[ [ [ Countdown to 3hirty Posts in April: TWO! ] ] ]
A DVD is backed up over the network. The data is transferred to Diode, the alway-folding Debian system that hums quietly all day.
Work went by fast, but it was busy enough to be considered a stressfest. I’m glad to be back at the [...]

[ [ [ Countdown to 3hirty Posts in April: THREE! ] ] ]
April has come and gone.
I’m hoping that May is more productive in my realm of creativity. I would like to do more writing that doesn’t involve spending more time on what you’re reading here than I should. Then again, I offered up the [...]

The weekend came and went way too fast as usual. I surprisingly feel asleep real early on Saturday and didn’t wake up ’til Sunday. Sunday flew by, and Monday is mostly spent.
The work week begins. The first day is over. Four more to go.
This week will be interesting in the middle. On Wednesday, Thrice will [...]

I had the idea that my boss had canceled weekly meeting I have with him and one of our vendors every Thursday at nine in the morning. He had actually canceled the meeting for next week, because he was going to be in London.
I didn’t realize this, until I went to work at my normal [...]

Today, I woke up this morning and it felt like Saturday. It also felt like it was about 11 in the morning, and I was telling myself that I had to meet my mother in a few hours.
Then I realized that it was Friday, and that it was about a quarter ’til 11. I had [...]

I’m looking forward to the new Iron Man movie coming out in less than a month. Here’s some art that was discovered at work. Brilliant I say.
I’m keeping this one short and sweet, because it’s my early bedtime. I’m pulling the 9 to 5 tomorrow. I don’t have much to update on, except Mare made [...]

Similar to what I did in February, I am challenging myself to do the same for the month of April. Will this be a bimonthly challenge? I don’t know but by the looks of it, quite possibly.
I have another post that I will be writing tonight, and this will be the April kick-off post.
What’s going [...]

Not too much is going on lately. Time just keeps ticking away.
My copy of X-Force #1 with the variant cover came in. I won it off eBay, and it made a journey all the way from Canada. I think I’ve gotten my variant cover fix for the time being, since I’ve managed to score this [...]

In May, citizens across the country will benefit from the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008. Uncle Sam and friends put this together to avoid a possible recession.
People who qualify will receive a $600 bonus check from the government to do whatever they want with it. I see myself paying bills with it, and many others [...]

I had to get up wicked early this morning, and I mean this by own standards. I normally work the dream shift of 12pm-8pm, but I had a meeting scheduled at 9am. I was five minutes early to work, and not to my surprise, the meeting didn’t occur. I’m sure it will happen next Thursday. [...]

This title of this post is irrelevant to what you’re about to read. I had it saved as a draft but never got around to writing it. We’re probably gonna hit up the Chinese buffet this weekend, and we will be attending Pluckers this upcoming Tuesday, so maybe I can feel inspired to write the [...]

Thank Goodness Tomorrow’s Friday.
Oh, what a week. Work managed to consume me. For a while, I enjoyed that I could conquer the challenges that I encountered at work. This week has been overwhelming, and I have felt drained these past couple days.
Yesterday, I was so drained that I didn’t even feel like doing much of [...]

Thank Goodness Tomorrow’s Friday.
I’m looking forward to going to Stubb’s after work to see one of my all-time favorite bands NOFX. The word through the grapevine is that they’re playing The Decline in its entirety. It’s 18+ minutes of one hell of an awesome song. I hope this rumor’s true, and that they play it [...]
