Don’t be nasty. (Syd, I’m looking at you.)
I had a dream last night that Bayou and I were shopping for clothes because we lost weight. (Something I reeeeaaaallly hope happens in the near future.) We were in this Costco-sized department store that seemed to go on for miles.
We found some clothes and decided to peruse [...]
…because I made my first pot roast of the season last night.
If you’d like to recreate this yummy-ness, here’s the recipe:
And I mean warped in the nice way. Only this friend would think to send me something this out-of-left-field.
I was waking by my work mailbox today when I noticed the interoffice envelope. My first thought was “I’m in trouble for something”, which is warped in a different sense.
I picked it up and noticed it had [...]
…how do you stop yourself from failing when you know you’re about to? How do you cease self-sabotaging out of sheer, utter misery with a situation?
Because I am that person who sits in your section, at your office, who has that black cloud of angst 24-7.
Because I lack anything substantive to say, and because I am massively fatigued from 18+ hours of driving yesterday/today, I present you with The Sneaky Squirrel.
Since I moved to my new team, there has been a lot of talk about how we help our wonderful Indian counterparts improve. Numerous discussions this week had me poring over the approaches I used when there.
Last night I dreamed that the Cool Company sent me back over to work with the new team, and [...]
…but this has to be one of the funniest things I’ve seen yet.
I Am The Walrus, indeed.
Bayou and I were out and about yesterday when we saw the worst signage. It was for the Double Tree Hotel, offering its premises for holiday parties.
“Have your holiday office party in our restr. Call XXX-XXX-XXXX now.”
As we looked at it, Bayou uttered what we were both thinking:
“The way that’s written screams ‘restroom’ to me, [...]
She’s so tech-savy.
Looks like living in Seattle has turned me into a neo-Luddite hippie.
I took the 43 Things Personality Quiz and found out I’m a
Self-Improving Self-Knowing Tree Hugger
That’s sort how I feel today.

Here’s one. The internet truly does have everything, doesn’t it?

“Real Seattleites don’t use umbrellas.”
So what qualifies as a ‘real Seattleite”?
I’ve lived here for 9 years, but am not a native of Washington State. Does that make me a faux Seattleite?
Anyway, I NEVER use an umbrella, for two three reasons:
1. They’re more of a pain in the ass than a help. One more nasty wet [...]
There are a lot of reasons to research things- mitigating risk, general interest, perspective.
And oftentimes, money.
The eBay auction for this 1963 Pontiac LeMans Tempest started out innocently enough. Obtained after owner died. Appears to have original interior but no motor, no transmission. Body has a little rust and some dents. There’s stuff in the [...]
I am such a geek for odd things- for instance, I am total lover of pinball.
Ever since I was a kid, and my parents would bowl in a league together, I would play pinball while they bowled. I grew to love the controlled chaos of the machines, the way the ball would slam against the [...]
My friend Texass sent this URL via text message, and I’m damn glad. I needed a freakin’ laugh today. Apparently, it’s the week of Assclownery. It’s getting old.
So I may be the only one who finds this funny, but what the hell.
I work with an investigator who is German, and we share a love of photography. I’d sent him a link to our Flickr account to see the photos from last weekend. He perused for a bit then IM’d me:
“What’s Lach?”
I explained [...]
Especially if it involves watching Amy Matthews deconstructing and reconstructing it all.
Damn hot for a blonde.
And yes, this is how I wash off the stink of the presidential debates.

As someone who busts the Internet bad guys, this one makes me laugh every time.
The p-p-p-powerbook story is one of great internet detectivery, drama, scamming the scammer, and lulz. Once upon a time, there was a SomethingAwful goon named MyNameIsJeff. His friend named Corey had an Apple Powerbook in brand-new condition which he wanted to [...]
