So Yeah, it took me almost five hours to get back home from the DC office yesterday. That sucked. “I’m Your Moon” (live) – Jonathan Coulton “Our Great Divide” (live) – Tarja Turunen “Disturbance at the Heron House” (live) – R.E.M. “Nugget Man” (live) – Paul & Storm “Miracle” – Paramore “Virginia Woolf” (live) – […]

Moved into a new office this week; while the situation, overall, is a positive one, it still totally blew my routine, which, when such things happen to me, manifest themselves physically. So yeah, I didn’t feel all that great most of the week. Still, the week’s over now, so I am planning to enjoy my […]

Yes, today is my cat’s birthday. She is 14. Please give her a thought while you rush out to get your taxes mailed off (though you’ve probably done them already). Today is going to be a quiet day, because honestly I feel like crap, thanks to allergies that aren’t actually allergies and are a virus […]

It’s been a soul-sucking week, no question, for both me and the rest of the household. Hoping it gets better starting this afternoon, what with RavenCon in town and all. I just hope I can find some time to enjoy myself, and not spend the whole time on guard to make sure my kids aren’t […]

It’s been a long week, forgive me for just going for the cheap, ironic internet meme. Here are some tunes that are generally better than the one I’m invoking: “I think I’m Paranoid” – Garbage “I Pity The Fool” – Molly Lewis “Kamera” – Wilco “Like O, Like H” – Tegan and Sara “Sad Transmission” […]

Since I’m in a mobile (but not really) sort of mood this morning, here’s ten more tunes off of my pandora “quick mix” channel: “Save Me” – Queen “In Your Eyes” – Peter Gabriel “Paper Gangsta” – Lady GaGa “Love Bites” – Def Leppard “Waking Up In Vegas” – Katy Perry “Minneapolis” – That Dog […]

Trying something a little different this morning, instead of running a random ten off of the hard drive or mp3 player, I’m recording the first ten tunes that come out of my pandora radio quick mix station. It’s one of those things I’ve been playing with since I got the new phone, and so far, […]

Today’s shuffle derives from the act of delving into old hard drives recovered from the now deceased old Pentium 4 laptop, thanks to a couple of external IDE drive enclosures I can access via USB cables, since my new desktop machine only supports SATA drives. New technology that allows me to prolong the life of […]

Things went on a little bit longer than usual at the office on Thursday; long enough to miss the narrow window of time that would have gotten me home ahead of DC rush hour. As a result, it took me almost five hours in a soaking gray rain to get home last night. It wasn’t […]

Sort of settling into a routine now; hope it’ll get a little more regular next week. No big plans for the weekend; probably just going to continue cleaning and take a couple of bike rides (did fifteen miles this morning; felt very good after spotty gym access this week). And now for the pre-school’s favorite […]
