goblinbox

gobbie

n., slang. Any kind of device (computer, PDA, cell phone, GameBoy, iPod, or television) that relentlessly sucks up all of your time and attention. If you're reading this, you're utilizing a goblinbox right now. You might even have a S.O. who wishes you weren't pasted to the goblinbox who's hollering, "Turn off that blasted goblinbox and come to bed this very instant!"

DST

I really like to bitch about Daylight saving time and having to adjust my clocks. A lot. DST is so stupid it boggles the mind.

I hate changing an hour twice a year. I think it’s absurd and preposterous. I usually write to my representatives and tell them to abolish DST, but they never do anything about it.

Did you know there’s a documented increase in vehicle accidents whenever we spring forward or fall back?!

Here are posts in which I bitch about resetting my clocks:

Here are informative links about my enemy, DST:

All these people hate DST too:

In 2007, we’re springing forward three weeks earlier and falling back one week later than usual. I don’t know why we’re starting earlier, but I read that we’re ending later because Halloween candy manufacturers lobbied for that extra week in the Fall. Meh.
