Things are not too shabby right now, and I’ll give you a quick summary in an enormous run-on sentence just because I can and because I’m stupid and so are you: I randomly met the marvelous Asian Provocateur last night and introduced her to the wonderful concotion known as the Fauxrona™ as well as send… Continue reading Life in General

… the circle is complete …
One year ago today, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, but you already know this. One year ago today, I was at our Houston office on a planned business trip. In 15 minutes, I’ll be heading to the airport to fly to Houston, to go to our office. However, instead of migrating data and setting it… Continue reading … the circle is complete …
Kerlerec and Pauger
I was going to write about Outkast’s new album, Idlewild, now that I’ve had a week to properly digest it. I’ve since decided to write on a different subject matter. Last night, a 60 year old woman was mugged, and subsequently hit by her attackers car. When I got there, a minute or two later,… Continue reading Kerlerec and Pauger
My destiny resided in Theater 16
Last night, I had the most high honor of seeing Snakes on a Plane at 12:01 am. Let me tell you, it was much fun. That’s all I can really formulate right now. Oh, and everyone started cheering when Mr. Jackson bellowed the line: “I want these motherfuckin snakes off this motherfuckin plane!” Go see… Continue reading My destiny resided in Theater 16
I’m sorry, I don’t believe we’ve met…

I’m as happy as a little girl
This past Saturday was the 2006 Red Dress Run, put on by the New Orleans Hash House Harriers. I met up with Jeremy, William, and Kung Fu Andy II™ (representing missed Andy) at Molly’s at ~11am, and we rolled over to the start point, Tucker’s (used to be Polynesian Joe’s). After a couple of hours… Continue reading I’m as happy as a little girl
Snakes, y’heard?
Last night, Lara and I braved the mall (shudder) to get me (and maybe also her) a new red dress for this year’s Red Dress Run on Saturday. Lemme tell ya, I got some funny looks in after walking out of the dressing room at Forever 21, wearing a red dress with white dots all… Continue reading Snakes, y’heard?
Such Capacitors! With the Bulging!
One of my users here at work runs a Dell Optiplex GX270. It’s a good workstation. Plenty of RAM, processing power, and disk space for a plain old workstation. Recently, it started getting all wonky (yes, that’s a technical term). It was weird. It seemed to be an Office issue – while sorting email or… Continue reading Such Capacitors! With the Bulging!
James blew up for you and me.
Metallica. Where do I even start with you? No, this has nothing to do with the Napster debacle of 2000. This was a full year before. For many, Metallica died with Cliff Burton. For others, it was the black album or Load/Reload. Look, I tell people I liked Load. I’ll admit it. They get mad… Continue reading James blew up for you and me.
auto incrementing like a dumbass
I woke up at about 4am this morning, in the middle of some fever-induced sleep-coding. I got up, turned on a desklight, and wrote the following: kill the $l++ in the for loop!the for auto increments, dumbass! See, I’d been having this problem on this stupid ongoing project. So I get up in the morning,… Continue reading auto incrementing like a dumbass
