Five Things for Wednesday, Feb 17th
1. My frazzled work-self is making it difficult for me to write. I can barely think of five things to talk about without making one of them a ranty bitchy screed that no one cares about. Of course, almost no one reads this anyway, so what’s the harm? I guess I’d prefer to talk and think about other things.
Five Things for Tuesday, February 16th
1. It took over an hour to get to work today. It was snowing. but there wasn’t any snow on the road. People were just driving incredibly badly, either WAY too slow or ridiculously recklessly, like the tool douchebag driving the wrong way down a one-way street and looking pissed that he couldn’t get by. I should have just driven into him.
Five Things for Monday, Feb 15
1. Valentine’s Day weekend was a lot of fun. Friday night Lady Aravan and I relaxed with a Dominick’s stromboli and calzone, Saturday we went to a Chinese New Year’s party, and Sunday we had company for dinner. As much as I looked forward to relaxing all weekend, every activity was a lot of fun and I enjoyed myself immensely.
Five Things for Friday, Feb 12th
1. I am in the mood for some good horror-based tabletop roleplaying. Lady Aravan’s VtDA game would be so much fun right now, with the dark nights and the cold wind blowing. I’d even run one, if I had the time or inclination to design one. I’ve been reading a Ravenloft source book, and even though I don’t really like D&D as a system and mood-setter, it does make me crave a good dark gaming session. Someday soon I’ll get started on my campaign, as soon as I finish editing the damn novel.
Five Things for Tuesday, Feb 2nd
1. Man, was yesterday a serious Monday, as in an epic “Case of the Mun-days.” I was dreaded Monday as soon as it got dark on Sunday, as was Lady Aravan, and boy howdy were our premonitions of impending suck correct. The best thing about today is that it isn’t yesterday.
And Now, A Brief Message From A Beleaguered Accountant
Payroll tax filings and w-2’s are a horrible, horrible thing for me to deal with, Federal forms, state forms, city forms, all calculated slightly differently and requiring a manual spreadsheet to complete. I hate them all, I hates taxes in every way shape or form. Ugh.
Five Things for Tuesday, Jan. 26
1. I spent over 6 hours yesterday moving and/or assembling furniture yesterday. I still have more to do, which is alright, since I don’t mind doing it really. IKEA is the most wonderfulest furniture store ever, and putting their stuff together is generally really easy. The only piece that frightens me is the buffet. Lots o’ parts and heavy. I’m not as sore as I thought I’d be, which is a bonus.
Football Karma
Karma is an interesting concept. My intention is not to discuss the wide-ranging philosophical implications of karma and what it means to different people and blah blah blah. No, I’m merely interested in the applications of karma to professional football.
Five Things for Friday, January 22nd
1. Game predictions: Favre Bowl ’10 approacheth, like a beast shambling onwards towards Bethlehem. Vikings/Jets in the Super Bowl. God help us all.
