I want to coin the term/phrase "Biggest Weed Effect" or something like it. Basically, the scenario that happens when getting done with the biggest part of a job then makes the next-biggest part the biggest part [more visible] and so on and so forth, creating the feeling that something will never get done because one's initial estimation of the time ( Read more... )

On Doonesbury's site:"The threshold question: It's not usually asked, but it's in everyone's mind in a presidential election. 'Should we give this person nuclear weapons?' ...Answers itself."

Warning! A Huge Battleship "Bullshit Neojank" Is Approaching Fast.

So I got a Krawk! =D It's like the Corvette of Neopets--not ( Read more... )

Helper was a thorn in my side as per usual, with the usual footnotes [read: I recognize the need for cross-training, even when it's at a hinderance to myself, because that's just how it works]. I think what gets me the most is her paranoia on my behalf--we had 270 checks today [medium-large load], but even when it's 100 checks, I get this horrified ( Read more... )

Normally, I sit and catalogue every little thing we get for Giftmas, but I'm still on that arbitrary deadline thing [with the prognosis not looking good], and I really don't feel I have the time for it. Sum: GIR, FMA, Stitch, bad movies, clothes, AND A DESK UNDER MY COMPUTER [which ate 90 mins for assembly plus cleaning besides ( Read more... )

The last time I dyed anything besides my hair was back in college, and it was a PAIN each time I did it. I got to relive that by deciding that the pants I didn't look closely enough at when they were in the store were too navy blue and not enough black, subsequently spending the better part of two hours and thirty gallons of water getting them that ( Read more... )

Buncha things I meant to post but had no time--I'm down to the last odd maps and only taking sanity breaks, with so much lost sleep that I've been having a hard time getting myself awake even when it's half an hour until work =p and my father's still prodding me about this account stuff and getting my brakes checked ( Read more... )

Because it depresses me to report in on failure of employment, I won't say anything else about it until I post a photo saying, "HAY GUYZ HEER IS WHERE I WORKS NOW LOLOLOLOL!!1" [BTW, you guys know when I use chatspeak and "!!1" for anything, you have to take it with a grain of salt, right? That's my shorthand for "I have my tongue in my cheek," or ( Read more... )

It feels like the end of an era. It seems innocent enough, entering a contest for fan works [expanded from mere art to basically "any format possible"], but there's this scribble of Neirenn with her water guardian thingie in a JoJo's-esque pose that's been sitting by my computer since conception, essentially, with very little time put into it ( Read more... )

In a Sabrina moment, I have been ejected from my capacity to independently carouse TEH INNAWEBS via random surge that has killed most likely my motherboard but also Chars's one-year-old telly [really] and a shit ton of Shu's stuff.

Fucking what.
