Most of you live ’round here, so know what yesterday’s weather was like. For the rest of you, and for posterity, it was gross. Temp in the lower 40’s, with a RealFeel in the upper 20’s, according to AccuWeather.com. Varying levels rain from misting to not-quite-downpour. I left my office at Lee Circle and rode… Continue reading Bars w/o Pants

That Damnable Windows Key
On a related note on my less-than-heralded return to gaming, I rediscovered something that really puts my panties in a bunch: the left-side Windows key. You know what I’m talking about. You’re in the middle of a map, and your pinky hits it, leaving your character dead in the water until your ALT+TAB fu kicks… Continue reading That Damnable Windows Key
Orangelo Rising
Now, at any given point in my life will I be considered a great gamer, but I’m not half-bad. I have fun, and that’s all that counts. Lately (since I’ve gotten my new computer), I’ve been hopping back into gaming. I was logging a bunch of hours a while ago when beta-testing for GameFlood, but… Continue reading Orangelo Rising

You are cordially invited to join the St. Anthony Ramblers on Mardi Gras Day, the Fifth of February, 2008.

Ironically, I didn’t cry
Last night at NOLA Tattoo, my friend Roxan got to ink her 3rd victim, and I got my second tattoo: a tear on my right index finger. When I got home, I had forgotten to get some lotion/moisturizer. I was waiting for Bea to tell me that perhaps I should cry about/on it, but… Continue reading Ironically, I didn’t cry

Snakes on a Face Campaign, ’08
Prompted by Sonny’s progress and picture, I reckoned that an update on my end was needed. So, the current status of the snake on my face: What is snakes on a face? It was a contest in 2006 between me, Sonny, William (the then-roommates boyfriend), and Jeremy. The whole point was to see who could… Continue reading Snakes on a Face Campaign, ’08
Dr. McNinja and PHP/CSS
I’ve been noticing how on one of my favorite webcomics, Dr. McNinja, the page that displayed each comic was loading pretty slow. Before: <td valign=top><table border="0"> <tr><td align=center width="175"px><a href="page.php?pageNum=1&issue=10"> <img src="/graphics/1.gif" border=0> </a> </td></tr> <tr><td align=center width="175"px><a href="page.php?pageNum=2&issue=10"> <img src="/graphics/2.gif" border=0> </a> </td></tr> <tr><td align=center width="175"px><a href="page.php?pageNum=3&issue=10"> <img src="/graphics/3.gif" border=0> </a> </td></tr> <tr><td align=center… Continue reading Dr. McNinja and PHP/CSS
We coulda had a baby by now
Don’t take that title too seriously, please. Yesterday was our 9 month anniversary thingy. Please allow me to show you my romanticles in this fancy, bulleted list of yesterday’s events (in chronological order): Something ridiculous like 6am: Bea gets up to skate for 3 hours. I sleep for two and a half more hours and… Continue reading We coulda had a baby by now
Office, 2008
So, my new bookshelf came in today. Looks good, but methinks I should have gotten a wider one. Meh. Well, here’s some pics of my new bookshelf and the current state of my home office. Click on the images for flickr-y extras.
