These are actual thoughts that went through my head today in the video cell office.  Enjoy.

8:40) Fourth day back at work and I'm officially tired of work.

9:53) I left my new issue of EGM at home.  Bollocks.

11:17) Braaaaaains.

11:24) Why can't people use indoor voices when they're indoors?  Shut up out there!

12:10) Why don't I own Rushmore on DVD? I ( Read more... )

I think this will be an old-fashioned "what I've been doing" post, as opposed to the normal "my life has sucked since I was 14" or the "omg! video gamez....I has dem!" posts.

I did my best to enjoy Leap Year.  But first, I had to renew my drivers license.  I haven't been to the DMV since I got my license 10 years ago, as the last time I had to ( Read more... )

I've been talking a lot lately about things in my life coming full circle, or things from my past suddenly popping up in front of me.  At first, it was kind of cool.  Now, it's getting weird.  On the way to the DMV to get my license renewed, I passed by my elementary school, good ol' Pleasant Hill.  That wasn't strange in and of itself, but I never ( Read more... )

A Leap Year is determined if the 4-digit year can be divided by 4 UNLESS

The year can be divided by 100, then it is not a Leap year, UNLESS

The year can be divided by 400, then it is a Leap Year, UNLESS

The year can be divided by 4000, then it is not a Leap year, UNLESS

The year is 200 or 600 years after a year that is divisible by 900, then it is a ( Read more... )

"Oh, hush up.  Son, I don't want to reminisce about the past; it's a sure sign of old age.  Babies and young children live in the present, the 'now'.  Mature adults tend to live in the future.  Only the senile live in the past...and that was the sign that made me realize that I had lived long enough, when I found I was spending more and more time ( Read more... )

Coworker: "I just talked to a woman with a thick accent.  She must have been from another country.  I could only make out every third word."

Me: "Well, that's why they call them 'third word countries.'"

I am a genius.

Yeah, so it's already almost March, but here comes my Year in Review.  Like anyone but me is interested.

At the end of 2006, I dubbed 2007 "The Year of the Geek", and it truly was in more ways than one.  Besides the huge, HUGE amount of geek movie releases like Transformers, Fantastic Four:Rise of the Silver Surfer, TMNT, Spider-Man 3, and so on, ( Read more... )

Note to self:

If you happen to come across your old journals while unpacking...you know, the ones that chronicle your life from first grade to age 20, especially your first loves...DO NOT READ THEM.

ESPECIALLY if you happen to unpack them on Singles Awareness Day.

1) I really should get on that year in review ( Read more... )

I've been in a big reading mood lately.  It's only January 24, and I've already torn through "A Princess of Mars", "A Wrinkle in Time", "East of the Sun, West of the Moon", which is the fourth book in John Ringo's excellent Council Wars series(the first three I read last year), and I'm almost done with Heinlein's "Time Enough for Love".  After that ( Read more... )
