UF vs. FSU

It’s no secret. I love football. But when my team (Gators) loses this annual grudge match, EVERYONE comes out of the woodwork to bash them via obnoxious e-mails. I never do this to them when *we* win. To anyone who has sent or is planning to send me these delightful missives, I have four words: [...]

A lot of miles on the car this weekend…

Friday afternoon, I had to run some errands across the bridge. I got WAY behind on time. It was too dark to do what I wanted to do when I made it to Tampa, so I stopped into Westshore Plaza and *finally* got my hair cut. (So the trip wasn’t totally useless, and I may [...]

Some dude over at Microsoft got canned over what the company viewed as him giving away proprietary information via his web log. YIKES! >_

Me 2, Computer People 0

I went into my office Thursday morning, and it seems that they’ve comped me on all repairs and shipping. Now, I’ve got to wait and see how long they take to get the laptop back to me.

GRRR.

I am so mad I can’t sleep, which stinks because I have to be up pretty early this morning for work. The people from Averatec — the laptop company with the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER — got me on the phone earlier tonight, and I’ve had a headache ever since. Not even a manga binge [...]

What’s more difficult to write than a negative review?

A positive review of something you really, really like without giving away spoilers. (And, man, do the next few manga/anime on my review queue have spoilers to avoid.)

Jaymi’s birthday was fun…

and by golly, she’s a great cook! Following an awesome dinner — pesto pasta and chicken Caesar salad — she got quite a few surprises and treated us to some rather spirited karaoke renditions of such classics as “Mack the Knife.” Rock. ^_^ Today, I had to do fun things like go grocery shopping. Back [...]

I’ve been a bit slack this week…

This week has been nothing short of insanely busy: A combo of the holidays starting to hit and work kicking into high gear. I’m getting ready for Jaymi’s birthday party at the moment. Amy and I went shopping last Wednesday, so I spared myself my usual last minute gift grab. No matter how much lead [...]

While the rest of the world had off because of Veteran’s Day, I had to work. Honestly, though: Even if I had the day off, I would have ended up working on something. I’m just that way. My cat just crawled into the shoe box that holds my boots. What a wicked creature she is. [...]
