredible. :D
