So, Tuesday afternoon, I get a call from foggy89 at work because Ptyia (the smaller of my two fat kitties) is throwing up and generally acting sluggish and ill. This isn't necessarily unusual for her, and there wasn't really anything I could do about it from work, or at all, really, so I didn't think much of it ( Read more... )

So, this past weekend brought lots of rain and tons of wind, and the past few days have played havoc with the power at my house.

Why is the favorite word of geeks everywhere defenestration?

foggy89 was kind enough to buy me the book 8 of the Dresden Files on Monday, and I finished it last night. In the last few chapters, Jim manages to use this word. In a sarcastic qip, no less. At least it wasn't a pun, I suppose. (does anybody know any puns using defenestration ( Read more... )

I have been really annoyed with myself lately. It's been easy to get depressed, and hard not to be. Maybe it's just that it's winter, or that my hormones are still out of whack... Anyway, I pretty much feel like shit most of the time lately. One of the things that sucks most about it, though, is that things really aren't that bad. That either makes ( Read more... )
