You need these.

Smell This, NYE

Someone at work yesterday asked me to come smell a SCSI card and tell him whether I thought it was burnt out.
Christmas in Beaumont was fun. Last night we played Karaoke Revolution 3 at R & V’s. Fun times. Beginning at 6PM today, I will kick into PartyPreparationMode non-stop until Friday night. There will be [...]

7 Sins: More details, as promised.

By now most of you know the theme of the upcoming NYE party at my house. If you’re one of those who has lived under a rock (or maybe you’ve just now come out of hiding after many days finishing Knights of the Old Republic II and being disappointed with its conclusion), read the dirt [...]

First of many reminders: New Year’s Eve

You WILL be at my house. You WILL have a good time. You WILL sing. You PROBABLY will dance. You ARE LIKELY TO enjoy our lovely hookah/makeout lounge. You MAY POSSIBLY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY to witness the Brown Gravy Band live, in their first appearance since the Nappy Grardi Has Extravaganza 2004. You COULD [...]

Back to the drawing board

I’m sure most people who care already know, so I won’t go into details at the moment (especially since I’m late for training), but due to some bullshit my main page and a few others have been bumped back to out-of-the-box WP for now. I’ll get to work on a redesign soon, and fix that [...]

New Job: Day One

Not bad. Nothing noteworthy happened. Bossdude bought me lunch at Steak & Shake. I filled out some forms, read a bunch of stuff, looked at some other things.
I still feel kinda trapped in my cube because I don’t have an access badge yet, so I’m afraid of going anywhere and getting locked out. Hopefully that [...]

Have one for Dimebag tonight

This should be old news to you by now.
Last night B read a news story to me stating very ambiguously that Dimebag Darrell had been shot. Didn’t say whether he was dead or not. So I jumped up and said “Go to zakkwylde.com, please.”

So there it is. The next words in my head were, “I [...]

Cut loose

Today, I was escorted out of my office by my manager with a box full of frozen lunches, coffee mugs, and granola bars.
Last week I accepted a position at a new company, with the agreement that I would start in mid-January so as to stick around and help hire/train new people at the current job. [...]

IMPORTANT: NYE Party! Sordid details forthcoming

There is going to be an enormous New Year’s Eve party at my house. I’ll post the details of the affair later, but for now, just know that if you don’t already have plans, you do now. And if you do have plans, you’ll probably want to consider modifying them once you find out how [...]

Eat file cabinet!

Last night Justin and I tried out Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. Holy shit was it fun. Not the best DM game ever, but a hell of a lot of excitement for someone not that great at FPSs. I strongly suggest you check it out if you can.
In related news, I have [what I believe is] an [...]
