Dear LJ: WTF? How hard can it be to lock down these russian addbots? Give me some admin privileges and I could probably take care of a good chunk of them all by myself. Why? Because they keep adding me. I wouldn't even have to go looking for them.

More interesting updates later, maybe.

(Seriousy, LJ. What the hell's going on?)

WHEREAS there are good days, and bad days; and

WHEREAS yesterday was one of the bad days, to the extent that the phrase "Yesterday can die in heavy traffic" would not be entirely inappropriate; and

WHEREAS today is a brand new day (sun shining, birds singing, donuts baking, etc);

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Damian, proclaim that today, 04/21/09, is going ( Read more... )

So I get songs stuck in my head. A lot of us do, happens all the time. It's a little maddening, but in a funny way. But I bet that I'm the first person to manage to do it with the song "Feelings" as sung by Beaker on The Muppet Show.Seriously, it's the whole song. I just caught myself singing "MEEE-meeee....mee mee MEE mee MEEE meeeeeee...." under ( Read more... )

Time to decriminalize marijuana.

I don't usually do political topics in here, except for rants, because A) it's a locked journal, and I'm not especially impressed with people who only have discussions with people that agree with them (i.e. friendslists), and B) posting controversial topics in an unlocked post runs the risks of inviting trolls and ( Read more... )

Dear manager-type person: I appreciate you trying to take the time to teach me a more complex understanding of my job, but you can't reasonably expect me to pay attention to the nuances of accounting and recordkeeping when Zulu is going by right outside your second-floor window. I mean, it's literally in my line of sight, behind the computer ( Read more... )

The list of reasons that I don't want to go to work tonight is epic. And I mean that almost literally; I'm tempted to put it into verse form and recite it at people in coffeehouses. I'd need a beret, but it'd be worth it to share my pain ( Read more... )

Wow. Yesterday really sucked. Today isn't working out much better. Tomorrow's not looking good either.

Therefore, in the spirit of desperate and massive overcompensation, I'm listening to Debbie Gibson right now, and watching Cyndi Lauper* videos. (Goonies, if you were wondering**. It's still awesome. Shuddup ( Read more... )
