It’s getting harder and harder these days to tell what is spam and what is not.  So my new rule is this: if you are a spammer, and you comment on my blog, have the decency to at least admit to it. I may not mark your comment as spam, thereby allowing you to hawk [...]

My body: HOLY CRAP. You have to go pee. RIGHT NOW. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. Get up, run across the building! This is an emergency! Yes, leave Vicki to handle the phones by herself, she will understand!! Me: Holy shit, ok! OK! Fine! *run run run, 1/2 way there pause to think of dry [...]

I had a dream last night about Mikey, Brit, and Michelle.  We were “tourist shopping” in Wickford Village, in Rhode Island.  But it had turned into something that looked a lot more like Sturbridge Village, in Mass.  Very kitchy and touristy.  At one point, we lost Michelle, and Mikey said, “Oh, don’t worry. You know [...]

I’ve got a great ex-coworker and friend who posted something on his LJ that I think is worthy reading for all of my friends.  http://fragbert.livejournal.com/442522.html?view=4547226#t4547226 There’s nothing non-work-safe in the entry, but he does have his journal set for adult content.

I’ve been struggling for the past few years with both of the above-titled concepts, but I can remember a time — maybe just 5-7 years ago when I wasn’t lacking in either of these.  I had a good sense of what/where/who I was, and what I needed in order to make me happy, and I [...]

Too tired to offer much in the way of an actual update, or fascinating opinions.  I’m alive. Work is hard, but satisfying. Family is ok. More, perhaps, later.

The Knoxville Metro Pulse is the local free paper in town, publishing every Thursday their fabulous brand of liberal propaganda (heh).   What they include in the pages is a comprehensive listing of Knoxville’s restaurants. And so, my fabulous friends Mikey and Brit and I have decided that we’re going to go on a months-long tasting [...]

So I had a recurring dream this morning.  The first time I had it, though, the outcome was much different, and much scarier (in dream). It starts off with me dating this guy… he’s an older guy, I think in this dream, he actually says (in a moment of drunken stupor/laughter) that he’s 56.  The [...]

Since the internet intermission currently going on at our house, I have neglected my blogging duties nearly completely. I say nearly, because I still try to keep up with other folkses writings, but obviously have not offered anything up myself of any worth in quite a while. So, as the title suggests, I’ve read quite [...]

Futzing around with the website again — trying to tame my Categories beast.  There’s an interesting piece of code that I really would like to get to work, but it’s not. I’ll have to look at it again tomorrow with a fresh eye, because right now, I just want to bang my head against things [...]
