I returned some walkie talkies that didn't work yesterday to Sports Authority and they asked for my driver's license. They swiped the driver's license, then, and the whole thing made me wonder "why the hell do they need it?" I'm still not sure why. Perhaps I'll try refusing next time… On the way home, I […]

Question: What was your favorite cartoon as a kid? My Answer: G.I. Joe was the typical boy thing, He-Man, and the lamer Gummi Bears, Snorks, Grape Ape, etc. I can't say I have a favorite, and I am not even sure I cared for cartoons beyond the age of four or five either. You are […]

Question: Revenge: best served cold or best left in the fridge entirely? My Answer: I've got better things to do with my time than to hold a grudge or to get revenge, but sometimes thinking of what I could do entertains me for a few minutes. You are encouraged to answer the Question of […]

As of right now, I have 9235 songs, 35304 listens, 104.9 days of music, 3.8 listens/song, and my favorite song is "Up!" by Shania Twain. These statistics are courtesy of iTunes PlayStats. I've long wanted to create an entire application that analyzed people's playlists, showed them charts and graphs of their genres, which artists they […]

Fun with memory! *** malloc: vm_allocate(size=1069056) failed (error code=3) *** malloc[7732]: error: Can't allocate region PulpFiction has exited due to signal 10 (SIGBUS).

People continue to let me down. Day in, day out. I know myself pretty well, and I've got damn high standards for myself. I let myself down quite often, and I beat myself up for it. But dammit, how low do my standards for other people have to be in order to survive in this […]

So is cuddling, and those times when you make out for four hours on the couch. So, jeans and a t-shirt. Nothing shows off a woman's ass and legs better […]

I had a hot date tonight. That having been said, I mentioned to a friend at 11:20 that I'd had time to watch West Wing after the date. In other words, it didn't go so well. She was happy to have found someone who was intelligent, motivated, and funny. I was bored nearly to tears. […]

Y'know what, after having a certain someone run through his (albeit meager) paces, I can't say comment registration would be such a bad thing. Nor would comment moderation. This person, upset that his inability to comprehend simple English has been pointed out, is on a tear (in his mind). He's leaving comments using other people's […]
