Month: August 2003

    • Leftover beef taco meat
    • Leftover grilled chicken
    • 2 slices American cheese
    • Ass in the Tub hot sauce

  • Breakfast

  • Friday Five

    So this is my first Friday Five. I feel so…conformist…

    1. How much time do you spend online each day? It’s my job. Really. That, and reading Maxim and Seventeen. 6-10 hours per day. But, technically, I’m online 24/7 since I’ve got corporate SDSL at home.

    2. What is your browser homepage set to? The one you’re reading right now.

    3. Do you use any instant messaging programs? If so, which one(s)? All of them. Again, it’s my job.

    4. Where was your first webpage located? Off my own personal Linux box back in 1994 sitting on a 14.4Kbps C/SLIP line. My first official Web site was www.newhackcity.net which has now been taken over by an army of unicorns.

    5. How long have you had your current website? Which one? Going on 9 years now for my first site.

  • Dinner

    • Grilled steak
    • Grilled chicken
    • Peas

  • Power? What power?

    It appears that major cities on the East Coast are without power. MSNBC has a live feed.

  • Buckle me up, strap me down: I feel naked unless I’m bound…

    I learned many things growing up as a young child because my parents were more or less firm believers in learning by doing. Don’t play with matches. Don’t stick your fingers in your mouth at a petting zoo. Don’t dump a box of Raisin Bran out on the bathroom floor to pick out the raisins (I didn’t get sick, but Mom has very embarrassing pictures). And, most importantly, always buckle up.

    • Side salad with ranch dressing
    • Leftover beef taco meat
    • 2 slices American cheese
    • 1 low carb tortilla

  • Sol

    The sun is out. Finally. Maybe my car will finally have a chance to dry out. Maybe the house will finally have a chance to dry out. Maybe my desk will snap back into it’s original shape.

    • Beef taco meat
    • Grated parmesan cheese
    • 1 low carb tortilla

  • Welcome to day 12 of the storm…

    We need a recall election for whoever is in charge of weather. There have been severe thunderstorms and massive downpours every day for well over a week now. Everything is moist and, even when it’s not raining, my clothes get that unwashed stuck-to-the-skin feeling just from sitting around the house. All the carpets in the house feel perpetually cold and damp underneath my feet and the edges of my particleboard office desk are starting to curl.

    We need a break…where the heck is our standard New England fare of 103 degrees and bright sun?
