fuck it.

After trying on just about every article of clothing that both I & Jenn own, I ended up with the same shirt I wore last year, and jeans. Then I decided okay, I can’t do jeans: It’s New Years for christs sake. So, I have a little flouncy black pvc skirt and my platform boots. [...]

Hair.

If there’s a hair left on my body that doesn’t belong there, it’s not through lack of trying. My fingers are all pruney. On the upside, my legs are smooth for the first time in weeks. Happy New Years!

Because I’m all about the sex ed.

If you or anyone you know is HSV+ (er, not a typo — that’s herpes simplex virus), go to Jenn’s site and fill out the survey she’s posted. It’s for a good cause! Jenn hopes to do workshops for people who are HSV+, because one, it’s really, really common… and two, it’s really, really common [...]

Conversations…

“So-and-so offered me $100 and lunch! But I didn’t ask what I had to do to get it.” “You realize that she’s a prostitute, right?” “Yeah… so?” Hmm. Anybody want to buy a marmot? Now available in extra-gullible!

New Toys

Today, I bought a wireless router and a new mouse. Everything I need to surf porn from bed. …and play warcraft.

Hallelujah

One of my favorite songs is “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen. I also like just about any version of it. It’s just a sweet song, for varying values of sweet. So I was most pleased when one of my coworkers passed this link along to me. So many versions! Yay!

Best/Weirdest/Funniest/Chocolate-ist

I like presents. Deal. Best Present: My laptop. Ah, sweet blessed laptop. I’ve named it Jason. Weirdest Present: I don’t want to sound like an ungrateful bitch, but … one of my gifts was a pink nightshirt. With white spots. And a bow. And little ruffly edging around the collar & sleeves. I have no [...]

SEO: Stop hiring snakeoil salesmen.

I work for a company that creates content management software. So, a good deal of our customers think that SEO (search engine optimization) is very, very important. We do our part — the software is very, very search engine friendly, and many of our clients make a lot of money off their sites. (Was very, [...]

Yagh

Routers? Yeah, I hate configuring routers. I’ve finally come to the conclusion that the wireless on Jenn’s router is completely trashed — it works wired just fine, but my laptop doesn’t even begin to pick it up… although it does pick up a dozen other networks around the neighbourhood. Really, I should have guessed: Both [...]

Christmas: Good.

So, so full. There’s chocolate everywhere, and every time I look at it, I feel a little nauseous. Mmmm. Turkey. Had a lovely evening, full of turkey and vegetables and family & friends and all sorts of good things. Warcraft still has another 3 hours left before it finishes downloading, so I’m … thinking I [...]
