Just a few random facts for your (complete lack of) edification.

• Budget Gourmet makes what may very well be the nastiest mac-and-cheese ever tasted by mankind. I think it’s even nastier than that time Christine made “green mac-and-cheese soup.” It’s bad, folks.
  
• When you’ve spent your entire adult(ish) life using an electric shaver, and one day your Braun shaver breaks, it’s far better to kludge the damned thing into some semblance of operation than to peel bits of skin off your face trying to use a cheap straight razor. Hell, I didn’t even get most of the hairs, yesterday. Gah. To hell with that.
  
• Mandrake Linux 9.0 makes a lousy place to start building Linux From Scratch, due to their complete failure to provide the glibc-static-devel RPM on the CD-ROMs.
  
• Counting on the generosity of the AMV creator community to get professional feedback on your new video is a bit like counting on Dubya to introduce bold, forward-looking environmental legislation. (So far, two of my friends have said they like the video. I’d still like to get critical feedback, though. And ErMaC never did return my emails.)
  
• Last but not least… when you spend two days reading books and playing Diablo II, you don’t get much writing done.
