I’ve had zero motivation to post, pretty much since October. It’s not that I don’t have tons to say, I just have been in a non-typing-funk.
Here’s a double dose of tunes, and the possiblity of a couple more non-music posts (topics to be covered: getting laid off, Vegas, house husbandry, and why it’s so freakin’ […]

so…I’m the 7th result for a search on “anal entry” on MSN.
Have a great weekend, Mister or Miss K-Y, in Portales, New Mexico!

so…while filling up my gas tank ($2.13/gallon) tonight, I saw almost every single thing they tell you NOT to do at the pump. All by one lady…
The beat-up old pick-up truck was running while she was filling the tank, while she was on her cellphone. When she was done filling the truck up, she sent […]

so…don’t get excited…there’s nothing of real substance here…just more talk about music…
I’ve been going through the process of backing up my mp3 player (14 DVDs for 57 gigs of music). I got to wondering how long it would take me to listen to it all (it’s not even half of my music collection)…
In 8450 tracks, […]

so…I got into work and quickly noticed that my internet access had been shut off. It seems that Azureus was still alive in my sytem tray, sniffing ports…which is a major no-no at work. It’s not like I was transferring files, but they like to take a “shoot first, ask questions later” approach. So…Tuesday is […]

so…Alcohol Poisoning Girl must be having a little rough patch in her otherwise fast-paced, drink-filled life: this morning’s banal lamentation came with a soundtrack! All Out Of Love, by Air Supply.
“I don’t have a man in my life to say these things to me, so I need to listen to this now.”
yeah…
…every single guy in […]

so…here’s a small conversation I had with Marc about Samson’s name:
J: so…we have a name…
M: yeah?
J: Samson Daniel
M: samson!! that’s so cool
M: named after anyone?
J: he was going to be named Samuel Atticus…but I couldn’t stop saying Samuel Adams…
