You can’t take the sky from me

Monday, August 4th, 2008

I actually have been posting, but instead of random self-absorbed crap on here it’s been stuff about zombies and George Gale & Co, which is probably much more interesting. That, or self absorbed and obscure.
However, here’s a quick today-only special: Firefly the complete series is on Amazon’s Goldbox for $17.99: I think I paid $30 [...]


I have no idea what this means

Friday, August 1st, 2008

Cleaning up, I found a notepad from what I assume is the CIRRIE ICF conference from last year. There are three lines:
ICF-CY form (Lollar?)
<3
“terminological”
(the first line makes sense; I think the CY is the children’s version, and I recognize the name of Don Lollar, but the rest…)


Because I had too much free time as it was

Friday, July 4th, 2008

I know what you’re thinking:

Dan, you post too much!

I know, right? Well, because my activity on this site is so fast and furious, I thought I’d spread it out more. I’m now writing on two other sites. I never claimed to have good judgment…
Gaming Shenanigans is a new site being run by my future-brother-in-law-in-law Dave [...]


Sadomasochistic snacking

Monday, June 16th, 2008

The Saturday before Memorial Day, while Elizabeth worked, I drove to the farmer’s market on Bidwell. I haven’t been there since, as I’ve been busy for one reason or another, but I’ll probably go back again this week. I’ll bike, most likely, because going to a farmer’s market isn’t quite ‘pretentious faux socially conscious’ enough [...]


Goodbye, iPhoto

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

I’ve been struggling with how to handle my laptop. I want all my music on it, but I’d also like to upgrade to Leopard and use Boot Camp to play the Sims games I got at Circuit City last week during their sale. I decided on Sunday to get an external USB hard drive to [...]


Victory is mine!

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Tiny, you gave me one hell of a run for my money. I was scared that you were actually going to be able to pull off seven posts yesterday, leaving me to find eight today. The sad part is, I probably could have.
This has been a ton of fun, and has forced me to think [...]


Headphones and release dates

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Yesterday, while doing some yardwork I managed to take the hedge trimmers to my headphones cord. This allowed me to become reacquainted with the crappy ipod buds at the gym. I realized that they were a slightly different design from the ones I have left over from the other two ipods we’ve bought over the [...]


A singular experience

Friday, May 30th, 2008

I didn’t want to have to make this post. It’s the sort of thing that your close friends know, but that you really don’t feel like telling the internet. But this is a Blog War, and it was such an interesting phenomenon that my hand has been forced.
I saw the Sex and the City movie [...]


This is not going to go well

Friday, May 30th, 2008

The bastard managed to pull it off. Granted, one post was about why my blog sucks, but he churned out five good posts last night. Prick.
So, that means I have until tonight to think of six distinct things to say. If nothing else, this is a great exercise in writing and inspiration for me.


Shuffle me timbers

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

So maybe you heard, yesterday I bought an iPod Shuffle. From now on I’ll be using ‘ipod’ over ‘iPod’ because the librarian in me says ‘use the authority file’ but the cynical part of me says ‘the capital P looks really lame.’ Elizabeth’s ipod, which I stole — er, have been sharing — a while [...]
