  • Note To Self: Stupidity Hurts

    When you’re busy chucking old, useless CDs from their jewel cases, avoid trying to be clever while snapping shut said jewel cases. For instance, doing so one-handed may result in pinching the flesh of your palm in the hinge.

    Freakin’ ow. You wouldn’t think you could break skin by pinching yourself with a CD case, but… well, take it from me. You can.

    I’m such a klutz…

  • I am not a pet, mind you.

    It’s a children’s book, really.

    No, really, I’ve got nothing to add to this. Snark amongst yourselves. Me, I’m just getting my daily entry out of the way, and I’m too zonked out (feeling like thirty three and a third in a forty five RPM world) to come up with real content…

  • Filler Entries Are Fun

    We went north, we ate food, we chatted, we slept, we ate and chatted some more, we drove home.

    Oh, I took some pictures. They’ll show up in the gallery as soon as I have a stretch of time that isn’t in-freaking-sane in which to process them.

    Today? Not a good day, by most measures of such things. Le sigh. It wasn’t all bad, but it sure as heck wasn’t all good…

  • Brief Trip North

    So a group of us are heading up to Seattle for a nice overnight visit and party and such. I’m bringing my camera, so if all goes well there’ll be pictures once I get back.

    Don’t get into too much trouble while I’m gone, okay? Thanks.

  • Search Engine Funtime

    Now that the new server has stabilized, and now that I’ve switched from the not-updated-since-August-2003 Analog to the bright and new AWStats for website reporting, I can relax and do fun things like dig through this month’s search queries for nuggets of bloggy goodness.

    The anime site is generating its fair share of traffic, especially from fans of Popotan, Stellvia, Bottle Fairy and Mai Hime. Oddly enough, nobody used any inappropriate search phrases in that category this time around. (Whew.)

    I can’t say the same about whoever found me by searching for “peter pan slash fiction.” Ewww. Just, ewww. Oh, and if you’re searching for “google” on Google, you need professional help. And the less said about “penis sizes for a 15 year old,” the better.

    I’m surprised that the “Sorry Everybody” site (scroll down if you’re that curious, though one would think everyone’s seen it by now) generated so much traffic to this page. I mean, it’s not like people come here for compelling spiffy new meme-like stuff. But hey, whatever works. I even earned a couple of semi-spammy comments from it.

    One wonders what spurs someone to search for “mormon tractor trailer rig.” Hmm.

    I don’t know if I can help you “troubleshoot pumpkin pie not set up,” but if you give me said pumpkin pie I’ll be willing to give it a taste. Er, try. *cough*

    Workplace entries, particularly personality-specific posts, generate some traffic. People still want to know about Marconi and Tiny, and wonder if I have any new anecdotes about Daria O’Neil, and so on. The answer in both cases is “no,” which is fortunate or unfortunate depending on your point of view.

    And for the very, very small handful of you who were looking for the Tenchi Muyo Thumbnail Theater and the Past, Present, Future archives… all I can say is, if you’ll pardon the phrase, “Sorry everybody!”

  • Can I have a drink off of your…?

    Sweet mother of wrongness, does anybody put any thought at all into product names anymore?

    Exhibit #3497-A in my case for the fact that Marketing has completely triumphed over Common Sense. “Absolutely original. The children love it.” You said what?

    Oh my goodness, the puns, won’t someone please think of the puns!
