  • Another personality quiz, eh?

    In lieu of actually having something interesting to say, I present you with…

    Your personality type is SCUEI

    Whoah. Did you get all that?

    Apparently if I’d been a smidgen less extroverted and/or a smidgen more inquisitive, I’d actually have been in the right city, according to the full results page’s breakdown of which cities are “the most” for a given trait.

    Of course like all such quizzes it’s worth just about as much as the electrons it’s displayed with…

  • Cleaning Jag

    From time to time I get on a bit of a cleaning jag. For instance, today I was going to run a load of dishes and wipe down the sink. I went from that to wiping down the fridge and the dishwasher itself as well as cleaning the inside of the microwave (a job worth doing, no doubt about it).

    So now I’m sweaty, tired, and have a bad case of prunefinger. But hey, cleanliness is next to… somethingsomething… right?

  • Ah, bliss.

    Happiness is…

    …not having to get up at five-something in the morning on a Saturday.

    That will be all. Thank you.

  • That’ll set him straight, for sure.

    Via William Bragg, the following bit from Bradford Plumer in response to what is one of the most absurdly paranoid bits of anti-gay sentiment I’ve seen in a while.

    Bradford Plumer: Gay Alert

  • Let sit in what?

    In theory: You follow the instructions on the box, heating up your frozen entree in the microwave and then, as indicated, “let sit for one to two minutes.”

    In practice: You get your food out of the microwave as soon as it’s hot enough to eat so that the three people behind you in the lunchroom queue don’t string you up by your toes for obstruction of mealtime.

  • Dude, it’s been done. To death.

    Here’s a little hint for those of you who play City of Heroes and are excited about the prospect of equipping a new character with bow and arrow:

    Please, do not name your character some variant of “Robin Hood.” Really. If you can’t summon forth the slightest bit of creativity, if all you can do is use a mangled rendition of, oh, the most famous bowslinger in all literature, then you need to get out of the game right now. Yes, right now.

    Thank you.

    This public service message brought to you by all of ten minutes on the Test server, puttering around Atlas Park with my TA/Archery Defender. Who is not, I’ll have you know, at all named anything like the aforementioned character. This is more than I can say for the half dozen clones I saw… Sheesh.
