Print iconSame old, same old

Saturday, December 31st, 2005

After years of torture and abuse, my computer is now officially “quite fucked up”. It barely stays on for a few minutes in the freak chance that it does come on. Time to dump it and start afresh I think.

Print iconHumourous interlude

Thursday, December 29th, 2005

Clearly, the geniuses behind this piece of facial recognition software aren’t all that geniusey. The deal is you submit a picture, and it figures out which celebrity it most closely resembles.
So […]

Print iconLacking companionship

Tuesday, December 27th, 2005

It was all going so well; my life I mean. It’s strange how the most trivial of events can open up the door to emotions and broken dreams you’ve kept so well hidden.

Print iconMs. Stillaman’s cake tips

Sunday, December 25th, 2005

One of my cousin’s birthdays coincides with Christmas, but that is not central to this story. I had a piece of a most delectable cheesecake on the occasion, but that isn’t technically what this post is about either.

Print iconSeason’s Greetings

Sunday, December 25th, 2005

From Clear Channel Radio:
“To all the rap fans out there, Merry Christmas, to all the rappers a Happy Kwanzaa, and to all the rap label-owners, Happy Hanukkah.”

Print iconA movie review that isn’t

Saturday, December 24th, 2005

I saw Munich earlier today[1]. It was quite awesome—moving, intense and all that. Given the attention span of the average person here though, I’d say it was pretty long, but I guess that the gratuitous violence and gorgeous women in graphic procreative acts […]

Print iconBaby lust

Friday, December 23rd, 2005

It’s that time of year, and I’ve been getting a ton of (obviously last minute) Christmas shopping done. For the few past years that I’ve been around here, I’ve sort of gotten away without having to do this with the very corny “I’m […]

Print iconGargantuan egos

Friday, December 23rd, 2005

The following describes events in my life over the past few days. It attempts to quell the rumbling in the audience—generally tired by all my filler nonsense—wondering why I seem so preoccupied and distant.

Print iconOn a programming note

Tuesday, December 20th, 2005

While I’m licking my wounds and nursing myself, here is some breaking site news I thought you might be interested in.
For one, note the tiny change of URL. Currently, the […]

Print iconOn all these changes

Tuesday, December 20th, 2005

I kept telling myself I wouldn’t do this, but here it is: A partly-geeky, no-real-news filler meta-post.
I am clearly not qualified to comment on things of this nature, but that hasn’t […]

Print iconThe ever-widening gap

Saturday, December 17th, 2005

Keeping with the sort of back-to-basics drive initiated a few days ago, this post purports to revert to our favourite topic in these here parts—the divide between men and women. Oh joy! In particular, we’re going to be concentrating on a few things […]

Print iconKilling trees for nothing

Saturday, December 17th, 2005

Every week, I get a letter from my cellphone service provider—T-Mobile—to upgrade my service (for free) from its current 600 or so “whenever” minutes per month to a whopping THOUSAND. Every time, I trash the envelope half-way through opening it.

Print iconOn unscientific tests

Thursday, December 15th, 2005

I am really glad I came here to study. Just the pleasure of running into and interacting with all sorts of varied folk makes it all worthwhile, and so colourful! Just recently, the following came up during the course of a conversation (and […]

Print iconImminent changes

Thursday, December 15th, 2005

Stuff for you to chew on while I wade through rough drafts of 3 or so unfinished pieces.
I told you I was going to go backward (to the basics) while the […]

Print iconBiochemistry, or just frustration

Tuesday, December 13th, 2005

Being more-than-slightly embarrassed, I’d been toying with numerous ways of framing the following sentence, but finally settled on just blurting it out. Maybe it’s just me, but have you noticed the extremely strong connection between your libido and appetite (or conversely, degree of […]
