Subject: With that blue pill you can forget about your failures in bed.
he is the perfect mix to me of blues and folk and funk and feeling
she didnt want to print off her name- signing was a must
one more thought about best friends
what a few hours on a sunny day can do for you
i had a really tumultuous teenager-hood i was a happy and smart little kid it was surprising when so much angst welled up inside me
i swear nothing makes me happier than a peaceful space and some needles
well just as we were making preparations to get moving grant was granted that job he wanted right here in utah i guess were staying put (sorry shellie i wanted to live by you and drive to see ray and the beach on weekends real bad)
it made me happy
from the spring/summer 09 toast catalog
they make me happy
one of my resolutions for 2009 was to stop ignoring the etsy shop and to not spin my wheels all day (these two problems are very related) i am the queen of walking in circles around the house and not really getting anything accomplished i wouldnt care except for that it drives me nuts part of the problem is my insomniatic nights which leave me only half there during the day times ( which then leads to high caffeine consumption) so i decided step one is to get good nights sleeps i am trying to change my night time routine to a peaceful herbal tea quiet inspiration seeking few hours it helps if i keep our room clean and the sheets freshly washed and calming reading more- tv less- at night is a goal then hopefully my days will be a little more with it because i hate wasting time
but the commonality between each experience was- it was out of my hands i occasionally fell in love with someone who couldnt be had i occasionally had to run from someone who wouldnt let me go
it transported me back in time to simpler sunnier days and its been making really happy to stare at today
let me preface this by saying that there is no one size fits all eating plan for someone with hormonal issues for some women cysts irregular cycles lack of ovulation and too much testosterone and its effects are directly related to bad insulin regulation in their body for these women they may be able to restore better regularity with avoiding blood sugar spikes by not eating carbohydrates therefore eliminating the insulin problem that is why so many women can conceive with metformin or glucophage because these medicines work at that level
me um we didnt have disney games when i was five
i do have one faithful companion who is braving the germs penny the pug russell
feeling so inspired

"When you see this, post your favorite poem in your own journal."
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

9:19 pm - FUCKING ASUS
|
Ok, so a couple weeks ago, I buy a replacement motherboard for K. Nice board, decent price, hell, I even sprung a couple extra bucks for ASUS and some additional nice features.
Big mistake.
The board gets here, I start the usual test to make sure everything's kosher. Drop the board in, a proc, CPU fan, memory, and the power supply, just to make sure it's booting normally. The CPU and power supply fans take a couple spins each and shut down. Ooookay. Swap the proc. Nothing. Swap the memory. Nothing. Swap the power supply. Nothing. Clear the CMOS. Nothing. Swap the CMOS battery. Nothing. Try it on a cardboard box to make sure there's no grounding issues. Nothing. Great. F'n great.
I call ASUS the next day. The gal on the phone suggests I might actually prefer to send it back to NewEgg so it would be a brand new board. I'm thinking I'd like a quicker turnaround, and since ASUS is here in town, that might work better. Besides, I'm sending it to ASUS, so it'll be thoroughly tested when it gets back, right? So she opens the RMA, hands me off to tech support for a quick consult, and we run through the kid's playbook of tests, all of which I'd tried. Nothing doing, ship it in.
So I send it in. Finally, just under two weeks later, I get it back. (thanks Fedex for that awesome speedy service of taking two days to get it across town btw.) The RMA docs said it had gone through several days of testing, so I'm thinking they put it on the bench and let it cook for a couple days.
Pull it out of the box, put it on a cardboard box, CPU, fan, memory, power supply, hit it. Same result. No change.
Furious, I call my friend who used to work for ASUS. After a couple pointed questions, he gets the RMA number from me, and goes off to make a call. About 10 minutes later, an email pops into my inbox. RMA #2. A couple seconds later, he calls and we shoot the breeze for a few.
Turns out ASUS has a slightly different approach to testing and RMAs. They might not have actually tried powering the board up at all. The first level RMA they run it through a couple basic checks and if it checks out ok, they send it back to the customer. They don't actually try to reproduce the problem on the first RMA.
Let's recap. I've now paid for the board, shipping on the board, shipping the board to ASUS, I'm looking at shipping the board to ASUS a second time, its now 2 1/2 weeks later, and it'll likely be another 2 weeks turnaround. Fortunately this isn't important or I'd really be screwed.
The only business dealing I've ever had that was more retarded was the time I bought batteries from buy.com, and Fedex lost the package. Fedex ADMITTED they lost the package. Buy.com wouldn't do anything about it until 6 weeks later.
SO. FUCKING. PISSED. I will never do business with these fuckers again. Ever.

4:45 pm - This would never happen but
|
Someone posted this in response to a /. thread on how to work part time in IT:
This is how to handle the situation:
Schedule an appointment with your boss, then walk into his office(shutting the door behind you) and grab his tie. Yank it down so hard that it chokes him and his head slams into his desk and say with your other fist clenched,
"You punk motherfucker - I'm going to come in at 7am and leave at 11am and you're going to pay me my regular fucking salary as if we didn't have this little discussion, capiche?"
If he says anything other than "yes" then grab his stapler and pistol-whip him with it. Go back to work while keeping a loaded pistol in your desk so that you can point it at your boss whenever he walks by your cubicle. Leave early so that you can break into his home and hang his pets from his ceiling fan, but take one of the pets, behead it, and place its head on your boss' bed. Then write, "I see you" above his bed using his favorite pet's blood.
If the plan outlined above dosen't work, you just might have to play hardball.

A is just old enough to have the barest grasp that some things may be historic, and we're trying to take care to point out things she will want to remember when she gets older, moments of 'I was there when' kinda events. We've just elected the first non-caucasian to be president. Which, no matter how you slice it, deserves a footnote of history. But, if we're ever to get past the shit that divides us as a people/culture/whatever, it shouldn't matter. Not one fucking little bit. If we're ever really to get to the point that it doesn't matter, we have to allow ourselves to be desensitized a bit to the power of the moment. Not to avoid paying due credit to the history of the moment, but to get to the point where we can all move on as a united people.
Anyways, so we're trying to help A wrap her head around this concept, which is a toughie for most of us many times her age. Anywho... so we asked her the other night, 'when you look at Barack Obama, what do you see?' 'A nice man.'
May she grow up in a world that has forgotten racism, sexism, and other divisive mindsets as useless relics.

a) how someone can be in violations of an ethics act but not break the law? (is it a law, or is it not a law?)
b) how such an investigation can be termed "a partisan act by obama supporters" when it was an investigation by republicans about a republican?

12:47 am - Shamelessly stolen from http://tech.mit.edu/V128/N43/drinkinggame.html
|
This Thursday! A debate for the ages! Two contestants, one vice presidency! Who will earn the honor of succeeding Dick Cheney?
In the blue corner Joe “I take the train home” Biden. In the red corner Sarah “I can see Russia from my house” Palin.
Blue Team Rules
¶ For every mention of Scranton, Pennsylvania: Take a sip.
¶ When Biden begins the “I take the train home everyday story” being drinking. Don’t stop ’till he finishes.
¶ When Biden questions Palin’s inexperience: Drink something you’ve never had before
¶ When Biden makes an obvious gaffe: Spill your neighbor’s drink
¶ When Biden uses X words when Y will do: Drink X-Y seconds
¶ When Biden patronizes or self identifies with the working class: Down some brew (Bonus points if you use Miller Highlife)
¶ When Biden lambastes Washington Insiders: Make a toast to his 35 years of experience in the United States Senate
The Joe Biden checklist. If he mentions all of the following, finish your drinks: Blue Collar, Golden Parachute, Little Guy, Washington Insider, Working Class, Clean
Red Team Rules
¶ Every time Palin cites Alaska’s proximity to Russia as “foreign policy experience”: Take a shot of vodka
¶ When Palin claims she said “Thanks but no thanks” to the Bridge to Nowhere: Demand a new drink from your hosts, say “thanks but no thanks,” and then when no one’s looking, take it anyway, then claim you never wanted it.
¶ When Palin recounts putting the governor’s jet on eBay: Auction off a beer to your friends
¶ When Palin insists that governing a small town in Alaska is in fact experience: Give your friend a shot glass of beer when he/she asks for a pint and insist it’s the same thing.
¶ When Palin points out that Biden thought Obama was too inexperienced for the job: Finish your drink and say, “Oh Snap!” If you’re a democrat, follow this by crying.
¶ When Palin claims that Washington’s problems can be solved by small town know how and common sense: Drink a Labatt Blue as you read up on how to become a Canadian citizen.
¶ When Palin talks about being the most popular governor in the country: Go to a room by yourself, realize you’re the most popular person in the room, then finish your drink.
The Sarah Palin checklist. If she mentions all of the following, finish your drinks: Bush Doctrine, Snow Machine, Moose, Lipstick, Hockey Mom, Family Values

Here’s a bonus “afternoon funny” for you to laugh at and then tell all your work friends: the last time Congress swiftly passed a major, bipartisan piece of legislation was to authorize an idiot to launch the worst foreign policy decision in modern American history. So maybe things aren’t so bad hmm?
