In which I bore you with my reading list. I finished Ilium after returning from vacation; now I’m elbow deep in Olympos. These books are fantastically good readin’. It’s sci-fi meets the classics meet a good story, with Zeus and robots and nanotech and LGM (little green men). It sounds impossible, but it works. Makes […]
I think I want a new Pocket PC instead of an iPod nano for my b-day. The geek in me is tempted to get a Sharp Zaurus simply because it runs a Linux shell, but the penny pincher in me thinks of all the software I’ve purchased over the years for WinCE and Pocket PC […]
In which I’m a wee bit confused. Yesterday I did boring domestic stuff. In the evening, I made dinner. Then I ate. Brett wasn’t home, so I went upstairs and got on the computer and spent nearly 45 minutes trying to pay for his contractor’s insurance online via a slow, buggy site. When I went […]
Of course I want an iPod nano because of the yummy form factor, but they’re only 4Gb (like my mini) so I probably won’t upgrade. Which is good, considering that everybody says they’re too delicate to actually use. I’ll wait for the next gen, when they’re 8Gb+ and the kinks have been worked out of […]
In which my teeth are GORGEOUS. In other news, I went to the dentist today. My teeth look fifteen years younger. My gums are rejoicing. It’s a fabulous thing. Not so fabulous was when the hygienist used the Cavitron on my upper molars, and it sounded like some soprano-voiced creature was being vivisected at about […]
In which I still love New York. I still love Manhattan. I miss it. I watch TV shows and movies I wouldn’t normally watch because they’re filmed there. I buy magazines I wouldn’t normally buy because they’re based there. I think about Manhattan while I’m in the shower. It’s like the worst crush I’ve ever […]
In which I’m rescued. Last night, Brett actually wanted to do something. We went to town and spent a few hours at The Red Rock tavern (we call it the Dead Cock because it’s such a nasty bar). Ed was having a going away party and there was nothing else to do. I had a […]
In which I buy some clothes. It’s 2:25 PM, and I’m sitting in front of the computer in my office. Brett’s asleep naked in the day bed. “Wake up! Wake up!” I call. “Let’s go to Ottumwa and eat, and go to Target and buy me some clothes.” Downtown Ottumwa, Iowa He said, “Mm hmm,” […]
In which I freak out. I will turn 37 next Thursday. I think I’m having a mid-life crisis.
Look at this and tell me: is this for real? Is this storm really shaped like that, or is this some kind of Nat’l Weather Service joke? I mean, maybe my mind’s in the gutter, but damn if that doesn’t look like a peeee-nis. (Image from here.)
