friday random elevenish: “running out the clock on 2019” edition
As this entry posts, I will be beginning my final day at work for the year 2019. And honestly, there hasn’t actually beeen a whole lot of “work” happening this week, or honestly, the last part of last week. I have largely put my programs in stasis at this point, knocked together all the documentation […]
featured on filkcast
Just a quick note to let the world know that one of my tunes from World’s Okayest…, “Filker At The Mundane Hootenanny”, is being featured on the most recent episode of Eric Coleman’s Filkcast Eric (of the excellent band Cheshire Moon) has spent the last few episodes of 2019 featuring tons of filk releases from […]
too much car
Since Saturday, I have put over 1300 miles on my car. My ass aches in protest.

I’ve also been feeling pretty darned terrible; something has […]
impeachment carols
So on Saturday (before, one should note, the actual Articles were introduced) my friend and I did a thing: Impeachment Carols by D.J. McGuire D.J., internet-famous political pundit, Filk Ferret, and genuinely all-around good guy, writes a lot of songs; his particular specialty is parody, but he’s got some excellent originals as well. These tunes […]
the pack narrows
Early yesterday afternoon, word came that Senator Kamala Harris has suspended her campaign for president. Given recent polling (she’d been stuck in the high single digits since around June, after her breakout “That Girl Was Me” moment) and the behind-the-scenes campaign turmoil, I’m not necessarily surprised, though I’m more than a little saddened; she’d been […]
long weekend, way too much sunday
The long weekend was, for the most part relaxing, particularly Thursday and Friday, where I mostly hung about, doing laundry, watching MST3K, and cooking tasty food. Was offline for the most part, though I did take advantage of a couple of small black friday online deals, but nothing particularly serious. Saturday, we hung out with […]
