August 2008
The new Buffalo Wild Wings had a four hour wait for food, so we’re at a bbq place instead. Another time, perhaps.
I count 20 empty cans of diet coke on my desk (well, five are Coke Zero, whatever), not counting the one I’m currently drinking from. Tasty.
July 2008
I really don’t understand why I find drawing stuff with JavaScript and canvas to be so fascinating. There are better tools — it’s just fun.
I just realized that I’ve had Buffalo Wild Wings in four different states. Soon to be five! Woo! Also, news! This just in, I’m a giant dork.
Panic at the Disco and Dashboard Confessional are headlining the first ever Rock Band Live Tour? That makes me sad. Won’t be attending that.
Fascination OTD: The person ahead of me on my way back from lunch had a license plate that said 066 FFF. I could totally picture that color.
It absolutely kills me that I like this song featuring Kanye West, but damn this is such a great beat. /cranks the radio
Paradox: I am utterly fascinated by cooking utensils, gadgets, recipe books, etc. — but generally have a fear of actually cooking anything.
Yay! Road trip planned for next weekend! Driving up to Denver and back. So excited - looking forward to being on the road for several hours.
I find myself marginally sad that people didn’t reply whatsoever to my comments about lube yesterday - perhaps people feared the link? Alas.
In other news, my department’s staffing has reduced roughly 40% in the last month. I don’t fear for my job, I fear for my sanity & workload.
I totally forgot, that lube’s ad has the line “Because until you try it, you just don’t know how fast you can go.” I’m sold.
I would so totally buy this lube: http://bit.ly/BestLubeEver

Seriously itching to take a long road trip. It’s unfortunate how prohibitive gas prices have made such a thing. Someday, just not that soon.
I an hitting every damn red on my way home. Argh!
Why am I still awake? Going to bed.
I think this is one of my fav creations so far - it’s a simple stage, with a weird solution. http://tinyurl.com/57z7hk
fantasticcontraption.com is eating my brain. It’s most wonderful.

Best QOTD: I don’t think any Christian demonstration should contain the phrase, “I’ve got a big pickle here”.
Just had a long, late lunch with my mom. Chili’s is good stuff.
Hearing Elmo bust out in the Sesame Street theme, over a baby monitor — in Spanish — was very disorienting. There he goes again.
Just now leaving work. Crazy day. Everything had to break while my boss is in Italy on vacation for two weeks. :D
Any chance that anyone out there listening to this knows anything about reliable cheap VPS?
I feel sad because I’ve not just been playing around with writing Java (not JS) for the last two hours, I’ve been having fun while doing it.
I love that there’s a guy who works here named “Rich Banker”. Hearing his name called out over the intercom always makes me chuckle.
Now, I’m updating WordPress to version 2.6 on… like 10 sites. I didn’t realize how many WP installs I had going out there.
There is a VERY good chance I’m going to be taking my nephew to http://bit.ly/mboxcom - it looks to be a ton of fun! Exciting times ahead :)
I have discovered the surprising amount of joy and relief that comes with TrueCrypt and portable apps. I’m a geek, and that is totally okay.
I feel like I should follow that last tweet up by saying I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.
I’ve been cutting my hair down to 1/8” for over a year now, but I still do a double-take whenever I see my reflection in a mirror - annoying
I have posted more tweets than I have blog posts on my main blog - had that blog for six years now. Makes me feel kinda sad for some reason.
ROCK BAND 2 FULL SETLIST http://tinyurl.com/6lsqp8 I AM SO FREAKIN’ EXCITED CAN YOU TELL?!?
In case it isn’t clear, I’m a raving fanboy when it comes to Rock Band, and this new setlist is nearly bringing tears to my eyes. So good…
http://tinyurl.com/6xptl7 is surprisingly hypnotic and enjoyable. Thanks for posting to your LJ, @endotoxin!
Raiding to Gruul - am the main tank! Exciting!

Quite an amusing thing to see
My gout’s been in check for months now, without medication, but today it’s decided that it doesn’t want me walking around.
Sad that @madmup won’t answer my phone calls anymore :-(
I just found a copy of my very first blog post ever written (first seven, actually), dating back to mid-2001. Just… wow. Weird to read.

Odd thing to hear someone broadcast in an office: “I’m having my tubes tied today!” They said it very loudly with pride, too. Just… weird.
Seeing Buffalo wing sauce at the grocery store makes me happy. Mmm.
