and now in an uncharacteristic move

  And because it cannot — Always be about me. [Well yes it can but it does not have to be.] And also because I need to re-tilt the karmic scales o’ justice after that stunt with the poetry contest — Eng Tech is in a blog face off. This is really a David and […]

my side of the bed

  I love my bed. When I bought it I was buying something big enough to hold me, one small cat, two large dogs, and a stack of manuscripts and books. The dogs had their own beds but Loke was scared of wind and whenever there were wind storms — there are a lot of […]

tagging frenzy

Jennifer went and tagged me. I am barely familiar with the tag scenario. When Thinking Girl did that to me I was wandering lost and confused looking for email till I tramped to her site to say “hey I cannot find your email what tag” and realized it was an onsite thing. That is like […]

playing with slide shows

  Anita posted one of these. She did a much better job than I did, I just wanted to see how it worked and threw some graphics from the site up. They make an odd kind of sense combined. There are a couple I would yank out — okay I did yank them out. It […]

snap is a device of the devil

Snap. I hate it. You know what Snap is right? That little box that pops up over links you are trying to click on WordPress sites? Wow is that thing perverse. The first time I saw Snap, I was on Pooks’ blog and it popped up and I thought, Oh, cute, a little picture. [Pooks […]

If you visit Woeful, be sure and read her his post Debbie Gibson about the pervo guy who makes librarians help him hunt up naked celebrity photos on the library computer. Who […]

fear and loathing with itunes

So this is totally frustrating. I bought a season pass to Grey’s Anatomy Season Three through iTunes. I figured out — and this is not intuitive — how to download the season up through the date I bought it. I did that. Though there was a whole lot of shuffling going on to make room […]

blame it on aj

  It started with — The internet blackout of 2006. My internet connection crashed — and stayed crashed — for a damn week. AJ’s hard drive melted. Kitty’s PC died and could not be revived by man or N.A.S.A. space engineers. Half the workshop was hurled offline to stumble around in the dark of real […]

how not to write a personal ad

My unusually cruel and diabolical ex-boyfriend had a birthday yesterday. That is an unfortunate surprise item on the calendar. [The calendar is electronic it does not know these things really should be quietly shelved. It just sees “repeat annually” and sticks it in there as a fun surprise. Damn inanimate calendar.] He was one of […]

when men are not men

  This is hilarious to me. Someone has come up with an algorithm to determine whether you are male or female based on word patterns in writing. This is especially funny because the guy who posted this originally [or at least the guy who posted it where I saw it] tested a bunch of guys […]
