Into the Ether

I started a new job this month and it's a kajillion times busier than my last job. With a busier job and up to THREE TIMES the amount of whining I need to do because of it, my time has been sparse. Pshew.
But I have been trying to remotely send in posts via email.....forsooth, where hath they gone? Oh well. Perhaps to an evil nega-blog in an alternate inter-verse? No, prolly not, just wanted to use "nega-blog" and "inter-verse"....I live a sad life.
Oops. Chewed up too much time...gotta go.

Verbage

So, since I don't have time right now....it's very busy, annoyingly so.....i've even had to decide if I wanted to "drop the kids off".....I decided against it....they're still with me....and ANGRY.    So instead of real posts, I'll post the spam that I get.  I love the prose:

"their questions. Though they were much relieved, they were inclined to
be grumpy at being frightened for nothing; but what they would have
said, if he had told them at that moment about the Arkenstone, I dont"

Always leaving me hanging....

An Open Letter to: The Housekeeper

Dear Housekeeper at the Hotel that I'm staying at:

How are you?  I just wanted to let you know that you are doing a great job.  Seriously.  You keep everything very neat; yeah I know it's your job, but you do it well....except for that day that my toothbrush was face down on the sink....not cool, I have serious bathroom issues (post later).  Anyway, I think that the best part of my stay here is your willingness to play along with my stupid little habit.  Every day you leave me a new bar of soap.  Thank you.  You know that I have my own soap and haven't used any of the ones you've left.  However, each day you leave one more bar of soap so that I can add it to my unused soap bar pyramid.  We are up to nine bars.  It's truly majestic. 
Thanks for playing along.
 

Switching Gears

Hola Cougarinos.
Sigh. I'm almost done with this ridiculousness. My Despondency Index [DI] was peaking for a while, but things are improving. I'm almost done with this conference and I'm not sure whether I want it over or whether I want to go back to my job. That's rough. How did this post get so depressing? Anyway, there were a bunch of things that I learned here; here they are:
1) My bladder is really small
2) Most people think I'm a delivery guy
3) Mitchum totally doesn't work for my B.O. Sorry folks. "Skip a day" my ass.
4) If I hear the phrase "We're just going to switch gears here..." one more time....
5) This is the Heart Of Darkness
6) A whole crapload of other stuff that I've forgotten

Lingkz:
-Beautiful microscopic photographs on flickr; and pinball macro photos
-Awesome proof that global warming is happening and is real. from sfgate (via kottke)
-Funny prank video clip...bless the russian mafia
-Love the idane head butt....what was said? Who the f knows, but the speculation is awesome here...here....here.
-Hey! Check it out! Wired is finally on the web! Weird, right? Apparently the conde nastys acquired Wired this week and will finally allow them to have a real web presence at wired.com (yeah, I don't understand it all...summary: all jacked up). Here's word from Chris Anderson's blog (editor).
-Kick ass street installations from Mark Jenkins (prev posted in 2/06)....if someone happens to live in D,C, they should TOTALLY go look for these
-Very good movie of 8 1/2 [fellini] set to 8 Mile [eminem] resulting in: 8 1/2 Mile.

imminent collapse

It's collapse is coming soon....No, no, not my spirit.  Not yet.  I mean my hard drive.  It's purring at me with the occasional grunt.  Uh oh....Not right now you adorable widdle hawd dwive, if you cwash, i'll be fowced to destwroy you wif a cute widdle machete.  Seriously.  I'm gonna get all Friday the 13th on yer SCSI ass.  Fo Rills, yo.

One chance

So, the other night at a concert, I saw a girl and as she was walking by I said "Great shirt, nice boobies" and she said "Hey thanks!".  Sure, that may sound bad to you now...but you only get one chance to say that....cuz she was wearing THIS shirt.

Alright, I know I haven't been posting alot; though I'm sure it doesn't bother any of you, it sure bothers me. I have been taking a mild hiatus from active writing. I just started a new job yesterday and it's much busier than my last job...and is already proving to be trying to say the least. Also, I no longer have an office and don't have a desk at home...bummer. Furthermore, I need to be studying for a certain huge test in about a month....yikes. Regardless, I'll post when I can and am sure I'll have spurts of posts at certain times. Anyway, I hope everyone's doing well. Later.
