Just fixing the last few templates, and then I’ll probably change it all again 
…almost finished :)
April 26th, 2005Redesigning, reconstructing…
April 24th, 2005I’m SO right in the middle of moving to a new template.
Please be patient.
Googly search fun
April 15th, 2005Every so often I amuse myself by looking at the search terms that bring people to the site. This month’s searches:
- grandmothers
- husband domestication
- michael shanks in a kilt
- myers brigg test
- shamhna
- www.flossie.kothz.org
Now, while I don’t actually have any pictures of Michael Shanks either IN or OUT OF a kilt, I truly appreciate the optimism that those 11 people held.
What would YOU do with a drunken sailor?
April 14th, 2005Coming from the world of Irish/Celtic/East Coast music, a tradition rife with sea shanties, there’s something I gotta get off my chest:
What do you do with the drunken sailor?
What do you do with the drunken sailor?
What do you do with the drunken sailor?
Early in the morning?
Chorus
Way, hay up she rises,
Way, hay, up she rises,
Way, hay, up she rises,
Early in the morning!
I tell you this. I know all the traditional verses and none of them apply. 
Go see Flossie
April 12th, 2005Sigh. Why am I up? I hate headcolds. This one showed up on Saturday. It’s juicy! Grossed out yet? I’m glad I can’t give you this cold (the photonic transmission of rhinovirii is probably Star Trek quantum mechanics fodder) but I’m not above using the word JUICY to describe it to you.
Actually, I hate forgetting to take the cold medicine before bed so it wears off at 3am. If it’s still around tomorrow, I won’t make the same mistake again!
In the meantime, GO SEE FLOSSIE! She’s on the prowl for a new flurf.
What’s a flurf? You should ask. Depending on her mood, it’s probably different than the last time someone asked her. The true meaning of flurf is lost to the ages (or is that just age).
Adjusting the WHAT?
April 10th, 2005After some careful fumbling and a quizzical look, I was told that he was just “adjusting the twiggenberries”. Or, at least that’s what I heard. On further quizzical looks, I was told it was actually “the twig and berries” or, as they call it in that circle of folks who skronks onstage at the opera, “the twig and potatoes”.
There you go. Today’s non sequitor.
What’s EverQuest?
April 10th, 2005Alistair asked:
Hate to ask a stupid question but whats Everquest?
Far from a stupid question
EverQuest is a MMORPG (massively multiplayer online roleplaying game) that I started playing the better part of a decade ago.
Essentially, you exist as a character in a rendered 3-dimensional world with a few thousand of your closest friends and set on tasks to fight orcs, dragons, giants, goblins and gnolls (humanoid dog-like critters).
It’s often referred to as EverCrack because people get addicted to it. I was genuinely surprised how addicted to EQ I became.
EverQuest II is the next version of EverQuest.
And the award for world’s worst movie goes to…
April 10th, 2005If you ever get the chance to see this movie, don’t. It’s what would happen if an early Pedro Almodóvar teamed up with John Waters to make a mainstream American movie rock musical. It ends up being RHPS-esque without the redeeming qualities of being campy; having decent music or
Tim Curry in a teddy.
Early Sunday morning television programming at its best.
Another addiction bites the dust
April 6th, 2005I canceled my EverQuest and EverQuest II subscriptions.
I uninstalled EverQuest and EverQuest II.
…a freeing, but sad, experience.
Bored.
March 29th, 2005We have 450 channels.
The only two programmes on the damned box worth more than a passing fart are Prêt-à-Porter and Porky’s Revenge. Ok, ok… so the fashion movie isn’t even in the same league as the pig movie, but I needed something for comparison.
We have 130 DVDs sitting on a shelf. They’re too far away; work would be involved.
I’m restless. I’m lazy. I’m bored. I’m indifferent.
Yes, Agador, I’m afraid of your heat.
