in response to my last post, here is a snippet of an IM convo I just had with Erika:
Erika: “knowledge of chemistry still allows me to know that 8 oz. of 175-degree coffee plus 2 oz. of 45-degree soy milk does not create 10 oz. of 70-degree drink.”
is that chemistry or algebra?

so…I have this travel mug, which I got at StarFucks…I’m normally pretty against them, not so much for their potentially shading business practices, but just because a cup of coffee shouldn’t cost more that $1.50!

anyway, if the mug works well (read: doesn’t spill on me when closed), I don’t care where it comes from. The […]

Man! This really picked up the end of my day!
I don’t think this is real, and if it is I don’t know who they are, but aren’t we all able to replace the names and places for people we know…

Red Robin settles lawsuit over tattoos
Red Robin Gourmet Burgers Inc. agreed to pay $150,000 to settle a religious discrimination lawsuit brought by the EEOC on behalf of a fired employee.

I LOVE telemarketers!! LOVE them to bits!!!
I just got a call from a “student at UC-Berkeley” asking me if I would be interested in taking a survey, and wondering if I was the responsible party for my business online needs. At my job! Not at my house, at my place of employment!
This would mean […]

so…I know this is “old” news, but I haven’t been the most up-to-date on things around here, and I haven’t really been feeling quite myself as far as making fun of the world…

so…I cleaned up the basement on Saturday and dusted off the weight bench and actually worked out!
It’s been about 6 months and, damn!, I’m in a lot of pain! I’m in that can’t-put-my-shirt-on, can’t-lift-my-coffee-to-my-mouth pain.
so…does anyone want action on when I’m going to get sick?
