There’s been another update to Pokemon Go this week, including the new “appraisal” feature, ideally for players to get a read on how effective/powerful their various pokemon are. It took players approximately 30 seconds to turn it into one big dick joke. I admit, I did laugh. And I needed a laugh this week. This […]

I took yesterday off, to take care of some appointments. I got one in, and lots of drama. The chiropractor experience was magical. My back and shoulders have never felt better. The man is magic. I still worry I’m going to get addicted/dependent on these adjustments; visions of Victorian ladies being treated for hysteria come […]

Had an okay weekend, I guess. Got together with friends on Friday and Saturday, which was nice. Took the kid for surprise pizza and Build-A-Bear for her birthday. She had a blast. Somewhere along the line, though, I started feeling pretty awful – it’s going around. I was totally crashed out by early Sunday afternoon. […]

Happy Friday. You know it’s going to be thaty kind of day when the first thing you do in the office is, after checking a notification that a document’s been added to your personnel file (we’re reorganizing here, and the paperwork has finally caught up with the office code change), you start going down the […]

Yesterday, I finally dropped my car off at the body shop to have the storm damage fixed. As part of the deal, my insurance company is covering a rental car while the professionals replace parts and match paint and all that stuff they’re good at on my 2016 Scion iM. I left the shop yesterday […]

My weekend. I actually got lots of useful little projects done like pruning the wardrobe, replacing the broken handle hardware on my dresser, and doing a good deep cleaning of the fish tank. The big donation bag of clothes got me thinking of downsizing in other ways, so I spent some time looking up potential […]

I had a long weekend. After the pretty great “Cheesy Sharknado Party, where a bunch of us just watched a bunch of silly movies and ate fondue party, I arranged to take Monday off (because we got home around midnight). It was the best call. The rest of the weekend also involved a lot of […]

If you’d been paying attention to my goings on this week, you probably caught a mixture of hair-tearing stress and affectionate Tim Kaine dad jokes. Work’s been interesting, if non-conclusive lately; the agency re-org is slowly proceeding, and I think I may have an actual idea of where I’m eventually going to land; I’ve always […]

I indicated briefly on Friday that I had what I thought was a migraine brewing. As I kind of expected, it swung into full-on head pain/fog/hangover without the benefit of alcohol/oh-my-god-i-feel-like-crap-for-days by the end of the workday. It really got going on the drive home, where I had to pull over and vomit half-way through […]

It’s been a week; it started with a pretty great anniversary date with good food and British “action transvestite” comedy, then swung back and forth between awesome and shitty: damaged cars and insurance claims (boo!), many cancelled meetings (yay!), great band rehearsals (rawk \m/ ) and less than great band rehearsals (meh.), my kid beating […]
