when i find out who's responsible for Queen's back catalog not being available on iTunes, there'll be hell to pay. pure, burning damnation.

i've had Don't Stop Me Now stuck in my head all morning and it's driving me nuts.

Im a shooting star leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity

seriously, how can you not love that? a goddamn...

my connection is still boned (i'm posting this from work). a cable guy will be coming next goddamn wednesday, so now i get to spend the weekend with no phone and no internet.

if anyone needs me, i'll be sitting in the corner trying to fashion crude tools out of sharpened rocks. maybe if i'm lucky i'll make a fire. ooooh fancy.

today at work an odd rule of sci fi was discovered: alien men are repulsed by earth women, but alien women are all about the earth cock.

dave, ken and i wracked our nerdy brains for exceptions to this rule...

worf and troi? nope. betazoid.

worf and jadzia dax? technically no... the symbiote shared her consciousness, so she wasn't fully human.

data and tasha yar?...

last night i dreamed that my boss gave me a violin, but i could only make it croak, despite the fact that i was in a nicely appointed appartment in a very tall building - obviously the digs of a talented violinist - then the kitten jumped on my head and woke me up, so i dreamed about swimming in a lake with the other...

it didn't occur to me when i hit enter that doing a GIS for "outlook icon" would result in a tidal wave of circa 1200 a.d. religious imagery.

on the plus side, mosaics are a whole lot nicer to look at than 16x16 pixel art.

update: Zork!

it just occurred to me how odd a problem inventing cranes must have been.

you have to build something that is for all intents and purposes a building that can build other buildings, yet this proto-building you have to build can't be built using a previous proto-building, and it has to be built at least an order of magnitude faster and cheaper than the building...

i'm watching Titanic on tv and i'm liking it. for the love of god, somebody make it stop.

i don't know whose idea it was for internet radio dj's to do traditional toasts over their mixes, but a nerdy sounding german giving big ups to his crew on the goddamned internet is a classic in terms of unintentional humor.

also, i want to write a sci-fi western concept album. really, is that too much to ask?

update:

further unintentional radio hilarity: the classic...

wow. i tried to fill out a dating profile but didn't save it because my answers were all too goddamn whitebread. seriously, it'd be a deterrent.

addendum: it's good to know that my fake bacon bits were sealed for freshness. pointless labels for the win.

every week our company has a Tuesday Chowdown which, when spoken like an Aussie, is alliterate. the way it works is two randomly drawn people cook lunch for everyone else. up today were myself and one of the other new recruits... i came up with the great idea to make a stylized meta-lunch. you can tell already that no good is going to come of...

i've been going through all the random boxes that i should have gone through right after moving. everyone has those boxes - all the crap that you end up just throwing into the move saying "ah, whatever, i'll sort it afterwards. i'm too busy right now".

so a good three or four months after the last move i'm just getting around to dealing with them...

the big things, they've been dealt with. but the little things like looking back into an empty appartment when i left for work, or sitting here thinking why isn't she hassling me to come home yet?. those kind of caught me off guard.

on the plus side, i can eat perogies every day for two weeks.

speaking of perogies, i now know what i...
