So tired…

… so very tired.  This flu is overstaying it’s welcome.

Fucking flu

The flu decided to come back and hit me hard again today, and I have to get to bed real soon.  So there won’t be any funny postiness tonight.

Achtung!

I just thought like saying that.  That’s German for “Attention!”. And “Rauchen verboten” means “Smoking forbidden”. So, like, if you’re German, don’t fucking smoke when you read this blog. I don’t care.  Smoke em if you got em. But no pie. Remember that episode of The Flintstones where Fred dressed up like a king and […]

Song of the Day – “Tunnel of Love” by Dire Straits

So I just read my new comic… for the first time actually just reading it for fun, and not proofreading and looking for things to fix and things I need to change… and HOLY CRAP do I ever like it!  Wow, it’s like someone drew exactly what I wanted to see! So goes the statement […]

Ruetaxes

Up here in Canada, taxes are due on April 30.  I have never had to pay a significant amount, because my paycheques usually have slightly more than needed deducted from them.  Last year I got about $70 back, which is about what I usually get. This year I will be filing them late.  I can […]

Sexdroids in Space

Last year I worked my self literally to exhaustion.  I had to take a medical leave of absence from work and I had to get my heart checked out.  Luckily, it was just exhaustion and I’m a pretty healthy feller. In any case, I got rewarded for all the very hard work I do, and […]

Marco Polo flu over DRM

So I have the fucking flu.  It’s ruined my day, and might possibly screw up my plans for my long weekend.  I booked Monday off so I could get some personal stuff done, but so far I haven’t even done a proper vegetation day.  Usually on Saturday I do laundry, play video games and drink […]

I’m sick

And tired.  Goodnight.

Earth Day

I guess it’s Earth Day today.  Or was that yesterday?  Meh.  This whole week is merging into one long mess of too much work.  And I even had a day off on Monday.  Bleh. I love how the environmental message in the corporate media is “You can make a difference” when the biggest polluters and […]

Ingrateful Ungrates

Grate, just grate.  Nay – crate.  Here’s a poem that will probably not make sense to anyone but me. As fast as I can fill them up The hill takes on a steep incline And when at last I see the top Down rolls this boulder fiend of mine And years ago did I reverse […]

Song of the Day – “High Tide or Low Tide” by Bob Marley & The Wailers

I’ve had this song in my head all day.  And not because it’s 4/20 today, appropriate as that is.  You may not know this, but Bob Marley was known to partake of the marijuana cigarettes now and again. Yes, it’s true.  And here in 2010 I am displeased to report that consumption and sale of […]

Inane Pawn Classy

I tend not to watch T.V.  And thus, I tend not to watch Saturday Night Live.  But I found this on Reddit this morning and it’s fucking hilarious. Now, I’m no fan of Insane Clown Posse.  I am not a Juggalo.  I don’t know any Juggalos, and I’m not so sure we even have them […]

Song of the Day – “She’s Electric” by Oasis.

Alright then, lets get some things out of the way first.  Yes, this song makes me think about female androids. She’s electric, ya know. Now that we’ve settled that, there’s another issue that demands our attention. You may find this hard to believe but… Oasis are NOT The Beatles. I think this fact may only […]

Song of the Day – “Mr. Tambourine Man” by William Shatner

Okay… FUCK Lemmy.  He’s a fucking bitch-ass POSER!  YEAH! Now this is what Rock N’ Roll is all about.  Shatner is the man. And he took us all back to school to learn how to rock good with his 1968 album “The Transformed Man”.  It is an odyssey on all that is Rock Awesomeness.  It’s […]

Song of the Day – “Sweet Revenge” by MotÁ¶rhead

“Hello Bitches!” Every song should start with those words!  FUCK YEAH!!! And what a MEAN song today’s Song of the Day is.  Who among us has honestly never thought of inflicting revenge upon someone?  Okay, maybe just the androids.  I hope there are androids out there… female androids who want to find me so they […]

Song of the Day – “Spaceman” by Biff Naked

Okay, this song isn’t one of my favorites.  I do kind of like it… from a distance.  I think I like the theme more than the music… if I twist that theme around a tad in my own way.  More on that later. Heh heh… Moron. This is today’s “Song of the Day” because I’m […]

The thin line between an honest day’s work and exploitation

Grumble.  Look at me complain!  I do it well, so I will continue.  I chose the job I have, and I can leave it whenever I want, I suppose.  But I’ll still complain that there’s too much to do that I wouldn’t have to do if the people around me weren’t brain-dead.  Okay, that’s an […]

I can’t draw

How awesome is my hosting company? FUCKING EPIC AWESOME!!!! I went to the support page, described my problem and in UNDER TEN MINUTES they had it fixed.  Sweeeeet. Okay, on with the funny story. My mother has a paper route.  It is actually the same paper route that I had when I was a kid.  […]

wtf… no images?

Well, I had a funny story to tell that required uploading a pic.  I can’t upload pics, it seems.  Hmmmm… off to contact Support I go.

April 12 – “Don’t Use Your Turn Signal” day!

Everybody celebrate!  Why spend ALL that time using your turn signal when you can just skip it! Sometimes I think everyone around me is drinking bleach to get stupider on purpose.  Actually, that’s almost an accurate statement. I’m cranky, tired and sore, so I’m going to get horizontal and attempt to lose consciousness. Wish me […]

Another fine day wasted

Well, I did lots of stuff yesterday, so today was declared to be Vegetation Day.  I accomplished not much more than sitting on my ass playing video games and reading.  To be specific, I played another long round of Civilization 2 while I had my text-to-speech program read articles on Wikipedia about geological epochs. You […]

Out with the old…

Well, I finally got around to checking out my new laserjet printer today.  And I didn’t know this… but “LaserJet” is a trademark owned by Hewlett Packard.  Meh. Well xerox my kleenex! So far I’ve printed only a test page from Ubuntu and a test page from Windows XP, but they look good.  Now, if […]

Song of the Day – “Fall of Seraphs” by Mayhem

Link to the song, before I forget to actually talk about it again. You can always count on Mayhem to get the party jumping!  Yeah! Like KC and the Sunshine Band before them, they specialize in filling dance floors with disco dancers!  Yeah! Actually, they’re slightly darker and edgier than KC and his Krew.  Yeah. […]

Song of the Day – “Mexican Radio” by Wall of Voodoo

Let’s try to write a Song of the Day post and forget that my head feels like it’s going to burst open!  Yay! Today the weather changed drastically here.  It went from early Spring pleasant to fucking South Pole blizzard in about an hour.  And my head feels bad. :( But never mind that.  Here […]

In Praise of Chef Boyardee

Yes, my slop is being nuked in the microwave as we speak!  IT was either that or Wendy’s.  Not healthy, but flavourful.  I’m getting plenty of “exercise” at work lately.  So I guess I can claim that I’m burning off the fat pretty fast. So on to things that aren’t high-sodium, high-fat, low-nutrient meals.  Well […]

Amazing how 3 days off instead of 2 can make you feel better

Well, it made ME feel better.  Who agreed this 5 day on, 2 day off thing?  Should be 4 days on, 3 days off.  And no increase in hours during the week.  There.  I’ve spoken. And now, random paragraphs from random articles on Wikipedia. YAY! Since the Middle Ages, the seat of the Archbishop of […]

Hurtin’ for Geek Cred

As I have bitched about below, I had a printer die on me recently.  The new one is on the way, but since I had to shell out a good $400 for it, my credit card was put damn near its limit. My ISP wasn’t able to bill the card, so I had to write […]

Noreaster

I care not for Christmas, nor Easter. Ha!

First impressions of Lubuntu

Well, out of boredom and a need to express my geekdom in as many ways as I can, I’ve installed “Lubuntu” on my netbook. Lubuntu, for those not in the know, is the variant of Ubuntu that uses LXDE as its desktop environment.  I use LXDE over Ubuntu or Xubuntu on most of my computers.  […]

Giggity

While I was enjoying my day off today, I decided to kill some of my precious time on YouTube.  I was checking out some Pet Shop Boys videos (I SWEAR I AM NOT GAY!!!) and I happened upon something I immediately liked.  Now before I continue blabbering, I’ll just state that this instant fondness is […]

Bring back Windows 3.1!

So, my opinion of Ed Bott is that he’s a shill and an Áœber Fanboy for Microsoft.  Still, this is fucking hilarious. And it has me thinking of Windows 3.1. A while ago I watched this video of someone running Windows 3.1 on a Nokia phone. Pretty neat trick.  I have a very old monochrome […]
