Seen within the span of five minutes watching CNN this morning:
- a segment interviewing a college student about how the recession is affecting high school and college students in their job searches (summary: restaurant and retail sectors have been hardest hit, so jobs there aren’t as available, and young people are having to compete with [...]

I spend a lot of time at my computer. A lot of time. Too much time, really.
And I like a pretty screen to look at. I’ve tweaked Vista so that all desktop icons are hidden. I keep about a dozen instances of Chrome running at any given time, but only one window up at a [...]

Found this post via Dooce, and I haven’t even been able to get through the entire thing yet because I keep having to wipe away the tears of laughter. I’m so hanging onto this post for when I need to laugh.
Read it, then come back and tell me about the funny looks you got from [...]
Reading Any eBook on a Palm

I think it will come as absolutely no surprise to anyone who knows me – I love to read. I read incessantly. The first book I remember reading is Wind In The Willows; I was four years old. In school I would get in trouble constantly for reading a book under my desk while the [...]

I have a high level of dissatisfaction with my life right now. This is in combination with a high level of apathy to the environment around me. Which basically means I hate the way I’m living, but can’t really be bothered to change it.
Mostly this translates into hours and hours of television watching.
move along, move along…

Not really anything to see here. I pretty much spent the day doing not much of anything, and now I’m trying to whittle down the backlog on my DVR and consume too many Tootsie Roll midgees leftover from Halloween.
I added West Wing to my list of shows to automatically record (reruns, obviously), and who the [...]
History in the made

Not an eloquent post at all. But tonight, history was made, and is still being made.
At 11pm Eastern, all the major networks, plus AP and Comedy Central, called the election for Obama.
President-Elect Barack Hussein Obama.
At 11:25pm Eastern, John McCain gave the classiest speech we’ve ever seen him give. Too bad for him it was a [...]

Tonight, I fell asleep sometime in the 7:00 hour, just dozed off in my standard pose – stretched out on beloved green loveseat, fingers on laptop keyboard. I woke up at some point during the 8:00 hour (halfway through Big Bang Theory, which my TV had changed itself to; since it was trying to record [...]

While watching Senator Obama’s speech being broadcast on CNN, I caught one of their stupid little factoids they like to run across the bottom of the screen. For example, if McCain gets elected, he’ll be the second graduate of the United States Naval Academy to serve as president, the first being Jimmy Carter. I’m sure [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here, and I apologize to all three of you who read this blog. I’ve been struggling with some things, working on improving some things, and just plain trying to tread water in some things. The last few weeks have had some of the brightest moments I’ve experienced in [...]
