for reasons i can’t decipher the 10 guys bowling on alleys 3 & 4 tonight decided to break into a spontaneous acapella version of day-o.

darling ones, i have decided to share my scary bedhead with the world. i am sure my mom will be so proud.

mike doughty in a big red turtleneck sweater and black glasses makes my parts tingle.
thanks wes!

It’s common knowledge in softwareland that when you are going to be let go, the first thing they do is block your connection to the network. So when you try to login, it says your password is incorrect.
Imagine my surprise when I went to login Wednesday morning only to find my password was denied.
I sat [...]

i wish there was someone here that i could make smell my fingers (no not because i’ve been defiling my body) because they reek! i’ve washed my hands about 73 times and i still can’t get the oniony garlic smell out.

ok, i just got done chopping up the garlic and now the spaghettic sauce is bubbling happily in the crockpot. lots of peppers and onions, i hope you don’t mind. i’ve got some good roasted garlic bread to go with it too! and for dessert, ben & jerry’s karamel sutra!
you should probably show up around [...]

password denied is up over at backwash about wednesday’s big layoff at softwareland.

if i were to spend the rest of the day with my hand down the front of my pants in a comatose like state it’d still be a productive day, because i went grocery shopping!
it wasn’t even too heinous. wonders never cease.
while driving home i saw a red minivan with a bumper sticker that said [...]

reason #456 why i’m still single:
who wouldn’t be terrified to wake up next to this and this? hell, even i’m a little afriad.

i’m in one of those “save the speeches for malcom x, i just wanna get laid” moods. not good, not good at all.
remember that movie?

to make up for my utter slackitude at softwareland today, i had to work my ass off at the bowling alley. they made me work– it was brutal. but well worth the effort, since i was tipped quite generously.
in other news i’m tired. i’m going to marry the first man who buys me children’s books [...]

when this email popped into my inbox this morning, just like i showed you, i had such an instantaneous, intense reaction it surprised even me. parts of me i thought might be dead from lack of use started to tingle. i thought of doing things i’d never tell my mom about. mmmm, good.

so here we are. i’m super sad and lonely today. i’m not quite sure why, just am. perhaps it’s the sudden change from summer to fall. i like to blame most everything on the weather whenever it’s possible.
i don’t even know what or who could cheer me up at this point. perhaps a diet [...]

the last time there were widespread layoffs at work, i didn’t sleep for roughly a month. granted, the layoffs happend at the same time my former webhost gave me a bunch of trouble.
but, i’m not sleeping tonight. my mind is reeling once again.
this shouldn’t take me by such surprise. i’ve been through it once already. [...]

Last weekend I spent the whole weekend reading Dan Zevin’s ‘The Day I Turned Uncool: Confessions of a Reluctant Grown-up.’
I loved it. I loved every last word of it. Perhaps I loved it so because I could relate all too well, perhaps because I haven’t passed all those uncool milestones yet. I haven’t started worrying [...]
