Well, reality hasn’t set in. I mean, I’m at work now, I have an apartment, and will buy a car in the very near future. But getting our office all switched over has taken all of my time and mental capacity. I reckon there will be a large and sad freak-out next week. Ugh. Impending… Continue reading function levee($canalName) { unset($home); break; }

Home Away From Home
So, I signed a three month lease on an apartment here in Houston today. Looks like I’ll be here for a while. Tomorrow, I look for a car to buy. Will be cheaper than a rental. I really don’t have the capacity to write more right now. I’m just overwhelmed and dealing as I can.… Continue reading Home Away From Home
Heaven’s to Betsy
I am in Austin right now, and okay. I’ve been here since Friday, back when Hurricane Katrina was on the OTHER SIDE of Florida. The plan was to spend the weekend here with Dave and Belen, then three days at our Houston office. Well, it looks like I’ll be living in Houston for a few… Continue reading Heaven’s to Betsy
Where I lay my head is home
It’s good to be back, even though back is ~500 miles away from NOLA. And even though I am sitting on My Hypo-Allergenic Couch™ at Dave and Belen’s in Austin right now, it still feels right. Still feels homey. And the journey was, well, crappy. My flight from NOLA was delayed an hour. Then my… Continue reading Where I lay my head is home
Fuckbeans.
I’m leaving soon for 5 1/2 days in Texas. I have absolutely no idea where my cellphone is. I looked in my house, my office, at 13, at Molly’s, in my bags, in the car I used yesterday/today. Fuckbeans.
Chomps on the tube.
I actually caught the tail end of this on the tv the other night, and I want to re-post it here, thought it was a cool story. It would seem that the city is pushing to develop a gaming industry here. Chomps, working for a (the) local game 3d company here, was feature working/playing in… Continue reading Chomps on the tube.
Broken Hive
I have an office meeting at Commander’s Palace today (rock), so I want to go ahead and share this incident with the world, for Googling purposes. One of my workstations at the office (Windows 2000) wouldn’t really boot yesterday. Whether in Safe Mode, Boot Logging (which it didnt. grr.), Last Known Good, etc., it would… Continue reading Broken Hive
Bike Update, Before Tomorrow.
So, bike update n shit. I got some new pimp-ass cranks. Shimano Deore XT. Hollowtech. Octalink Bottom Bracket. And what? Uh. Installed today, with assistance from the Arms of Tim™. Also, while in NYC, picked up this new jersey –> Reminded me of a poster for Maurin Quina. Same devil, different colors, different booze. Apparently,… Continue reading Bike Update, Before Tomorrow.
I Didn’t Sleep at all Last Night…
Doo doo do do do… Well, I’m back in the land of Humidity and Low Cost of Living. More of a recap later, but I’m kinda messed up now. For the past 4 or 5 nights, I haven’t been going to bed till 4 or 5 or 6 am. Been out drinking. So, going to… Continue reading I Didn’t Sleep at all Last Night…
Start Spreading the News…
Im leaving in an hour. Fuck. One hour. Time to shower, pack. I just got home. I left my office at 5:30 today. Arrived at 8:30. The prior day, I worked from 8:30am to 2:30am. Yeah, do the math. I’m a bit tired. Anyways, I’ll be up in NYC till Monday. I am going to… Continue reading Start Spreading the News…
