Realistic

Last night I dreamed that I was still living in the trailer, and there were black scorpions and red and yellow poisonous frogs inside it. Then we moved to this house, and after a year or so someone broke in and stole all of my good computer monitors, replacing them with crappy ones I’d had [...]

Couldn’t do it this time

The only thing I remember from last night’s dreaming is Vicki bringing over chocolate wedding cake in a ziploc bag.
Friday night I worked late and then got all my PA gear ready for the company picnic. Saturday we went to said picnic and I provided music & microphones. It was fun, but very long and [...]

Football & Possibly Poker at My House Tonight

Most of you know how hilarious it is that I’m hosting a football shindig. It was suggested by my dear cousin, whose woman is out with friends this evening.
If you know where I live, you’re invited. If you don’t know where I live, but think you should, let me know and I’ll give you directions.

Oops! PLEASE RESPOND! (This means YOU)

I managed to crash my phone/pda/solitaire-client. Even though it’s extremely easy to do, I never once made a backup of all my contacts and phone numbers. SO:
If you are reading this and I should have your phone number, please send an e-mail to “phone at gentlenews dot com” with your name and phone number. Or, [...]

My nightmares are your chutes and ladders

I have scary dreams, just like most people. But most of my scary dreams really don’t seem scary when I look back at them. They’re just scary while they happen, and I don’t know why. Last night I had one of the scariest dreams I’ve had in a long time. I’ll try to recall it [...]

Today wasn’t really this boring, but just humor me

I would have slept in longer this morning if Bonnie hadn’t left the Grace Fountain (you probably refer to yours as “bathroom faucet”) on when she left for work. I got up to turn it off and then realized I needed to be up.
I did a bunch of work stuff then actually went to work. [...]

That lizard was an asshole

We have lots of lizards on our back porch. They’re kind of cute. I mean, I’d never pick one up or let it bite my ear and be an earring or anything. But they’re neat to watch.
There were two of them on the brick wall stalking bugs a minute ago. One of them crept up [...]

they also rotate their logs and compress them for further statistical tracking

I stayed up too late and indulged in too many consumables non-conducive to effecient, restful sleep. Bonnie tried to wake me up before she left, but I was too ornery. It took a particularly disturbing cat fight to finally get me up at about 8:50. I had some coffee and a brief conversation with a [...]

If they died doing it I doubt their corpse would come back to post about it

Bonnie got me up at 8:15 this morning. I like getting up at a decent hour, and I hope I can start getting up even earlier. Maybe not revjim-early.
The dentist’s office called B this morning to remind her of her appointment we had just been discussing about 7 hours earlier. We can’t really afford another [...]

The correct instrument for the task

Yesterday I spent a lot of time rapping with Matt about a potentially kickass shared venture. That’s all on that for now. You don’t need/want to hear about it yet.
I slept in far too late this morning. I crawled out of bed at about 10AM, feeling very groggy and nasty. The cats had been making [...]
