Wednesday had no rain and the usual work stuff. I went over to Steve’s for the usual Wednesday Rock Band, and after we’d eaten dinner and played a few songs, I got a call from Zach. He, John T, and Nathan were over at Nathan’s house. Playing Rock Band. They wondered if I wanted to [...]

Tuesday, the sky was mostly filled with dark clouds, and it rained off and on for most of the afternoon and evening. This is actually a good thing. There was a lot of water on the main streets while I was driving to trivia, which is also not that surprising. Trivia: It was a little [...]

Whenever cats are eating, they’re totally focused on whatever they’re eating. MLK Day was fairly relaxing, even though it was raining off and on through the day. I went to the pistol range to get familiar with my Taurus .45, since I just recently got the case of plinking ammo for it. The first mag [...]

Sunday, not a whole lot happened. Got groceries, listened to Fuzzball meow, spent time doing random things on the Web, and stuff like that. And it’s MLK Day on Monday, and we get that day off even though we’re employed by a private company and not the government or an educational institution. That’s good, I [...]

This image pretty much summed up the football game on Saturday. The Cardinals were outclassed in just about every way, and it was just terrible to watch. Oh well. At least I can watch the rest of the football playoffs with little or no involvement in how everything works out. What else. . . nobody [...]

Whoever wrote this sign may not have been entirely serious. Or something. Hm. Not a whole lot to report, actually. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with my furlough week, which is theoretically happening the first week in March. Maybe another Vegas trip for a few days? This time without Brian? That’d [...]

Thursday had a whole bunch of stuff going on. Database problems, some miscommunication involving an old piece of code, and Moira throwing up. While I was trying to get out the door (about 5 minutes late), Moira barfed. By the time I’d cleaned that up, I was too late to get on the regular bus. [...]

Don’t leave psychoactive chemicals where the cats can get at them. It’s just not a good scene, man. Also, a large and relatively well-known star has shrunk about 15% in the last 17 years and may be in the process of exploding. That’s kind of cool. Nothing that interesting happened at work on Wednesday. But [...]

“Fuzzball theory” is a serious physics concept, not something some joker made up. Fuzzball was not impressed by this, though. Trivia: We had almost everyone, and we won, probably because we didn’t divide up into 2 teams.  Apparently, the Jeep that Zach bought has 5 or 6 mechanical problems of varying severity, and he’s planning [...]

Basketball on Monday. The game was OK; the Suns won in a game that was much closer than it should’ve been. But it was an entertaining game. It’s a lot better to watch a basketball game from a regular seat than it is from a suite. The energy level’s a lot higher, and you might [...]
