The hazards of a too-comfortable bed.

Tuesday, June 28th, 2005

This was the plan: I went to bed last night right at 11pm, exhausted after Day 35 of Katy's birthday celebration. I set my alarm for 7am, allowing eight hours for sleep, and affording me the opportunity to get to the office a little early to catch up on some ...

As part of Operation Get Someone To Want To Live With Me, I spent yesterday evening drenched in sweat, shampooing the holy living fuck out of my two sofas. After a year and a half of sweaty asses and cats, they needed it — wow, did they need it. They hadn't ...

Nope, definitely no strippers.

Every weekend, I tell myself, "this is the weekend I unwind and do as little as possible." Every weekend, I seem to be terribly wrong. Jeff called me on Saturday afternoon, said he was about an hour away from my place on his way to his friend Jarrod's (sic) bachelor party ...

Friday remains cat-day.

Craigslist is full of weirdos. In case you were wondering. I posted an ad there about a week ago advertising the availabilty of the room that Austin vacated. Pretty straightforward copy, I feel; I'm looking for a specific type (quiet and cat-abiding), so I'm not going to waste time with the ...

After a nice evening wishing Jon Miles a good journey to Pakistan, I hereby restore my personal ban on Armadillo Grill. Not only is their website incredibly shitty, but they're the worst food value I've ever seen. I spent $17 on dinner for myself tonight — a burrito, two soft tacos, ...

Oh my GOD!

This is what I've been missing. I want ECW back so fucking bad.

Urgent cat business!

JUST IN: An unconfirmed coworker confirmed that I'd simply adore Stuff On My Cat, and she was correct. I'm going to scrounge around for stuff to put on Hootie. If you have ideas, bring 'em over. Hootie won't mind.

Cats on Friday: it’s what unites humanity.

Ummmm, ok. So I was looking through the referrer logs on this very website, because it's always good to know who's talking about you and who's linking to you. It's a paranoid's dream. Anypoop, I see I'm linked from what appears to be a messageboard, and I cruise over there to ...

Puns are still the lowest form of humor.

It's strict personal policy around here not to blog about work, since that got me reprimanded one time and probably contributed to my dismissal at the end of that nightmare of a tenure at that particular major undisclosed consulting firm. But they had no sense of humor. I don't know why ...
