Friday we went on our corporate outing to Chilli Paintball Pits to shoot each other as a teambuilding exercise. I had never had the good fortune to play this sport before, and let me tell you all I’m sure as hell going again. Going in, I had no idea what to expect. I knew that […]

Karate last night was GREAT. I have no idea if my ribs are broken or seperated or whatever, but I do know this: EVERYTHING hurts like a bitch. There were a couple of times DURING BASICS that I was about ready to wet myself, but the Dictum of the Rabid Chihuahua states that a little […]

Last night before Karate I was lucky enough to get my Linux machine displaying through my TV. Unfortunately, something weird is happening with the drivers and they don’t seem to be loading/unloading properly. Example: I got the thing running through my TV finally.

Everything went very well with the hardware installation and clean Fedora Core 1 installation, as did the first eleven steps of the […]

This morning I had a weird dream that Tasha and I were planning some sort of strange second wedding for show. We were driving around talking about how it didn’t have to be as expensive this time for some reason or another, and we drove by this yard sale. There was this table that had […]

Yesterday marked one month of married life, and it was a nice little milestone. I got home from work about 5 pm to find that my hardware had come for my PVR (more on that in another post). Tasha was in the kitchen making brownies for me to take into work today, and OH they […]

I had this weird dream that I was back in high school. As always, I knew my grades were pretty bad, and my science teacher was offering extra credit for anyone that wanted to donate blood. I went to the donation point, which happened to be the next classroom over. My sister and her fiance […]
