I don’t much read the tabloids or entertainment section, but I’m starting to think that I should more. My belief is that it will rot your brain even more than watching television, and watching TMZ on television is akin to giving yourself a lobotomy.
However, when all the major news networks cited TMZ in regards to the Tiger Woods story, I thought I might have to adjust my view on this. And now that the police have stopped their investigation, we’re stuck with TMZ to find out the truth.
You have no idea how incredibly sad this makes me feel. Woodward and More >
blank tuesday
Dec 1st
Since everyone I know has their own weekly deal going on, I feel like I’m missing out on something.
I’ve always felt bad for Tuesday, because it’s just a filler day between MondayHell and WednesdayMidWeek. So to make Tuesday’s more tolerable, I’ve come up with a little contest.
I will post a picture below, and all you have to do is provide me with a caption for it. It can be what you think the people are saying, what the title of the photo should be, or what the description would be in the magazine. Pretty much whichever comment makes me More >
musical memoir mondays
Nov 30th
Here we are again, Memoir Mondays how I’ve missed thee. I’ve been thinking for the past month on how to describe this song. This is another one that we performed live, but it turned out well enough that we ended up putting it on our CD.
As is the case in about 95% of music, this song was about a girl. Not just any girl, but the one that our lead singer was in love with, who then ditched him for another guy, so the teenage angst was in full effect here. The funny part of this is he kind of More >
inane thought that is really annoying me today
Nov 30th
There are 24 hours in a day.
There are 60 minutes in an hour.
There are 60 seconds in a minute.
Yet seconds are divided into 1/10 or 1/100.
All of a sudden our measuring standards go from base 60 to base 10.
We go from an ancient Egyptian standard to Metric.
Why all of a sudden does this really annoy me? And why did it take me 28 years to realize this?
Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go convert my sundial to digital.

So. I could write a thousand words to try to describe to you the ordeal that was our bathroom. Instead I will use a picture, because somebody once told me, “A picture is worth a thousand words, and about fifty thousand of your words because you’re stupid.†That person was a jerk.
Still, here are a bunch of before and after pictures of our old/new bathroom.
This is our old bathroom. As you can see, it is somewhat narrow and has terrifying colors. My favorite part? The light fixture which consists of two glass balls hanging from a chain stuck on hooks More >

I don’t know what’s going on today but it’s epic, let me tell you. Epic.
“When I open Word and try to open this file, it doesn’t show up. But when I look in My Documents I can see it. Why doesn’t it show up when I try to open it in Word?â€
“Because it’s an Excel file.â€
“How do I open it?â€
“Double-click it.â€
“Wow! That worked! Why won’t it open in Word?â€
“Because it’s an Excel file.â€
“Do I have to double click Excel files to open them?â€
(the narrator in my brain kicks in, which sounds like Morgan Freeman for some reason):
Now what do we More >

…I get kind of surly on the phone.
“It looks like your computer has picked up some adware that’s causing those popups; I’m just going to run a quick scan that will remove that and clear out some of your temporary files.â€
“But will I lose anything? I don’t want to lose anything!â€
“No ma’am, it just deletes the copy of every web page you’ve gone to, you shouldn’t need that anymore.â€
“But what if it’s important?â€
“It’s not important. They’re just temporary files.â€
“Define important.â€
“Some people think saving their toenail clippings is important. This is about that same level of importance.â€
I hope to not have More >
all sorts of falling behind
Nov 16th
The southeast part of Wisconsin is running out of the proper size toilet for my house.
Apparently the standard size is 12†rough-in. Since our house was built shortly after humans discovered fire, it requires a 10†rough-in. If you don’t know what that means, don’t feel bad, I didn’t either until our new toilet hit the damn wall behind it and refused to fit.
I took back the too big toilet, which they were unhappy about returning and made me feel guilty about. Jerks.
I found one, and only one, model in a store around here that would fit.
I bought it and More >

lack of production
Nov 11th
Due to a number of causes, in reverse order of impact on my ability to spew words for my lovely bloggyfriends:
3) Curling started up again; I will be sure to post about this and add pictures so you can all ridicule me.
2) This novel thing is totally kicking my ass, and I need to make more words there.
1) My bathroom now has walls, but it still doesn’t have a toilet, sink, or functional shower. This is the last time I will remodel a bathroom. I will also add some pictures of this so you can all witness the disgustitude that More >
