The Lugubrious Lumberjack
Herein lies the lament of the lumberjack. Before witnessing his woeful wailings, discern his dismal downfall: Skip a bit to about 3:45 for the tale of the lumberjack, or watch the lovely story about the pet parrot first (a very touching story about a man and his Norwegian Blue). youtube::gfIVMchKd_U:: I’ll give you a few moments to digest. … … … … All set? Lovely. ...[Read More]
Mouse
A few weeks ago I submitted a support ticket to my company’s IT department regarding my mouse. It was a standard optical mouse, and for the most part worked fine, except for the scroll wheel, which refused to scroll. I use the scroll wheel often, so this was a problem. I requested a replacement mouse, and was provided with one shortly thereafter. However, it seems to me that my fortunes ...[Read More]
Frustration
I’ve had all I can stand, and I can’t stands no more! How much can a man take before he finally accepts the sweet, warm embrace of madness? What is a man’s breaking point? Where is the line drawn? How many straws until the last one? How many weights must be thrust upon a man’s shoulders before he is heavy enough to break a camel’s back? What is the airspeed velo...[Read More]
Super Poopy Duper!
Around 2 PM today I took Donnie out for a walk so that he could do his business. To the right of our apartment door there is a nice grassy area that goes the entire length of the complex. I typically take him around that area instead of through gravel or on pavement. I noticed that he kept wanting to go towards the parking lot but there really is no grass in that area except for what is in front o...[Read More]
Dear Internet Hypocrites….
Yesterday certain mother fuckers lit a fire under me over Twitter and now I get to properly express my true feelings to you – and not be restricted to 140 characters. To Zut_Radio, where do you get off pointing the finger at others and thinking that you are so high and mighty? First off, you have the nerve to insult my intelligence yet you can’t even properly compose a sentence? Then a...[Read More]
Saturday Shenanigans
I mentioned in the blogs yesterday that Saturday was pretty eventful – in both good and bad ways. Chris and I woke up a little bit before 10 and started off our day being bums. While he was out taking Donnie for a walk I made a phone call to make an appointment to get my hair cut. I know this might not sound exciting but I haven’t had it cut, or even trimmed, since November 2007. I was...[Read More]
Donnie vs. Sliding Glass Door
Our dog Donnie finally came here with us earlier this week on Tuesday. The transition from him being solely outside to the apartment has been very smooth, and expensive. Right around the time we got him last year we purchased a squeaky toy that looks just like a squirrel. Ty, the beanie baby company, makes them and has about 9 different ones to choose from – not all squirrels though. The ori...[Read More]
Year 1 Episode 9 Recap
Hello everybody, Sorry this blog is coming so late in the day but today has been rather interesting and I will be making a separate blog about that. Last night was our ninth episode and all I can say is wow. 9 episodes. We started by showing off our new webcam we purchased this past week. We no longer have to bring in lamps from different rooms but the big downside is that for some reason it looks...[Read More]
Mario Kart Wii
If anyone has ever played any iteration of the Mario Kart series, then you know that the CPU controlled competitors start getting extremely cheap near the end of races. Mario Kart Wii is no different than previous releases in the series. It introduces motorbikes as vehicles, with the 50cc races being confined to karts, 100cc confined to motorbikes, and 150cc offering a choice. While I experience...[Read More]
Introducing our new “Inquiries Presented More Often Than Not” page!
Oftentimes, people will have inquiries that are more common than not. These inquiries, more often than not, will be presented to a person of supposed authority on the subject at hand, with the assumption that they will be able to provide an answer to the inquiry. We have received one such inquiry. Sort of. To be proactive, an “Inquiries Presented More Often Than Not” page (or IPMOTN, ...[Read More]
Donnie the Dog
We brought our dog Donnie over to the apartment last night. We paid our pet deposit, picked up a lot of crap for the apartment, and brought him home. He has to sleep in an enclosure, because otherwise he’d piss and crap all over the apartment (bye bye, $450), because he is a crap factory. He isn’t particularly happy about that part quite yet, but he’ll get used to it. It̵...[Read More]
