The Music Meme:  Where you find the Billboard Top 100 songs from the year you graduated form high school, bold the ones you liked, bold and underline the ones you loved, strike through the ones you hated, and ignore the rest.

The Top 100 Songs of 1988 according to Billboard (the thing with Billboard lists is that they reflect the nation in its ( Read more... )

"Time for a meme I feel. This is only natural. Be good if other people did it too, if anyone reaches that level of boredom/is an insomniac." -- The Trentster, July 2008

1) When was the last time you spoke to the 5th person on your top friends?
 I'm not really sure who my number 5 is -- will have to get back to you on this one.

Daniel and Rob do this thing where they say they're going to play video games together on the Xbox 360, and they'll make this big show of which game they're going to play. And then Daniel will play for like 5 minutes, and then he'll pass the controller off to Rob, and Rob will play for the rest of the night. And Daniel will just sit there and watch ( Read more... )

That's my Friday night. I'm looking at the HP ad to the right of this panel and seriously considering making some Gwen Stefani/Harajuku paper dolls. Daniel and Rob are playing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. If I don't make paper dolls, I might just go to bed early ( Read more... )

So apparently it's a worldwide Vomit Fest going on. I myself barfed once about a week and a half ago. Then Rob did his best imitation of Pukey Pukerton last week (you could hear him a mile away). And now the Pook is sick! Too much Easter candy, as far as I can tell, since Rob had food poisoning and I was just nauseated by post-nasal drip.  And of ( Read more... )

In honor of Melissa's birthday, I was going to compose a poem. Or at least pay Dolor to compose one for me. But that didn't work out. So instead, I will just keep it simple and say...

That last bit was a joke

So last night was Geek Bowl 2008. Some of you may recall that we, meaning Rob and I and his old team, took second place last year, and it was awesome. This year, Rob couldn't play with us because he works for the trivia company now, the fucker, and we convinced ourselves we could win without him. How wrong we were. We didn't even place in the top ( Read more... )

I hate to jinx anything, so I figured I'd post it here where only a select few can see rather than on my regular blog. We've got a potential wedding site up in Estes Park that we're totally excited about, and they're available on one of the dates we want, and we have an appointment to go up there next weekend and meet with the people for a tour. So ( Read more... )

Here is the text of an email I received from Daniel's teacher about three hours ago:

Daniel came in this morning and said that he didn't do his homework because he was watching American Idol last night. I told him that homework needs to come before American Idol and I hope that this will be supported in the future. It is not really that
