Better than Apples

“Ounce for ounce, bite for bite… BETTER THAN APPLES.” Prunes have got it tough, man. I think you need to have some sort of advanced degree in marketing to pur a positive spin on something that looks like a bucket of demon hearts. When you read the little fine-print explanation, they mean”better” in that it’s [...]

An Awkward Thing

“Hey, man, I wanna talk to you. Why would you say that about my wife?” In a situation like this it was best to go on the offense. “Thing is, point blank, your wife looks pregnant and I feel it’s my responsibility as a bartender to not serve anyone who is. It’s not an easy [...]

Link Puma

holy shit, contageous cancer! In dogs, but still. EyeTV – TV for your mac. AIDS vaccine! Fuck yes! This idea to temporarily abate global warming… sounds like it needs to be though through a little more. AI investing Specific serotonin gene blocked to produce always-happy mice! Maurice, could you have known? Jimmy Wales talks about [...]

Lance and Arica on the Move

It didn’t help things that Meredith and I were up ‘till past three on Friday playing Monopoly. We arrive a little late, but still on time ifyouknowwhatImeanandIthinkyoudo. After a few hours of packing the McCords treat us to the final lunch in Mebane. Everyone else (Including Meredith who was such a sport helping some family [...]

I am a modern Peter Gibbons

What I’m working on now feels a lot like the y2k bug… just a lot of going through old code… looking for what is out-dated… updating it… If I had made the movie Office Space I would have had a scene with Peter smoking a cigar in his cube, feet up on the desk, completely [...]

The new employee training session for sexual harassment is this Tuesday… so I’m trying to work in all the harassment I can before I “should know better.”

Gettin’ on the Highway

It’s been four days at Rho so far and I have yet to do any real work. Oh, I’m “working,” but right now it is the long process of getting me off the on-ramp and onto the motherfuckin highway! In other news, Lance and Arica are moving away from North Carolina… possibly forever. Lance is [...]

Truism

One of life’s truisms is that the kind of person who wants to have anal sex with you in the bathroom of a filthy rock club after first meeting you is the exact – again – the exact kind of person that you should not if-you-know-what-is-good-for-you have anal sex with in the bathroom of a [...]

Link Tiger

My new job is starting Monday. We’ll see if that increases or decreaes the frequency of my blog posts. Pure fucking genius, that’s what this is. An interesting read on fossilize embryos, but out of nowhere is this night-terror-inducing quote: The images show that one fossil embryo known by the scientific name Markuelia must be [...]

More for me than you

A lot of cool stuff has happened and as a result I can’t really write about it in any interesting way. This will happen from time to time. As I don’t have a journal that is just for me, I’m left with this blog, and I’d feel kind of guilty if I didn’t at least [...]
