Even without the events of 40 years ago, I think man would still be a creature that fears the Dark. He doesn’t face that fear. He averts his eyes from it and acts as if he never had any memories of his history. But, 40 years can be both a brief time and yet a long time.

Man’s fear had withered, and even time tries to wither the desire to know the ( Read more... )

Hehe, what a good time! I'm not much of a party person, nor am I the kind of person to stand out in the cold for any reason beyond skiing, so I went to Marcel's for mirth and merriment with a few good friends. I had a cold IPA, one of Marcel's creations, in my hand within minutes of entering. A good start. Then Marcel wanted us to play some gay ( Read more... )

I would like it to be a matter of public record that I am every girl's best friend and, in my honor, Frederick's of Hollywood has named a line of panties after me. Behold!

I'm totally at a loss. Christmas wasn't ruined like I predicted. Brandon made no reference to any of our "family" and didn't really have anything else he wanted to fight about either. Maybe it was the "King Bong" t-shirt I got him. I think he liked that one the most out of everything he got. I had a mighty yuletime haul as well. Lots of nice ( Read more... )

No, your eyes do not deceive you. I am posting this on the 23rd and it isn't backdated. How? I travelled back in time. Continuity is that important to me. We engineers can do all kinds of crazy shit that we never tell you normals about. Time travel is one of them ( Read more... )

It appears I have an unexpected block of free time now, since I can't find Greg to tell me which devices he needs tested, so I'll be mildly productive and do a short update. I'm not even supposed to be here. I was supposed to be on vacation two days ago, but the world will end if I'm not here and I'm paying back my debt to Dave, so here I am. No, I ( Read more... )

So it's Saturday, which means I'm going to get around to updating, but it's just not the same. I'm not sitting at my desk in my underwear. I'm not even in my apartment. No, actually I'm at work. Lab work, you know, the kind I'm not supposed to be doing today. It's a shame; it's kinda nice out. 45ºF is nice...I've been in MA too long. It's for ( Read more... )

If looking a lot like Christmas means being up to your armpits in snow, that is. Now that it's all said and done, it really is beautiful, but Friday was a total nightmare. Thursday afternoon, our administrator Denise came to find my project group because our new VP was supposed to be meeting with us, but he was done with us already and ran off to ( Read more... )

I changed my mind. Katie, you better post on your blog what happened today or I'm going to spoil the surprise!
EDIT: Holy crap!! Calm down guys. Go over to Katie's blog and see what all the fuss is about.

"Demolition Man" is probably one of my favorite no-thinking-allowed movies of all time. Really! Basically, it boils down to the fact that once I leave work, nobody is paying me to think, so I tend to do less of it. The title of this post is a line Sly says when he's become fed up with the "utopia" he woke up in. I think when I was returned to ( Read more... )
