This isn't a meme, really - at least it isn't meant as such - but I sort of had an idea. 2007 is winding to a close, and I wondered if anyone out there had anything they were burning to say to me before the year ended ( Read more... )

It's making the rounds again, but it's rather cute and somewhat useful, rather like someone saying, "Okay, you're next!" at an otherwise dull cocktail party. At that point, I might be convinced, given enough alcohol and my level of social annoyance at the time, to tell a version of "The Aristocrats", but instead, this is an acceptable substitute ( Read more... )

By the by...longtime readers know that I have periodically kept a watch on this journal's Flesch-Kincaid Scale. This is a technique developed by some guy in the U.S. Navy to determine the grade level necessary to read a bit of given material ( Read more... )

goudagirl posted that interview meme, and I went right to the bait. I'm a sucker for those things...which, as they are, are pretty good for memes. At least we have a chance to open up about ourselves a little and control the responses a bit better, instead of finding out that if I was a Pokémon, I'd be Squirtle, or something ( Read more... )

My paid account ran out (whine, whine) so I can't create a poll, but if I could, it would concern "Things That One Can and Should Do When Attempting to Do Something Technical". I spent my morning on the phone with a customer whose assessment of the situation at his site approximated something like "Clicky thing NOT WORK! Want pretty pictures!! ( Read more... )

Did nothing of particular consequence this weekend, which was oh, such a good feeling, given the amount of runaround I'd been subjected to during the week. Did manage to drive off to the Bay to end up talking politics (and getting a few things resolved) with robb_black at a redneck dive bar on Saturday night; Sunday night involved watching Samurai Champloo ( Read more... )

So today I walked outside in my lounge set (okay, pajamas, basically...but they're really nice. They're a night t-shirt and a floppy, roomy pair of drawstring pants that I got at one of those innumerable outlets along the highway while I was on my way down South recently) and I tripped over a FedEx envelope.
