Like Clockwork

August 9, 2009

I took some vaca­tion days off of work to turn this week­end into a 5-day vaca­tion (Fri­day through Tues­day).  The plan was to go camp­ing at the coast.  We made our reser­va­tion months ago[1].  We made some last minute acqui­si­tions ear­lier in the week (we were lack­ing in the lantern and water jug depart­ment).  I […]

Apologies: in retrospect and in advance

June 29, 2009

First off, I have to apol­o­gize in both ret­ro­spect and advance if I have been snippy, stressed, or overly emo­tional.  I have been on some steroids recently that affect my blood pres­sure and stress lev­els, among other things.  If you take noth­ing else away from this post, remem­ber that I am not cur­rently act­ing like […]

The paradox of being sick

April 14, 2009

Maybe para­dox is not quite the right word for what I want to say and ironic, in the dic­tio­nary sense, is not either.  The Ala­nis Moris­sette def­i­n­i­tion of irony is a bit more close.  But putting the exact word­ing aside, I find the para­dox of being sick is that you have all the time in […]

Can’t eat, clowns will sleep me.

September 22, 2008

Three lit­tle pill bot­tles, lined up like soldiers.

One is used to treat anthrax.
Two cause nau­sea.
One treats nau­sea.
Three cause drowsi­ness.
Two go with food.
One goes with lots and lots of water.
All three cause drowsi­ness.
One is not to be com­bined with expo­sure to sun­light.
One is not to be com­bined with alco­hol.
Three cause dizzi­ness.
Three cause drowsiness.

Reactor

September 15, 2008

Every­body knows that songs can trig­ger emo­tional reac­tions.  Do you have any songs that trig­ger a phys­i­cal reac­tion?  I do.  I really like the song “My Blue Heaven.”  A cover of that song wasn’t the sole rea­son for pick­ing up a Smash­ing Pump­kins boxed set (the one with the lit­tle lunch­box han­dle) back in the […]

sick

January 22, 2007

I was going to post a cou­ple of pic­tures, but real­ized that there were a num­ber in my queue that have not yet been uploaded or posted.  Here are some inside snow movies: Ebenezer try­ing to get birds, and two cats try­ing to squeeze into one igloo.

The next pictures/videos are from the hill next to […]

Can't sleep. Clowns will wheeze on me.

August 2, 2006

Last night, I felt well enough to go to yoga after hav­ing skipped out on it last week due to sick­ness.  While there, I UNLEASHED A WRATH OF… hmmmm… what was it again?  FURY?  No, that wasn't it.  FEAR!  No, not that, either.  Oh yeah: PHLEGM!  Phlegm was jarred loose from places that I was […]

Red!  No — Blue!  Aaaaarrrrgggghhhhh.….

July 26, 2006

The rental peo­ple called yes­ter­day say­ing that some­one will be around to paint the house Thurs­day and Fri­day.  They also called to say that no, they would not be paint­ing, but re-roofing on Thurs­day and Fri­day.  Today (Wednes­day), peo­ple showed up to work on the roof.  This is the same rental com­pany that we contacted […]

Regurgitating an Interesting Article

December 4, 2005

I am feel­ing much less sick now.  Plus, I have enough chicken soup to drown a baby (or bap­tize a baby, depend­ing on your inten­tions.)
Why McDonald's Fries Taste So Good is an arti­cle (linked from Digg) which was used in Fast Food Nation.  It describes a lit­tle bit of the his­tory of their fries, but […]

Funded in part by the surreal. An angel, complete with reservoirs.

December 2, 2005

Today, I am home sick with a cold.  Ick.
I can’t imag­ine the fol­low­ing thing ever becom­ing a meme because the act of down­load­ing the XML and compiling/running all the command-line appli­ca­tions is a bit too time-consuming and arcane for the aver­age Joe.  Any­way, I tried a lit­tle exper­i­ment today that con­sisted of the fol­low­ing:
1. Downloading […]

Ow.

March 29, 2005

Based on the num­ber of times I have had to use the restroom last night and this morn­ing and based on the fact that I slept in the La-Z-Boy because it is down­stairs and close to the bath­room and based on a great many other things that I think you would rather not hear about, […]

Sick, Ice, Lost

January 17, 2005

First off, I have to put in my token com­plaint about the Live­Jour­nal servers being down.  While every­one else's jour­nals were up and run­ning, mine was still dead.  I guess I am on the “Mad­Cow” clus­ter of machines at LJ, so it took them an extra day to get me back up and run­ning.  I […]
