Mind our dust

November 29, 2007

I obviously just can’t stop frigging with this. I didn’t like the old template. I loved having three columns, but I didn’t like the wierd “-” character that delineated everything, and I couldn’t figure out how to get rid of it. I found this template a few days ago and have been screwing with it […]

Grey’s Anatomy: Enough.

November 28, 2007

I can see the bus coming. Two great big buses, actually. While give the writers kudos for the Big Disaster Two-Parter(tm) being actually plausible (an ambulance accident rather than a ridiculous ferry crash), I can still see these two enormous, smelly buses coming, heading for the Grey’s viewers, aiming right between the eyes. We’re in […]

Did you know our cops are now judge, jury and executioners?

November 27, 2007

Drinking and driving laws about to get tougher. Did you know that under the same bill that allows cops to impound your car at the side of the road without any trial or recourse, will now allow them to impound your car if you are under the legal alcohol limit? … countless thousands of emboldened […]

Dexter: I have no spoilers. I’m sorry.

November 26, 2007

I know, I know. Seriously, I’m sorry. You’re all landing here because I wrote a post ages ago ranting about Dexter spoilers on the web. Specifically, the post where I ranted about one spoiler that wasn’t labeled a spoiler and, in the first sentence of the article, revealed the identity of the Ice Truck Killer, […]

Tony’s Snowblowing.. a follow up.

November 24, 2007

Way back in September, I posted a rant about our useless snowblowing company from last year, and how they were trying to get our business again by blaming their utter incompetence last year on “saboteurs”. Those saboteurs. Such an easy target. Ever since then, I’ve been getting occasional hits on that post, as people investigate […]

At least I don’t have to remember my address.

November 20, 2007

It’s pretty evident that my name is on some charity contributor list that’s being re-sold. How do I know this? Because for the last two months, barely a week has gone by without me getting some charity solicitation letter. The Cancer society. The Lung association. Camp this or that. The Cystic Fibrosis foundation. The Arthritis […]

From the "people scare me" department..

November 13, 2007

You can get fake balls for your male pet after you get him fixed. The vet puts fake testicles in the nutsack after s/he removes the real ones. Your boy dog still looks like a boy dog. This way your dog won’t lose “confidence”. They’re called Neuticles. The guy who invented this for his dog […]

In a mood, in a mood…

November 12, 2007

…in a rotten, foulassed mood. I shall unleash my completely irrational, utterly irrelevant, rather vapid fury to the blogosphere. That’s what you’re there for, isn’t it? 1. Mail man, why can’t you show up on time anymore? I’ve been setting my clock to you delivering the mail between 10 and 11 for 5 months now. […]

Huh.

Looks like the blogosphere has hissy fits too.

Social Graces

November 9, 2007

Honestly, I’m not the most socially graceful person. I am aware of this. I am nervous during small talk, or in interactions where I feel exposed, like I’m being assessed. In these kinds of situations, I feel enormous pressure to keep things moving, to be witty and interesting, and this pressure results in my brain […]
