Now in High Def
Observations from evening number one with High Definition DirecTV service:
Some things should not be in HD. Dirty Jobs, for instance.
Frogs have pores. Who knew?
My head kind of hurts. This is like watching a moving version of your computer monitor.That is all for now, I think. I’m rather enjoying this upgrade but […]

Asylum Lock-In
On today’s exciting episode of my life, we’ll be discussing this weekend’s admittedly crazy plans. Kate and I are going to Pittsburgh come Friday to visit her parents/crash at her place/pick up her sister before we depart for Weston, WV. Why are we heading into the heart of red neckery, you ask? […]

Pet fucking peeve…
Nick: “Can I place this order online?”
Verizon: “Yes, you can.
N: “Is there any fee associated with doing this?”
V: “I’m not sure…they may have charges that we don’t?”
N: “Aren’t ‘they’ Verizon, too? You are all one company, correct?”

Pins & Needles
For awhile now I’ve been quietly dealing with a nihilistic quality in the very core of myself. Maybe I was consciously aware of its presence and maybe I wasn’t, at least not entirely. This little voice deep down inside has been there, always causing me to negate the value of things I really […]

Leopard is a go…
…I’ve installed Leopard today. It’s such a strange beast of an Apple OS. I described it to Alex as 40% OS X as we knew it, 40% Windows Vista, and 20% NeXT-ish. Basically, if you’ve seen iTunes recently, you have a general idea of what Leopard is going for. It’s really […]

Doom & gloom? Maybe my job is kinda neat…
&I know that most of you are only familiar with my job in so much as it keeps me from talking to you as much as I once did. Dear readers, I admit this is chiefly what my job does. I have been far busier than I’ve ever been in my entire adult […]
