The people across the hall from me are cooking again.

I hate it. It drives me insane. Because it ALWAYS smells so friggin’ good. I have—on several occasions—had to stop myself from knocking on the door and begging for leftovers.

No, seriously. They must make some amazing food.

Random Story: I’m a bit of a cheese fan. Okay, a huge bit of a cheese fan.

I like cheese, people.

Anyway, whenever I get some cheese out of the fridge, wrapped or not, I get a cat.

Doesn’t matter where she is in the apartment. I take the cheese out of … More

Okay, I had been having a semi-crappy Sunday. I’ve been working on a website and having trouble with it. Not serious trouble, mind you, but it’s just been kind of a pain.

So to keep my mind off of it for a moment, I went online to check email, visitor … More

On the way home, listening to the radio, that Butthole Surfers song came on. You know the one:

I don’t mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows.
I can taste you on my breath and smell you with my nose…”

Or something like that.

Does it remind anyone else of Jim Carroll’s People … More

All last night I kept reminding myself, “I have to pick up Mom at nine. I have to pick up Mom at nine.” She was getting her car serviced and needed me to pick her up.

And I’m not good at waking up early (my version of early is before … More

Well I’ve given up on the webcam. At least for the time being. The information I can track down online is spotty, and the applications I’ve found have horrible documentation.

I have systematically hosed my system repeatedly, often mucking up the application that came with the camera.

So a) the camera works, … More

Ugh. It’s a cold Winter Thursday here in Minnesota. I have a cold, I’m a bit down, and I can’t figure out how to get my wesbcam live. Plus, I’ve been working all morning on a website and it’s got my brain addled.

Plus, I have The OC to quote … More

There was an ad for CAIR on just now. And I can’t for the life of remember what the acronym stands for.

But it was an ad with a bunch of Muslim-Americans just basically saying what their background was. The gist of the ad was to tell people that Muslim-Americans are … More

Okay, so here’s the latest:

I got the webcam. Took a bit, but I think I can now talk to people over AIM. I haven’t used AIM in years. I’m amazed the account is still active.

So my next step is figuring out how to get a webcam running on my site. … More

Okay, so you know how you do something incredibly emotionally challenging, and then it turns out ten times better than you ever expected? Yeah, I’m having a good week.

Okay, I’m having a really good week.

Plus, I now have a webcam on order. A webcam. So that’ll be interesting. I’m formulating … More

Sunday night.

I still have no job tomorrow.

January 23, 2005

Okay. Deep sigh of relief. Deep sigh.

I finally got the courage up to wander out to my car. And it was there! Woo hoo! I was sorta worried I had misunderstood the parking laws and got towed.

Trying not to look like I was wandering around aimlessly, I grabbed a bag … More

Happy New Year’s Eve, kiddies.

So yesterday when I got home, I was parking and heard a cracking type sound. Like glass breaking. Under my tire.

Crap.

I walked back to see what it could have been and found some metallic something or other that was all shattered. So I’m guessing I … More

Well it’s 10:17 and I just got home. I’m in for the night.

I make it policy to never be a target for drunk drivers. Now, I realize that someone could potentially hit the side of my apartment, but there’s pretty much cars all around it as a buffer, so I’m … More
