At Absinthe, drinking the obvious.
January 2008
Not entirely sure why Quicksilver decided to open my Applescript-based apps in Script Editor instead of running them.
Also: Arc doesn’t support Unicode. Go go gadget irrelevance. My money’s on Bus Scheme.
Oddly enough, Cloverfield had roughly the same plot as most of the Zelda games. The side quests were more pointless, though.
Unmounting disk images is hard; let’s go shopping!
Yay, nerd slapfight! Sidenote: Twitter’s “in reply to” functionality makes no sense when both parties are tweeting furiously.
INBOX ZERO BITCHES
Facebook starting to dip below the utility line for me…
Overheard at Cheeseboard Pizza: “So, like, a half pizza is like, almost a whole one.”
WHY THE HELL DIDN’T ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT THE MIGHTY BOOSH? WHAT THE HELL PEOPLE
I had forgotten how horrifyingly funny Chris Morris was. Satirists, you are underperforming.
@mattly: My current hypothesis is color-blindness, but that’s an interesting proposal…
@blaine: Not knocking the series in particular, it just plays into a cheeto-stained stereotype which can’t help the Linux desktop effort.
Seriously, Linux reviewers. Keep the anime off the freakin’ screenshots. http://tinyurl.com/2evwoc
I can’t, for the life of me, remember why the fuck I thought ordering a 1-pound burger would be OK. Oy. TO THE FRIDGE WITH YOU, MEAT-BEAST!
@therealadam: Now that’s just monkey patching.
@therealadam: Enumerable#reject-ed.
R. Lee Ermey did the voice for Sergeant Hobo on Invader Zim. Awesome.
@evanphx: Naked, surrounded by pills, in Mary-Kate Olsen’s apartment. Hell of a way to go.
My tonsils still resemble buffalo wings dipped in bleu cheese sauce. I hope you all enjoyed your lunches. Bastards. *stumbles off to nap*

I guess for this week I’ll pencil in “fever-brained vision quest. Power animal? (streptococcus pyogenes?)” into my calendar.
Streptococcal pharyngitis, may I present my good friend… SCIENCE!
Back at home with soup, waiting for Walgreen’s to put the finishing touches on my salvation.
Had almost forgotten how much fun the ER is.
Epically freaked out by the near-ululating studio audience on The View. Also, the flat-earther. Bleagh.
Not sure what’s worse — the strep or the fact that they’re playing The View at the ER. DO NOT WANT.
Ow. Ow. Ow. Strep throat. Doctor’s office not open until 9am. Ow. Ow. Oy.
Now *this* is a cold. Oy.
Going to hell and having an amazing amount of fun along the way.
Starting to get that acceleration feeling in my stomach.
Listening to !!! is only fueling this mood.

@defunkt: Go to Rudy’s Can’t Fail Cafe in Emeryville, near Pixar, for a Guinness-Espresso-Chocolate milkshake. Change yer life. And weight.
Refactor detour complete. Now, what the fuck was I doing?
Ruby Protip: a.nil? ? b : a == a || b (Save the trinary operator for something more interesting.)
@joannou: “And TextMate is like Coda without the pretty!” I hate that there’s a product with my first name.
@joannou: Le sigh.
Watching Tom Cruise’s acceptance video for the IAS Freedom Medal of Valor. Pants-wettingly terrifying. http://wwtdd.com/post.phtml?pk=3383
The new iPhone auto-location functionality places me somewhere in a field about 15 miles south of Topeka. Thanks, no. Berkeley’s fine by me.
Why yes, I have been wishing for better Ruby refactoring tools lately. What’s that? There aren’t any worth a damn? Well, poop. Go go grep.
MacPorts, you’re fucking terrible. Every third time I use you is heavyweight fail.
Wondering what the deal is with Python’s __magic__ functions. Why is len(blah) better than blah.len()?

SWEET MOTHER OF GOD WHAT THE HELL http://tinyurl.com/2h8bxt HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN WHY OH GOD NO
Well, the combination of a late nap and way too much Thai food presents me with the question: get things done, or watch more archived Ze?
Who the hell keeps giving Uwe Boll money? Why would you do that?
Wow. Tuk Tuk Thai doesn’t fuck around when you ask them to make it spicy. My capsaicin face. Let me show you it.
