My Husband

Is a jork.
I just emailed him that something wasn’t going to be ready for pickup after work as we initially thought.
He called me.
“is it something I can get at another Walgeeen’s?”
“no, it has to be special-ordered and I already took the backup pills instead. “
“well, that’s okay then. It’s just that I [...]

Yes, It’s Racist

I’m watching one of my infamous court shows. I just saw a black judge ask somebody why she welshed on an agreement.
It’s racist. Just like saying you feel ‘gypped’ or someone ‘jewed’ you down on the price.
There is a lot of anti-Welsh sentiment in Britain. Even if you weren’t aware of it before, now [...]

Bring The Random

Some kid on the Web has stolen my nick (Mycropht) and it’s ridiculous how much it bothers me.   I feel like at 38 I shouldn’t care about petty geek stuff.   Then again I also feel like at 38 I’ve used this nick for so long that it should be durned clear to everyone [...]

I Accidentally Find Myself Nude On The Internet

I have an iPod Touch, and it has ‘wallpaper’. All that seems to mean is that you have a neato picture when you first turn it on–unless you have the phone feature the Wallpaper function is barely necessary. But I’m a lover of pictures and so I decided to go online to [...]

Hack Alert

Yes, it’s Monday. Yes, I’m having a not fantastic day.
But there is something very freeing about cutting your own hair.
I’ve been putting off getting a haircut for ages now, but I just couldn’t stand it anymore. I was starting to feel weighed down, and it was getting [...]

And God Said ‘Let There Be Robots’

I’d like to take this moment to apologize to my many atheist friend and to offer them comfort. I’d also like to apologize to and console my many cynical friends and those skeptical of mysticism.
BSG’s finale sucked for you guys.

Okay, it kinda sucked for me, too. But at least I have already invested [...]

I Need This Explained To Me By People Who Are Smarter Than Me

Everything I’ve read and heard about this huge economic downturn attributes the mess in large part to people doing stupid things with credit. I’ve read more than a few stories about waitresses, dental hygenists and administrative assistants* getting lured into house flipping, only to find themselves staring at million dollar losses and [...]

Spring…Woo Hoo!

I’ve not got as much going on in the gardening department as this lady over here. But I will say that I was just out in my backyard and noticed something….
Flowerbuds on the Wisteria.
My friends, that is the first whisper of spring, and it is right there all soft and green and purple-grey. [...]
