SpeeD’oh

Friday, February 19th, 2010

I’m zipping along on the way to work, and just as I think to myself how pissed I’d be, if I were on the scooter, and someone went past as fast as I’m going, when I see a highway patrolman.  He saw me too.  We had a nice and expensive conversation.  D’ohwell.

They can’t all be drinking games

Friday, January 29th, 2010

Every friday at work, we have some sort of fun, random, activity.  Usually they are really cool things, like the playdough food contest, or the scotch identification contest.  This week, it was some annoying test-conference parlor game of reverse engineering the ‘algorithm’ the presenter had come up with.  I’m not clear if the people I work with with just being polite, or if they really found some sort of value out of the experience.  I personally, found it a very annoying waste of time on an already over packed day.  I know how to reverse engineer, I don’t take jobs that would require that level of tedium for a reason.

And it didn’t help that, despite making it quite clear to my team, that I really didn’t give a shit about this stupid activity, one of the guys just keeps needling me to solve it for him.  Dude, there are 2 other guys on the team, ask them a fucking question, leave me the fuck alone.  Stop poking the bear that just bit you with a stick.

Wow.  Synchronicity.  Guy who poked me with a stick just came by to apologize.  He’s a bigger man than I.

Trying To Relax

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

I’m trying really hard to relax

Putting in all my effort

Giving it everything I’ve got

I worry about it all the time

Nothing stresses me out more

Than trying to relax.

Waiting by the phone

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Waiting for a phone call

I almost don’t want to come

Thank goodness for the cellphone

At least I can be miserable

And out in public

Yeah, much better than

The old days

Sitting at home.

No Stairs

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

For any birthday I might have over, say the age of 70, if you want to get me something, make it a party location that doesn’t have any stairs.  I just left a birthday party for a 91 year old father of a friend.  It was going very well right up to the point where he fell down some stairs at the restaurant, and had to be taken to the hospital with a possible broken/twisted knee.  Here’s hoping he’s all right in the end.

Tetris Fail

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

You would think that all those hours spent on tetris would finally have found a practical application.

I got a new camera bag that has reconfigurable baffles, and I just can’t come up with an elegant arrangement of camera body and lenses.  I found one that I’m happy with from a functional standpoint, but aesthetically, it looks like ass, and I can’t help but feel like there is a ‘right’ way I could make it all this fit in the bag and look like it belonged that way.

All in all, a minor complaint compared to where I was with the first bag, which I hated with a passion.  Not the passion of a thousand suns or anything, more like 20-30 suns tops, a sub-standard mix of red, yellow, and a smattering of white dwarfs for flavor.

Tomorrow, I’ll head out to see how it works in the field.

High diving into a shot glass

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Sometimes, it seems like I’m trying to jump off a 20m platform, and into a shot glass.

I probably won’t hit the target, and even if I did, it’d still be a big mess.

Don’t Piss Off Carrie

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

I think Carrie Fisher might be a little pissed today.

BLOW MY BIG BOVINE tiny dancer COCK!

Users Without Comments

It’s not clear why someone would sign up for an account, but not post something, since there’s no other benefit for signing up.  When googling for your name reveals claims of account hackery… <shrug>

New Shirt day

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

“Hello

I see my assassins

have failed again”

“WTF?”

“I did hear you

I just don’t care”

“Meat is murder

Tasty, tasty murder”

“I didn’t buy this cause it says fuck

I bought it cause it says fuck twice”
