If you experienced any temporal weirdness this afternoon, sorry about that. I seem to have created a rift in the space-time continuum. I had just finished watching Buffy (yeah, another hard day for the unemployed bum) and I switched over to BBC1 to see what the latest war news was. Instead I found myself staring…

Everybody’s doin’ the Which Friend Are You? quiz, right? Well, let me just tell you how psychotically WRONG it was. It said I was RACHEL. Seriously. I was expecting Ross, since I’m kind of a nerd, but definitely one of the Gellers at any rate. Why Rachel? I’m not high-maintenance! I’m not self-centered! I’m not…

Are you a U.K. computer nerd? If you are, dig out your September issue of LINUXformat magazine and turn to page 15. Who is that handsome man pictured at LinuxExpo2001? Why yes, it’s my very own Snookums! There he is skipping work and kissing up to the SuSE man. He’s becoming quite the celebrity, isn’t…

International incident a-brewing… Remember that post where I called out ‘Colin Zaremba’ for being a racist asshole and announced my resolution to become Canadian? Apparently Google indexed Colin’s quote and now I turn up as the number one result for various “arabs and u.k.” searches. I know this because an Arab gentleman took the time…

New Poll. Yes, I’m obsessing.

Oh God. It’s 9:30 Monday morning on my first full weekday of being unemployed… and I’m already bored out of my mind. At least MBTV‘s got new Buffy and Dawson’s Creek recaps.

A few more quick links about the football player story: He claims he didn’t do it, but he accepted the punishment because “life’s too short to spend time fighting.” Yeah, riiiiight. He also claims that her accusation might have been racially motivated. “I was a young, black freshman four years ago, accused of a horrible…

I’m up early (like, 8:00 a.m.). It was damn hot in London last night. Some kind of freak October heat wave. And did I mention the bug bites? Somewhere between Dublin and London Snookums and I were apparently attacked by a swarm of giant mutated mosquitoes or something. We’ve both got itchy red bites on…

My Dad called me out yesterday for “slacking off on my blogging”. Seriously. So anyway, I’m happy to report that Notre Dame won yesterday. And West Virginia apparently played without the rape guy. Which is good, but I feel bad for them that they lost. Like, maybe they’ll feel like they would’ve won if he’d…

Hey, Martin! I just visited your site from home and got this lovely message: “Hi. I see you are using Netscape Navigator 4.x. It’s a bit pants. How about upgrading to something that works?” Which is a lovely sentiment and all… except I’m not using Netscape. There are more than two flavors in the world,…
