In which the weather is expected to get heavy, man, heavy. Bread woke me up from a deep sleep this morning. Bread and three dogs and a cat all got in bed with me and wiggled and demanded my attention. I felt like I was surfacing from a still and silent depth into a world […]
In which I consider how I spend my time. I almost always drive in the left lane when I’m driving through Fairfield. The outside lanes are cracked and pitted and I don’t like them because they’re so bumpy, so I spend an inordinate amount of time behind people who are waiting to turn left. (The […]
In which what the fuck?! So when I checked on goblinbox before bed last night, everything looked fine. This morning my layout was all hosed and funky looking, and I — believe it or not — didn’t do it. I wasn’t even there! (It’s usually my fault, when the site’s screwy-looking, though I rarely admit […]
In which I write a short list. 1. It’s nice outside. Nice! No coat, no hat, breeze, walked-to-lunch, bugs are appearing, isn’t-this-lovely nice. (It’s about fuckin’ time.) 2. The Exploding Uterus Fairy has been by, and smacked me with her Cramps From Hell™ stick. (I hate her.) 3. I read this article today, and I […]
In which I’m in SO much trouble. I’m no longer allowed to post MP3s on this server ’cause I keep getting in trouble for it. If I understand it right, goblinbox.com is physically located on a server colocated at The Planet, which is, I think, a server farm somewhere in California. I think my buddy […]
In which I miss the BBQ. Of course. Today a bunch of friends came out for a BBQ, but it didn’t really get into full swing until past 2:30. I had to leave for band practice, but Bread made me this stunning portabello mushroom with sauteed peppers and swiss on a bun thing, to go, […]
In which goblinbox.com looks mediocre at 16 bit. At work, I have a pretty hot computer and monitor. This is because I’ve worked there for so long that the box I had originally died and was replaced (finally). At home, I have a box my dad built me, with a monitor he got me for […]
In which my day was so boring it’s practically a waste of pixels to even write about it. I took so many naps yesterday I can’t even count them. Bread was in and out between here and his mom’s place. I was awake at 6:30 or so when he called from the Dead Cock to […]
In which we all had a pretty awful day. Saturday morning my MIL went up to Cedar Rapids to spend a few days with her daughter and granddaughter while her daughter, a grade school teacher, is on spring break. Monday, her husband’s oldest son called her to say he hadn’t been able to get in […]
In which illness is the order of the day. Friday was St. Pat’s and I was excited to go out that night, so naturally I poisoned myself with some 4-day old soup and spent the afternoon puking. (I haven’t given myself food poisoning since I was a student at MIU about ten years ago and […]
