Tuesday : 22 November 05
Another day down and one more to go.

On the whole, the workday wasn’t terrible. But, it was busy. The network issue that I dealt with last week – on Tuesday, in fact – reared it’s head again today. *braincramp* And it was from two of the same people that I dealt with last week. Yay. The solution that I gave to one person seems to have been effective (so far); the other’s system is fighting tooth-and-nail to remain possessed. Personally, I think that it’s Pazuzu. (Somebody call Max von Sydow… and keep him away from tall stairways, this time.) I can’t just nuke the system from orbit – there would be too much collateral damage. But it’s mighty tempting…

After work, I was tired. So, I figured that I would take a nap. However, the whole “taking a nap” concept requires one’s eyelids to remain closed. Watching Firefly on SciFi is not conducive to the requisite eye closure. It was the first time that I had seen the show. I watched parts of two episodes. It’s pretty good. I wouldn’t mind seeing the show’s entire run… and Serenity.

Stray Toasters

  • I did something to myself at the gym this afternoon. Not sure if I overdid something or if it’s just a flare-up of an old injury. Either way, it’s a tad painful. Not devastatingly so, but enough to make certain movements slightly unpleasant.
  • This morning, I finally ripped the Billie Holiday box set that I borrowed from my mother… two years ago.
  • If you say run, I’ll run with you
    If you say hide, we’ll hide

  • Chupacabra!
  • “The signs! They’re out to get me!” –
  • : You might be amused by this. (But, it’s not where I thought it would/should be.)
  • From neatorama: The Fatal Consequences of…
  • By way of : Keep Your Jesus Off My Penis – for mature viewers and possibly NSFW
  • Who needs Sim City when you can have City Creator?!
  • “We should have a rave.”

  • I can deal with the idea of two-drawer dishwashers, at least in theory. However, the concept, as proposed by boingboing.net of “You can keep a “dirty” drawer and a “clean” drawer and never empty the dishwasher — just use the clean compartment as your current cupboard and switch when the dirty compartment gets full and you run its cycle,” just makes me wince.
  • I don’t know whether or not this is real (though, I doubt it), but I do know that it makes me laugh like a fiend.
  • Four… new episodes… of… Justice League Unlimited… in… January…?! YES!!!
  • You better, you better, you bet!

Namaste.
