I’m caught up with housework, paid work, my own computer maintenance and water changes (well, when I finish today’s, but there are only four). I’m caught up with replies and PMs on AQM, on Flickr–including comments on my contacts’ photos–and caught up on email to almost everyone, except for L., and he’ll understand. I wrote […]

Don’t want to change the goddamned fish tanks, either. Perfect time for a little critique of Flickr Explore! 🙂 Yeah, I “liberated” all of these images, but nobody who gives a shit will ever see my bitch blog anyway. WTF any of these are doing in “interestingness”, I will never know. #1 What the hell […]

I wasn’t in bad shape for the first round yesterday, but by 1800h during the second round, I was seriously beginning to wonder. Thankfully, we had Ben on our card for the second round, and he’s so damned funny that you have to laugh even when you’re hot (94F and not a breeze to be […]

Perfectly normal banner advert (didn’t block it because it was hosted on-site and not a site I usually visit): I did, however, turn off the goddamned flashing, but not before I noticed this: So, roughly translated, Reactine and Benadryl sponsor….Engrish. Stupid quiz that gives you the thing that annoying people keep putting in their Flickr […]

I am so grateful that I have just one sibling. When the phone rang, I ignored it a first, thinking that anyone calling that late probably wasn’t someone I wanted to talk to anyway, but then I looked at the clock and realised that it was even later than I’d thought–2225h. Curious, I checked the […]

I have died and gone to linguistic heaven–I stumbled across the IDEA (International Dialects of English Archive) site! I’ve often said that I would like a “collection” of accents, and here I have found exactly that! Many are reading the same boring text, but….accents from all over the world. Not boring. I listened to “Nigeria” […]

Top Ten Reasons to not diet below healthy weight range, not get boob implants, and to (especially) avoid prolonged sun exposure: Reason #1 – Someday, you won’t be twenty anymore. Reason #2 Uh….never mind–that one’s more than enough. Jesus tapdancing Christ, that is one scaaaaary old bag!

Somehow, I managed another (long-overdue) DB backup and WP upgrade without fucking anything up! It’s amazing how much I can accomplish when I’m trying to avoid doing something I don’t want to do….

When we got to the park this morning, I noticed some graffiti written on one of the picnic tables. The instant I read it, I knew who’d written it because I saw them when they left yesterday. Two guys, one old and one younger, both rednecks (one obviously so), driving a battered white Lumina bearing […]

There, you see? That’s what happens when you get something into your stubborn little head and refuse to even consider what I’m telling you. A whole pond full of sturdy goldfish don’t all get sick with a bacterial infection at the same time just because of some temperature fluctuation and a mini-cycle, but when you […]
