Ramblings of a mental patient

Show on march 29th at the troc. Anybody else going to be there too? Its been about 5 years since I last saw them I think.

My experiments in being antisocial have worked. Much less irritated now that I go out of my way to avoid the news/big media. Not being bombarded by constant OMG OMG has done a wonder for my attitude.

The weekend was fun. Brewery tour on saturday afternoon. Much beer was consumed.
Saturday night was Ulana’s. Its always nice to see who shows up. Its never the people who say they’re going to.

Kat broke her shoe while we were there so I went and got the car at the end of the night. Well, sunday morning she informs me she lost her purse. Fortunately there wasn’t a ton of stuff in it. Later, it turned out that by ‘lost’ she meant ‘its behind the coffee maker’, not left at the bar.

I did something similar when I was living in west chester. I came home blacked out. I had no idea where my wallet was. After looking for it most of the day and canceling credit cards I found it in the center console of my jeep. I have no idea…

I’m listening to a preview of the up coming Type O album. I look forward to seeing them again at the troc. Its been entirely too long.

Anyone planning on going to see VNV Nation & And One at the troc on 4/13/07? Its a friday, so waking up for work isn’t an issue for me.

My ipod has been acting funny lately. Now and then it just fails to work and displays the little folder with the exclamation point. I was thinking that I was seeing a disk failure in progress. But more and more I think its just a loose drive connection. So, tonight I’ll probably take it apart and either fix it or break it permanently. This whole hard drive + mountain biking thing isn’t working out so hot. I think I’ll just have to resign myself to getting a flash based nano with less capacity but no moving parts.

Blah.

Last night I had a dream I could fly. I was in a high rise and flew up the stair well, through the halls and up onto the roof. It really freaked out a number of people.

I got into an argument with someone on the roof and flew away. Except at that point evidently the ability to fly had worn off so I plummeted to my death. About half way down when I realized there was no ‘pull up’ and I probably wasn’t going to miss the cement, I started cracking up at how funny the whole situation was. Then blackness. Die laughing indeed.

I woke up well rested.

I just spent the day getting our apps to behave themselves with kerberos. Single sign on just became a reality for a bunch of our applications.

So its that time of year again. Anyone know where I can get a pink mop? Or maybe some festive vacuum cleaner bags? Oh, and a sleeping bag good for cold weather. I anticipate I’ll be allowed back inside some time after june.

Of course there’s always the alternate plan. Get another migraine and spend the night in delirious agony.

Or, I could actually do something nice. But then I think the universe would explode. Then again a nice valentines day gift of chocolate, flowers and lube isn’t all bad….

God I hate holidays. I’d much rather just buy my wife gifts because she rocks rather than because I’m supposed to feel obligated to.

I think I need to break a few habits. I’ve realized that a few of the rss feeds I read are getting on my nerves. Originally I was doing the whole rss thing to keep up on whats ‘new’.

Lately, it seems that:
1. There’s significant overlap.
2. Its mostly sensationalistic bullshit.
3. Its a source of annoyance, not enlightenment.

I think I’m going to go back to my ludite ways of not knowing what the hell is going on. I’d rather hear from friends that I know than read about some crap that isn’t likely to affect me in any meaningful way, yet is written in the most sensationalistic zomg way possible.

I guess I’m just slow. The masses are dumb and you’d think I’d expect that any ‘community’ based web site is going to sink to the level of its lowest common denominator. Most people are the type of people I don’t want to know in the first place so I certainly can’t let myself worry about their non-thoughts or their beliefs/adjendas.

Does anyone know of an objective source for events? Something without a ‘comments’ section. I’m so burned out on the whole zomg linux vs windows vs apple, or java vs .net vs php vs lisp that I honestly dont care any more.

Nobody reports the facts anymore. Everyone gets up on a soap box and interprets, pontificates and in short wastes my time. Journalism is truly dead.

I want these.

Thank you, , for pointing out the new and creative ways for me to injure myself.

I bet I could work up a great deal of momentum with these things at the park. Hell, I could probably pass the deer, clear the fences and leap the parked cars before I ran out of runway and dug in like Wile E. Coyote….

We’re now scared of a lite brite.

The fact that they’re wasting money on a trial for these guys should be what the real scandal is about. Booga booga! Be scared! Lite Brite is coming to get ur internets!!!
