Things which suck and things which do not suck:
I haven’t written in an age for two reasons in particular. #1 would be that my computer is still in the shop, so I only get the chance to update if I am at Joel’s house, and up until this past Tuesday, his father and stepmother [...]

I’ve been considering earworms just lately, because I’ve had one or another of them stuck in my head constantly for the past two weeks or so. It started with Morning Coffee, a sweet, wistful, decade-old Japanese bubblegum pop hit from the first incarnation of the wildly popular and enduring Morning Musume. The song is all [...]

Man, the weather this week has just been loathesome. It was booger-freezing weather for the first half of the week, then sleet today. I guess it’s supposed to be snowy tomorrow, which is fine by me. Beats freezing-ass cold with wind (Tuesday) and snow tends not to soak in, nor form a crust over your [...]

Most highschoolers aren’t the most discerning of folks. I know my tastes during that phase of my life were pretty awful, not that they aren’t questionable to this day. Still, kids know what they like and don’t like, and I don’t think I’m going very far out on a limb to say that most kids [...]

Apparently Meyers-Briggs and suchlike are hot on the brains over at 3WA. I started to contribute to the conversations a couple of times, but couldn’t really bring it to a useful and non-offensive conclusion, because the fact of the matter is, I hate those fuckin’ tests. I mean!
Years ago, back when I was working The [...]

I think it took all of three minutes to vote. Seriously, there was hardly any turnout at my local polling station. There was one woman leaving when I got there, and two men and another woman showed up as I was on my way out. No lines, no pollsters, no campaigners hanging [...]

I have a whole category for “Dumb Things I Have Done.”
That is because doing dumb things comes very naturally to me, and in the course of writing journal (online or otherwise) various recurring themes emerge based upon those things one does regularly. In my case, doing dumb things.
So, today’s dumbness:
1. Chucking a little pot of [...]

My current job falls roughly within the realms of “PR and Marketing.” Technically I’m in communications, though mostly what I do is business-writing, which suits me fine. Because the work that I do fits best in the pigeonhole marked “PR and Marketing,” I occasionally receive fliers and professional publications from the real PR [...]

Dang, I was all fired up and feeling hopeful yesterday when I looked out an office window and could hardly see the building across the way. The air was thick with snowflakes. Yesss! Finally, the first snow ride of the year. Snow is the consolation we get for what is otherwise about 4 months of [...]

Yesterday I felt terribly smug about how my journal has become significantly less whiney in recent times. I sure set myself up for something, let me tell you.
I had something akin to the adult version of Alexander’s Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day today. It was a day of bungling, being thwarted, and reacting [...]
