Windows, O Windows! How do I despise thee? Let me count the ways… Jesus H. tapdancing Christ on a cracker. ALL I wanted to do was finish scanning the last four or five photos, using the same goddamned scanner I’d just used to scan…oh, probably thirty-five photos. Did you “lose” that scanner, Windows?

Since Christmas morning, unless I am actually, physically asleep, my iPhone is probably at least in my hand, if not actually in use. No, I don’t call anyone that often; I’m just playing with cool features. God, this fucking thing is seriously awesome! At first, I played with settings to see what everything did, and, […]

No explanation needed beyond “Dutch”. 😛 Dutch Word of the Year Today the Dutch word of the year was announced and the winner was ‘swaffelen’ which means to sweep the male organ from side to side while banging against an object such as a building.

How come Cirque du Soleil didn’t look like that years ago? It used to be a bunch of wiry little French guys who looked more feminine than I do and probably moonlighted as street mimes, but the ones they’ve got on Time Warp right now are none of French, little or feminine. Jesus Christ…it’s like […]
