In which there’s lolcats.
I’ve been giggling at icanhascheezburger in between calls for the past hour or so; it’s the only thing keeping me sane at work this evening.

In which I snivel, bitch, and moan.
I am so waterlogged today that I can barely stand being in my own body.
I gained upwards of 15 lbs. this month (guess who totally wasn’t watching her sodium intake in the past month?) and I literally cannot wait for it to go away. I’m grossly bloated and [...]

In which there are links.
A new Twitter-like site was launched recently. It’s called, for no apparent reason, Plurk. It’s basically Twitter with a cuter GUI, and doesn’t, as far as I can tell, do anything new. I signed up for an account (because I’m a whore and have to try all the new junk on [...]

In which all my base are belong to these sites.
I totally love the Internet, yea verily! Here’s where I’ve been spending my time lately:

Facebook
Ravelry
LibraryThing
last.fm
Meebo

I never fell for the social networking mystique of Friendster or MySpace (prolly because they’re butt ugly), but Facebook freakin’ pwns me. And Ravelry – a knitting site – even though it’s [...]

Here are my results:

The site’s ultimate aim appears to be to sell stuff, but it was still an amusing waste of time!

In which it’s not just an old John Cougar song, it’s totally a sincere goddamn declaration of devotion.
I have fallen in love with the math geek who does this comic:

His name is Randall. His degree’s in physics and he did robot stuff at NASA for awhile. I’ve read his strips off and on… all kinds [...]

In which I introduce you to the LOTD¹.
I was reading through trouble tickets at work today, and found one that was virtually incomprehensible to me. (Yay! Learning curve!) The resolution of the ticket, was, and I quote:
‘gem install money’
Uh, WTF?
So a-googling I goed. Went. (Whatever.) Turns out that ‘money’ is a ‘gem’² for Ruby, [...]

In which I complain about my DH, mourn the loss of another dog, and comment on work.
