Now I remember why I had never joined Flickr groups. Aside from the fact that I’m not by nature a “joiner” (I’m a “do what I want and if you want to come along, I won’t stop you”), having to be even virtually social makes me tired, and I don’t like to have all of […]

Dear Arseholes Living Two Houses Down The Street, As much as I am pleased you’ve finally got rid of that fucking yapping little mutt you used to leave outside all day, “vocalising”, the Rottweiler isn’t any better. Less yap and more woof, but still VERY GOD DAMNED ANNOYING. I understand that you have to work, […]

Holy shit. I am not easy to shock, not at all. If a kink exists, I’ve probably at least heard about it, and as long as both parties are consenting adults, I’m fine with it even if I can’t understand why anyone would want to do it. Screw anyone who’s old enough to do so […]

Jesus Christ. That’ll teach me to go look at pictures of tattoos. I like tattoos–had one since I was seventeen and lied about my age to get it–but they’re not for everyone, everywhere. Mine is on my left shoulder and I mostly don’t even think about it, but DAMN, some people just don’t get that […]

Oh my GAWD, there really was a desk under all this shite! Even though I didn’t completely clean it up (it would take a full day just to sort through the papers I’ve got shoved into and beside folders), I did finally clean up my workspace. Now, it seems like my monitor sits up higher, […]

Well, I guess it figures. I’ve had a Flickr Pro account for almost a year. I got it mostly so I don’t have to fill family and friends’ Inboxes with attachments, and it’s only lately that I’ve even had much activity on my images. Might have something to do with the fact that I’d never […]

Well, that left me feeling a bit flat. There was a kernel update available in the repos this AM, and since the kernel is the very core of the OS, as it downloaded, I mentally went over the list to make sure I had everything that I needed. Backup of xorg.conf, copy of the Nvidia […]

Just when you think your grammarant could not possibly get any longer, you read this: This is exactly why you go to school, learn a trade, or bust your ass to accel in something. Yes, that is “accel” as in the first two syllables of “accelerate”. I’m going to guess that he meant “excel”. I […]

For the last fucking time… It’s would’ve or would have. It is NOT “would of.” Regardless (NOT “irregardless”, which is not even a word) of what you think you’re hearing, “would of” does not even make sense! How can you not see that? Well, aside from the fact that you’re (that would be the contracted […]

For Christ’s sake, somebody turn on the heat! My beloved Canon returned home last Wednesday. According to the paperwork, they attributed the weird noise to its having “sustained some kind of shock”, which is patently false unless their definition of “some kind of shock” could be fulfilled by having it tap lightly against my sternum […]
