I rarely know what you’re talking about.

Outta the bag

As you may or may not have read here, there’s a bit of news:

Fortunately Erin’s eight weeks along, so the kid probably won’t be born a heroin addict. Or a Tylenol-3 addict.

Waitin’ for the man

Yeah, so Tylenol with codeine? Kind of will fuck you up. I mean, technically my back hurts less, but at what point does a lack of back pain stop being so beneficial? When it coincides with an opiate stupor, that’s when. Christ, I’ve practically got dead babies crawling across the ceiling here. If you at [...]

Thankful.

God damn, am I a lucky sonofabitch. Observe:
• The Wife: Awesome, foxy, more fun than a barrel of mandrill baboons.
• The Friends: Better than anybody has a right to have. Halliwell alone would be an achievement, but add the Szaszkos and Natrone & Jen and the Crutchmers and the KeKinders and the Matt Claytons and [...]

Back to the future

Today’s experiment is a little ditty I like to call “Exploring the world of searing pain.” Apparently a disc in my back is falling down on the job, and thus one of my vertebrae is pinching my left sciatic nerve. On a practical level, this means a combination of severe achin’ and big-time numbness whenever [...]

Workin’ it

So far “Operation: Work While on Vacation” is going almost suspiciously well. Well, kind of. Better than daytime work, anyway. I wake up about the same time as I usually do, get ready then too, but then instead of going to work, I go to the coffee shop. After the requisite 45 to 90 minutes [...]

RRRRROW! RRRRROW! RRRRRAAAOOOW!!!

Erin’s detailed this on her own, but it’s worth mentioning again that our blessed old crusty cat Sal has managed to get himself so severe and monstrous a neck wound that he now requires twice-daily bouts of scrubbing with peroxide and a Q-Tip (inside the wound and WAY UP UNDER THE SKIN, just so we’re [...]

Off!

Frug. How happy am I that it’s the weekend?
Almost as happy as I am that I’m off work all next week.
TU, have I wept tears of thanks to you lately for the nearly ridiculous amount of leave time you give your Administrative/Professional employees? No? Are you sure?
Well, no matter. I’ll get to that next week. [...]

Nothing.

Indications are that I got nothing this week. I’m working my ass off, to the point where today I’ve got a doctor’s appointment to see about reinforcing my ass. Here’s hoping it’s duct tape and not staples.
Also, it now appears project: Linux is no more. I got the Linux laptop home and was feeling my [...]

In Memoriam

… This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

Sweet Home Tulslahoma

Oh friends, it’s so on. Tomorrow at just after noon, our Southern connection/class mistress k is TOTALLY COMING TO TOWN AND OMIGODWE’REGONNAHAVESOMUCHFUN.
I mean, okay, technically it’ll mainly involve drinking. And hanging out, and then drinking. Drinking too, y’know.
But did anybody say that doesn’t rule? I know I didn’t.
Also Dr. 12 makes his triumphant return from [...]
