Had a friend recently introduce me to the wonderful world of webcomics.  I've never really had a desk job so I'd never explored this particular portion that the internet had to offer.  But I've found a number of comics I'd like to start sharing.  Little things that spoke to me on a variety of levels.  Both are safe for work, no worries.

All right.  So last week I posited the idea of, which president, dead or alive, would be the best drinking buddy.  Got some very interesting responses.

All right so last week I asked everyone if they would rather be free from gas, hangovers, or sleep.  By a very large majority people chose sleep as the one of the three they'd most like to be free from.  Now me, if I had to pick, I think I'd take sleep every time.  There are never enough hours for me to do all the things I want to do.  So if I ( Read more... )

No, not Brazillian like that.  Brazillian like the country.  Let the Cachaca* flow.  Well so I've done two nights of Capoeira**.  My legs are `10 or possibly 11 kinds of pissed off at me.  It's been really entertaining so far and the instructor is a really nice guy.  It's a bit rough since the class is 8:30 to 9:30 at night.  But I'm coping.  It's ( Read more... )

Seeing as how we were all quite vocal in one way or another during the election I've noticed a very real cooling of comments.  And my little section of the web here has never really drawn a tremendous amount of commentary.  But I'm hoping that this question, because of the controversial nature, will draw out more than a few strong opinions.  So, ( Read more... )

Woke up today around 8:30.  Realized as I was finding clothes, that there isn't a damn thing about retail that I miss.  Then around 2 when my 1:30 lesson ended I got to work on a few odds and ends things that needed to happen at the studio.  All that went well.  2:30 the father of the three little girls that were my 1:30 lesson stopped in to sign ( Read more... )

Well things went about as expected.  I had fun.  I'm mildly disappointed that I'm not leaving with as many ideas as I have from previous events.  But it's a start.  And I'm very encouraged at how well David and I both represented.  All in all had a good time.  But yeah.  Wow ( Read more... )

All right.  seminar was interesting.  Didn't ultimately get all that much interesting information.  Really wish there had been more substance.  But a very large part of that was because I couldn't get a good Uke*.  The single most frustrating thing at my level in the martial arts is trying to find someone that can be a good attacker that can ( Read more... )
