Tomorrow’s life goal: get to work on time. Okay, okay. Fine. Get to work by noon. # Definitely made it to work today before noon. Conversion from zombie hours to regular-person hours is complete. # FTW (Too soon?) RT @fightmagazine It’s all water [...]

Scout and I hopped in the car yesterday and drove on up to Illinois. My brother is back home for a few days before heading back to Iraq, so I figured it would be a good idea to come see him. Scout came along because I’m pretty sure Kecia would kill me if I didn’t [...]

Today marks the start of a momentous occasion: my return to normal-people work hours. It happened a week early, which is good and bad. On the plus side, it’s one less week of zombie hours. On the down side, I was planning on having some free days this week, so I’ll have to re-arrange some things. I [...]

The next week I worked Tuesday-Friday. As the quicker among you have deduced: this means that several weeks after that, I had [...]

After a little over a week with my new Lenovo refurb I’m loving it. # Why is it suddenly relevant to AJC stories that the vehicle involved was an SUV? They don’t mention minivans, compact cars, or hybrids. # RT @Nastinchka: Wanna hear [...]

For all of the good that civil rights crusaders have done over the years, one of the few disservices I believe they’ve rendered to our society is the vilification of the word “discriminate.” At its core, “discrimination” is not inherently evil. In fact, unbeknownst to many, nary a day goes by during which we don’t discriminate: [...]

I’m still not sure what I think about Vick’s reinstatement. I’m really, really happy that Atlanta released him. I’m not really much of a Falcons fan, but if they had let him back on the roster, there’s no way I’d ever be able to cheer for them. If I were the commissioner, he’d never play in [...]

Day o’ Scout: trips to the pet store and to the dog park. Would retrieve balls for other dog owners but not me. Ingrate. # LOST is now on Netflix Instant. Maybe now is a good time to start figuring out what this show is about? [...]

Service has been crap for a week and Thursday is the soonest comcast can get a tech out?? # Hmmm… DSL looks to be about half the price of Comcast. Slower rated speed, but has to be faster than what I’m dealing with this week. # [...]
